00:00Take me out for some hot dogs.

00:04All right, I'm back in Chicago.

00:06And, uh, well, let's see.

00:091926 on the south side.

00:12It's Rico Benny's.

00:14And everyone in Chicago swears by this place.

00:16I mean, it's the place that's been popping forever.

00:19So, they have hot dogs, amongst other things.

00:22I'm going to check them out to see if they live up to the standard.

00:25Let's take a look.

00:28♪♪

00:58♪♪

01:11All right, Rico Benny's has been around since 1946.

01:15And they're known for a lot of things.

01:17They have hot dogs, pizza, chicken parm, a steak sandwich, which people swear by.

01:24And, of course, the hot dogs.

01:26And these are the traditional hot dogs.

01:29The poppy seed bun.

01:32Mmm.

01:34Nice bun-to-dog ratio.

01:36Bun steamed.

01:38They come with fries.

01:41Decent color on the hot dog.

01:43But let's see how it actually tastes.

01:45♪♪

01:55♪♪

02:02Solid, solid dog.

02:04This hot dog is a double.

02:08Now, the chili cheese actually scooped up some of the fries.

02:13Let me see how this tastes.

02:14Let me see if I can get some of these hot fries off of here.

02:18I'll try the fries a little bit later, but I don't want to have too many fries.

02:22All right.

02:24Let's try this chili cheese out.

02:26♪♪

02:34Kind of a sloppy bun.

02:39It's got the beans.

02:43I'm going to give the chili cheese a blue single.

02:51And let's try one of these fries here.

02:59Very good fries.

03:00Very good fries.

03:03There's no time I would discard them all down.

03:06You got to try Rico Benet's breaded steak sandwich at least.

03:10I will try it, but I want to do the prior review.

03:14Okay, do the prior review, and then we're going to have Rico Benet's breaded steak.

03:21The fries are solid.

03:22There's no time I would discard these down.

03:28So I'm going to give the fries a solid 8.2.

03:38Rico Benet's breaded steak sandwich, which might be the best I've tried.

03:42Let's see how it tastes.

03:51Not bad.

03:52A little different.

03:53A little different.

03:55More like a chicken parm taste with steak.

04:00I'm going to give this a 7.9.

04:03No way!

04:04That's a good score.

04:057.9?

04:07That's a good score.

04:08Alright, a classic place with a wide menu.

04:13I mean, they got ribs, they got that breaded steak, which everyone seems to love.

04:18I thought it was nice and juicy.

04:21More like a Parmesan than a steak.

04:23And the hot dogs are solid too.

04:26So Rico Benet's, classic, classic Chicago.

04:31Been around almost 80 years.

04:34To survive that long, you have to be good.

04:36So if you know any other places I should go, leave a comment down below.

04:39Tell me where I should go next.

04:41I'm on the road.

04:43I'm raw-dogging.

04:44I'm raw-dogging everywhere.

04:46See you down the road.

04:49Keep raw-dogging.

04:55Take me out for some hot dogs.

04:59Get me one that's only plain.

05:02No mustard or ketchup.

05:05I'll know what the dog is really about.

05:08And it's hoped that this is a good one.

05:12Maybe a home run or a double.

05:15But if it sucks, it will be a strikeout.

05:18And I'm worthy of my taste buds.

05:24Alright, I'm back in Chicago again.

05:26And you know, I'm hitting the south side.

05:294-8.

05:32That's not a good sign.

05:33What the fuck?

05:34It just went right over my foot.

05:35What the fuck?

05:36There's a little mouse over here.

05:38It just went right over my foot.

05:40Alright, take two.

05:59Take two.

06:00Take two.
