This place has to at lest tie for the Best Itilian Beef I have ever had. The hot dogs are very authentic to the classic dog and the fries are fresh cut and home made! The best in Lake county! The place is decorated with classic Chicago pictures including old chicago, and a classic Bears Ditka picture of him 'communicating' with the press. Must see!

For Immediate Release PEE WEE’S FAMOUS HOT DOGS BRINGING CHICAGO TO ORANGE COUNTY HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. (August 26, 2010) – Hot dog fans no longer need to grab a cross-country flight to indulge their passion. Once the domain of New York and Chicago, Orange County can now lay claim to having world-renowned dogs. Pee Wee’s Famous Hot Dogs and Hamburgers has opened in Huntington Beach. “People get very attached to a certain style of hot dog, and are quite passionate about the types of things that separate a ‘good’ hot dog from a ‘great’ hot dog,” said Herm Cundall, General Manager of Pee Wee’s and one of the three family members that founded the restaurant. “For example, we use the classic Vienna® dog in many of our recipes and this has a natural casing that snaps when you bite into it. That is the level of detail that we are bringing to Orange County and can help people avoid travel expenses by getting their dog fix locally.” In addition to the traditional menu, they have Chicago-style (Vienna® beef with choice of mustard, relish, dill spear, tomato, onion, celery salt and sport peppers) and Chili Dogs, Pee Wee’s also offers a complete line of signature items. The Hawaiian Dog, served on warm, sweet Hawaiian bread, is quickly becoming a favorite of the locals. It comes with a choice of spicy Habanero mustard, jalapeno or mango relish. $3.95 for gourmet chicken sausage and for only a dollar extra you can treat yourself to a world class 1/3 pound spicy polish. Pee Wee’s is also getting strong reviews for their Supreme Chili Dog, a jumbo hand-rolled German frankfurter on a fresh French baguette with chili, cheese, onion and mustard. On Yelp.com where real people offer their real-world reviews Pee Wee’s is receiving extremely positive praise. John S. wrote, “Ok, this place just opened and I can honestly say their hot dogs rock. I've been known to drive up to…LA for a good dog, but I don't think I’m going to have to do that again. My wife got their chili cheese dog, and the chili was phenomenal. It was perfect hot dog chili. I tried the Hawaiian dog, and it was great, chicken sausage on a toasted King's Hawaiian roll, with jalapeno chili. Also, they have some crazy custom built machine that's made to specifically toast King's Hawaiian bread which was a nice added touch.” Nick D. enjoyed his Pee Wee’s experience as well. “I ordered the Chili Cheese Dog and to my surprise it was really good. I have searched long and far for a good local Hot Dog place and there are very few that really can do it. The dog came on a French bread roll which was nice and crispy. It’s nice to have a non-soggy hot dog bun for a change. The chili was just right and cheese layered the inside of the bun. Also it had a good amount of onions in the chili to top it off,” he wrote. Those who prefer a hearty hamburger won’t feel left out by the Pee Wee’s menu either. Customers can choose between several types of patties, including 100 percent ground chuck, ground turkey, chicken breast or veggie burger. Depending on your mood, customize any way you like from a variety of toppings that range from the standards like cheese to the exotics including homemade super sauces: a spicy chipotle spread or garlic aioli, sport peppers, and sauerkraut. Still undecided between a hot dog and hamburger? Pee Wee’s will even top their burgers with a butterflied frankfurter. Burgers and hot dogs need a side of fries, and at Pee Wee’s you can have their private reserve fries topped with chili and cheese if desired. There are also sweet potato tater tots and hand-made onion rings to take your taste buds to the next level. Complete the meal with an ice-cold Pee Wee’s homemade lavender limeade or fresh lemonade to quench the thirst on a warm summer afternoon. The complete menu is online and can be viewed at www.PeeWeesFamous.com. Pee Wee’s Famous Hot Dogs and Hamburgers is located at 5942 Edinger Avenue in Huntington Beach. This is at the corner of Edinger and Springdale in the Marina Village complex. The telephone number is (714) 846-3100. If you’ve been searching for the best hot dog in Orange County, or you’re simply just hungry, Pee Wee’s will give you a meal to remember. And if you don’t believe us, this is what Mel M. posted on Yelp.com: “One of the few gifts god has granted me in life is being a hot dog specialist. What's a hot dog specialist? Well I'll tell you. It is someone who is educated in the delicate fine art of consuming hot dogs. That's me. And if that's you too, then make way and get yourself over to Pee Wee's because they serve up a delicious hot dog. If you are into spicy I would recommend their hot polish dog with kraut and mustard. It is paradise draped in a soft chewy baguette. It's the closest thing to hot dog perfection I have ever experienced. Don't like hot dogs? Well then they have hamburgers. Don't eat meat? Well then they have veggie dogs and burgers. Don't like any of the above? Then you are just downright difficult and I don't deal in that nonsense. Don't you know that hot dogs make the world go round?” # # # Note to Editors: If you bring a copy of this release to Pee Wee’s we will be pleased to treat you to a meal on the house.

