I like to think that even if I hadn't grown up in Chicago, I would have come to like Chicago-style hot dogs anyway. A Chicago dog is an all-beef wiener on a poppy seed bun, with a choice of toppings . . .

I have already written several reviews in which I espouse the joys of restaurants that offer a variety of small dishes, to be ordered in combination. For that reason, I was intrigued when I found out . . .
