MG is right, brucie. Chicago hot dogs are actually served to the warriors in Valhalla by scantily-clad Valkyries and to the gods and goddesses on Olympus. Somewhere in the bible it's stated that Hell is the only place without even a hope for a Chicago hot dog. Patrick Henry actually said, "Give me a Flukey's or give me death!"
There are many things about Chicago that are reprehensible, but they are more than compensated for by the hot dogs.
As the great Hoosier poet Kevin Kilmer wrote after his first visit to the Windy City:
"I think that I shall never eat A dog like one bought on State Street.
A dog with mustard oh so yellow And a poppy-seed bun, there's a good fellow!
Poems can be made in town or bog But only Chi can make a dog!"