Yank's Franks does the Chicago Dog one better: The Yank's Frank, a GRILLED Chicago-style hot dog (right down to the celery salt) on a GRILLED buttered New-England-Style bun. OMG! You have got to try it! Phenomenal! You'll never eat another soggy steamed bun once you've tried the Yank's Frank. (The fries are awesome, too.)

If you want a great Chicago style dog cooked to perfection over a wood-fired grill, then come check out Jerry's Wood-Fired Dogs (4 locations in Orange County, Ca.) You can create your own dog with any of the 30+ FREE toppings (say you don't want the sport peppers), or ask for Jerry's version of the Chicago Dog.

I'm a Long Islander, and my first taste of a Chicago dog was at the Shake Shack in right field at the home of my beloved Mets. It was a transformative experience! I wish I had discovered your site prior to my recent Chicago visit. I make Chicago dogs once a week at the BBQ restaurant where I work, and the staff loves them! I'm actually thinking of starting a Chicago Dog business on LI to preach the gospel. These dogs rule!

This place is great! It may be over 200 miles from Chicago, but the Chicago dogs here would stand up to any in the Windy City. They offer tons of toppping options. You get to pick the way your dog is cooked, the bun, and specialize the toppings just the way you want them, but just get the Chicago Dog it's better than a steak dinner!

Steamed, Vienna Brand dogs, plus FRESH BAKED poppyseed buns and the freshest tomatos. The owner takes a lot of pride in bringing this to the community.

Wayne's is a very informal but great place to experience eating what is known as the Chicago Hot Dog!!!. Both the Italian Beef and the Vienna Hot Dog are done up right at this eating establishment and with all the Chicago memorabilla on the ceiling and walls, you could be sitting in a restaurant in the Windy City. There is also flat screens with the Chicago baseball teams being shown in action while you eat. Randy and the crew have done a GREAT job of bringing the Chicago eating experience to the West Coast!!! There is enough variety on the menu to satisfy the diehard Chicago person that is homesick for Chicago style food done right!!!!

Rusty Findlay - Friday, 11 June 2010 [ 01:59 PM]
What Makes Devil Dawg’s the best Hot Dog Stand in Chicago? The Devil is in the Details! Rusty Findlay, three times World Barbecue Champion, has learned it takes the very best ingredients, great craftsmanship, and of course an incredible desire to make it right every time, if you want to serve the very best of something. These days, Rusty is giving the good folks of Chicago a close up look at Championship Hot Dogs, Hamburgers and Fresh Cut Fries at Devil Dawgs, 2147 N. Sheffield Ave in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. Whether you are a Hot Dog, Hamburger and French Fry aficionado or just an average Chicagoan looking for great food at an affordable price, put Devil Dawgs on your must do list. The experience begins with the always favorite Hot Dog…at Devil Dawgs it is an “All Beef” natural casing Hot Dog with the SNAP that comes from a real Chicago Sausage…the trademark of a Hot Dog made for adults, not a watered down, soggy kids dog…and have your dog “Chicago Style” with all of the “fixins” you’ve come to expect; and when you want a hot dog that’s really special, try a Coney Dog with Cheese. The Coney Sauce is homemade, thick, sweet and memorable and if you’re looking for a special treat, try a Slaw Dog with Sweet, Southern Style Cole Slaw on top of your dog. When you want a hamburger, Rusty demands perfection…the Burgers are made from whole Sirloin Steaks, trimmed and ground into hamburger patties with more juicy flavor, less fat and piled on fresh baked “Egg Buns” as a “single”, “double” or “triple” burger. Now what really sets Devil Dawgs apart from everyone else is their Fresh Cut French Fries. These Fries taste like the french fries you grew up with; only better. Using old fashioned “know-how” and a traditional three step process, Rusty has created the perfect french fry. Fresh cut every day, from number “1” Idaho Russet, Burbank potatoes…the potatoes go through a special process that makes them crispy on the outside, luscious on the inside and full of potato goodness all over. Every order of French Fries are made to order, always served hot and always delicious. Try these hand-crafted French fries once, and you will keep coming back for more. You can even say the Devil made you do it.

Had my first ChiDog here and LOVED it. Made a special trip to the store late last night to buy ingredients so we could have them for dinner tonight. Couldn't find Sport Peppers or Poppyseed Buns, so we'll have to substitute...that's OK, though, I think it's the celery salt that makes it! Thanks, great site!!

