Red Hot Chicago hot dogs, burgers, homemade Italian beef and skin-on fries make up the bulk of the menu at this little Lincoln Park hot dog spot where specialties include not-for-the-faint-of-heart indulgences such as a sizable bacon cheddar burger and "three-way fries" loaded with cheddar, sour cream and bacon bits. Traditionalists can get Chicago-style dogs; veggie dogs are available too.
