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.