In March 2010 I experienced the Dawg Haus at the base of Pete's Express Lift #39, in Pete's Bowl, at Vail Ski Resort, serving a terrific Chicago Dawg. It is an extra long beef frank with sport peppers, relish, onions, pickle slices, tomato wedges, sport peppers, and celery salt. The bun is a standard long bun and you have to apply your own mustard. One day they had chopped tomatoes and pickle spears. An excellent dog. I have photos and can send those to you if you contact me.

I went to Chicago at the end of June in 2009 on a business trip. First time to this beautiful city and believe me, it will not be the last. Just a glimpse of this gorgeous place and it really reminds you of what our wonderful country was made of and founded on, I was very proud of the stunning artwork and scenery. It made me proud to be an American all over again, the same way I feel when I visit Philadelphia. Being in such a huge city and so many wonderful places to enjoy, my trip only permitted one nights stay and back to my office the next day or I would have ventured to try more of what Chicago offered. My choice was a GREAT pick. Not only was the service superb but the food was "out of this world". WOW, would be a great word to describe the all around experience I had at hackneys. I was lucky enough to have to wait at the bar for my table and experience the kindness and skills of a very capable bar tending staff. (Not too long though :) ). I can't say enough - fresh greans - cheeses where right on the money with the entree. Very pleased, I wish I could have experienced more and hope to go back again next year, ill plan on a longer stay if it means I can get back to Hackneys again. :)

in 1965 i was at the junction of rush st and state about a block south of division and stopped in a franksville. at that time they gave me the hot dg in a bun and had about 4 rows with maybe 6 trays to a row of everything a person could put on a hot dog. never went back and when i wanted to try them a few years later they were gone. sure think that idea could make a go as long as they use vienna brand chicago hot dogs

If you are ever up in La Crosse try a place called Beef & Etc. (Or simply 'The Beef' to the locals). It is near the UW-L Campus. Using your scale (and my level of intoxication), I would give them a 3 or 4. They use a Vienna Beef dog, but it goes down hill from there. The relish is army issued olive-drab green. The peppers are jalepenos. Most disturbing, I think they use regular hot dog buns that they then sprinkle with poppy seeds. They are however the only game in town for anything close to a Chi-dog. They also have a pretty good Italian Beef sandwich. The decor is nothing more than posters of anything Chicago.

it's not in the chicagoland area, it's in champaign, but if you ever come down here to come to a u of i game or just going down south down 57 and need to stop and get a dawg, come to big mouth's on green street. the dawg i had was pretty much perfect. there were a couple of things. the relish which was neon green was lightly put on and the onions i believe were caramilized a bit, and it wasn't a jumbo dog, just a reg size dog. but it still tasted perfectly!!! the sport pepers were the perfect heat. the bun was perfect, and they knew what they were doing. so i invite you to try and review big mouths. a couple other things, a special comes with two dogs fries(hand cut and perfect, and a drink for about 6.00 and if you are starved, try a doubledog!!!)

I enjoyed your website and thought I'd pass on a suggested classic red hot stand for a future review. I'm living in rural Tennessee now as an owner/operator of a small family blueberry farm, but I can assure you that I spent 25 formative years growing up in the city on the west side of Chicago. An example of the "Real Deal" is Jimmy's Red Hots located at the corner of Grand Avenue and Pulaski Road in Chicago. Vienna dogs, steamed buns, mustard, onions, relish and sport peppers wrapped together with fresh cut french fries. They will undoubtedly attack you if you even refer to ketchup in the building. Our family ate those dogs beginning in the early 50s and the stand is still in business. I can no longer vouch for the neighborhood, so keep one guy in the car with the engine running just in case, but Jimmy's is a great dog stand. Keep up the good work.

Hey guys - great to find your site!! I was born in Chicago a long time ago...moved away before I could truly appreciate the culinary greatness of Chi-town...well, I ended up in Texas...got the craving for a Chicago Dog today... Just had THE BEST hot dog of my life...well 2 of them actually! lol Ordered two Jumbo Chicago Dogs with The Works. It was a good thing I was sitting down....wow...."more than a mouthful" comes to mind...absolutely, positively EXCELLENT...the sport peppers were a really nice kick, the onions, mustard, relish, tomato, celery salt, the dog and the poppy seed bun blended nicely....wow....the chips (Jay's, from Chicago as well) are awesome too.

Hi, could you review Roma's in Chicago. It is located on Cicero Ave. between Montrose and Irving Park. It is on the east side of the street and it intersects Hutchinson.
P.S. I am a native Chicagoan and your website is pretty cool!
