Did you ever make it over to Windy City Grill just a few miles NE of your stand? Rob sells a ton of Vienna Dogs and polish sausage sandwiches. I will admit his customer base includes a good number of Chicago Ex Pats. You might want to go talk with he's a great guy.

I have not made it over there yet. I drive by there everyday and didnt even know I was so close. I will stop by there and give it a try.

ohman, are you a football fan?
During football season, do you ever get tired of hearing your teams name?

Its the same sort of thing with Vienna to me. I grew up eating them, and I love them. Bests Kosher is decent, but I will go the extra few blocks to get my Vienna Beef hot dog

Mr 100:
You can't go wrong with Nathan's. Close 2nds, Sabrett, Hebrew National and Boars Head...

That's if you want franks that need minimum to no toppings to give it taste.

wherever you are in the usa vienna will do

I've been a real fan of those Viennies for years and years. What's really neat about them is the way you can shove at least two cans of those things into your pants pocket, and still fit a can of sardines. Boy, howdy! Add a sleeve of Saltines and you're in hog heaven for a fishing trip.

i meant vienna hot dogs and beef products, im from skokie as a kid lol, i could never eat one of them things out of a can i would puke

I know what you mean. That's what happened to me when I tasted one of them there Viennie brand frankfurters.

Michael, I see you're playing catch and release. Opening day for Wisconsin fishing doesn't start until the first Saturday in May. I'll continue to practice my casting in the back yard until the spring.

OK, I give up. What is so special about a Vienna hot dog? I have never seen one inside the borders of NYS other than that canned stuff everyone was joking about.

I suspect it is just another NYC style dog that has adopted a pretentious name.

What exactly is the difference between a NYC style dog and a Chicago Vienna style dog?

This topic has been discussed for the last three years in the hot dog forum. A search under "Vienna Beef" is a good place to start. You can also visit www.viennabeef.com and go to Vienna Beef information, recipes, and faq's or visit http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/whereweeat/stern_hotdog.html

When you get south of San Marcos you'll find that the cheaper brands are what most are used to eating. North of there look for an all beef. Texans, from what I know, are not the best judges of a hot dog.

Catch and release is what I do. Except with keeper-size walleye.
