Best Chicago-Style Hot Dog
Steve's Hot Dogs
STAFF PICK: The good people of Chicago have a propensity
for putting fresh produce on their hot dogs. They dispense with
ketchup and replace it with a tomato wedge; they forsake relish
in exchange for a kosher pickle spear. Hey, they just want to
be different. Just like that whole deep-dish pizza thing. The
Chicago-style hot dog has its day locally at Steve's Hot Dog
Stand, appropriately located downtown in El Presidio Park
(Alameda Street and Church Avenue, behind the Pima County Courthouse).
On weekdays and during special events, he piles whole peppers,
mustard, chopped onions, tomato and pickle slices onto his steamed
dogs, finishing strong with a dash of celery salt. Steve doesn't
just make Chicago-style dogs; he builds them. The whole
production is somehow contained in a single poppy seed bun. Two
hands are needed for this unwieldy but delicious meal. We recommend
devouring your dog at a discreet distance from the park's resident
pigeon patrol. These brazen birds also know a good thing when
they see it.
