Chicago DogHouse is a tiny Windy City-themed hot dog stand that has been in business since 2010. It is one of those little local watering holes where the staff knows its best patrons by name.

This quaint and classic joint was started by a retired Chicago cop, which means the food is guaranteed to be authentic. As there is not much space inside, most patrons choose to take their meals to-go.
