00:00 Chicago, Chicago, a toddling town.

00:05 Take me out for some hot dogs.

00:09 Alright, we are in the heart of Chicago, downtown Chicago.

00:15 We got CBS headquarters here, we got Macy's, we got the Chicago Theater, we got the Gay Barrel.

00:22 We got that building there, what is that, the library?

00:27 No, that's City Hall.

00:30 One side is City Hall, the other side is County Hall.

00:33 Ah, so we got City Hall, County Hall, they call it Cook County, but you know what it really is, it's Crook County.

00:40 Lots of corruption happening there.

00:42 And we have the library down the street, we have Chicago Theater.

00:50 No, no, the library is that way, you're talking about the old library.

00:53 It's now the cultural center.

00:57 Sir, one cup, one cook. Thank you, though, thank you.

01:01 Oh no, this gives it veracity. You're in Chicago, this is what you get in Chicago.

01:06 You got schmucks coming up and telling you, "I know you're in there, yeah, yeah, that's what it's all about."

01:11 We got the Chicago Theater.

01:17 Where do you want to go eat?

01:19 These are good hot dog spots, I mean, this is the city of hot dogs.

01:23 Well, we got this food hall, urban space food hall, that takes the mall food court and brings it to the city, the heart of the city.

01:35 And here they have a place called the Hot Dog Box, home of the Steak Dog.

01:40 What the fuck is a Steak Dog? We'll find out.

01:43 Let's see if this hot dog is worthy of the city of Chicago.

01:48 [music]

01:51 [music]

01:54 [music]

02:20 All right, the Hot Dog Box.

02:24 You know, right here is the food hall, it's right in the heart of downtown Chicago.

02:30 Closer to Chicago Theater, across Chief Macy's, like the heart of Chicago.

02:35 Well, we're going to give a review of these dogs, see how good they are.

02:40 Now the bun feels a little stiff to me, not warm.

02:44 But the bun to dog ratio is acceptable.

02:51 I like the color of the dog though, nicely grilled.

02:55 So let's see how good the good old fashioned flank is.

02:59 [music]

03:01 [music]

03:03 Not much of a snap, not much in taste.

03:24 This quite frankly is a good cafeteria dog.

03:28 It's a single.

03:31 And by the way, resist paper straws.

03:40 All right, now we have a chili dog here.

03:46 And there's a lot of chili on here, a lot of chili and cheese.

03:50 And it's leaking all over the place.

03:55 [music]

03:57 Sadly, this chili comes with beans.

04:09 You should not put beans on a chili dog.

04:19 The structure of the bun does not hold the chili.

04:23 [music]

04:25 Leave me with beans!

04:30 All right, now here's the speciality.

04:36 The steak dog.

04:39 That man told me this is the most famous hot dog in the world.

04:45 I've been all over the world.

04:49 This is the first time I've actually heard of a steak dog.

04:53 Kind of like a pretzel bun looks like to me.

04:57 Good coloring, very good char.

05:01 Looks more like a Polish sausage to me.

05:04 Which is very famous here in Chicago.

05:07 Let's give it a try.

05:10 [music]

05:13 [music]

05:15 [music]

05:44 It's ordinary.

05:46 I'm going to give this another signal.

05:49 What do you expect?

05:54 It's a food court.

05:56 Which is kind of like a cafeteria to begin with.

06:00 I mean, it could have been worse.

06:04 The chili is terrible.

06:07 But the hot dogs are good enough to actually give you something to eat.

06:12 And you don't want to spit them out.

06:15 As for the most famous dog in the world.

06:19 That would be like calling Rafael Santana the most famous 86 man.

06:26 But if you know any place I can go, leave a comment down below.

06:32 And of course don't forget to click like, subscribe.

06:35 And give me suggestions anywhere I should go.

06:38 Because you never know where we would show up.

06:41 As far as this, most famous dog in the world.

06:44 With all these Chicago institutions here.

06:48 This is a 12th man off the bench.

06:51 Ben Schwarmer.

06:52 This is the 3rd street quarterback.

06:54 This is the 25th man on the baseball roster.

06:59 Take me out for some hot dogs.

07:05 Get me one that's only plain.

07:08 No mustard or horseradish ketchup.

07:11 I'll know what the dog is really about.

07:15 And it's hoped that this is a good one.

07:19 Maybe a home run or a double.

07:22 But if it sucks it will be a strikeout.

07:25 And not worthy of my taste buds.

07:28 Come on bus, move.
