00:00I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy.

00:04Ah, 4th of July!

00:07Yes, it's an independent saying once again.

00:10And you know, nothing's more American than hot dogs.

00:13Take me out for some hot dogs.

00:17Back in Chicago, in the Wicker Park neighborhood.

00:20Look at this, Wicker Park.

00:22You know, it kind of looks like a, like, new area here.

00:25A lot of new buildings, a lot of new places.

00:27And there's Vinnie Deeds, they have Vinnie Deeds.

00:30You know, they're kind of only open in the summertime, seasonal.

00:33They have Italian ice, shaved ice, and they have hot dogs.

00:37Not only that, they have rippers.

00:41I mean, I came to Chicago and I haven't married a ripper.

00:45It's a little taste of Jersey, maybe.

00:47Well, I'm going to see how close they are to getting to Jersey ripper taste, right?

00:51Because, you know, rippers is what Rutz Hutts is known for.

00:55I mean, that's New Jersey.

00:58A taste of Jersey and Chicago.

01:00Let's see if Vinnie Deeds measures up as they go raw dogging Chicago.

01:05Cline from Chicago, the

01:08initiatives are perfect.

01:10For hot chocolate, spicy, spicy and spicy and spicy wait parties.

01:12So it's a beautiful spicy beer, and one of the highly relaxingakh tattooor is perfect.

01:15For hot chocolate, the hot chocolate, is almost perfect.

01:17Welcome to Texas.

01:18Okay, everyone have lunch here for our dinner today.

01:20Let's see if it's at home.

01:22Bye, everyone.

01:35You don't have a chili dog, but you know what, I'll try one of their Chicago dogs and a Jersey

01:43style dog.

01:44I mean, let's see how this place is going, they've been open for 8 years, and well, it's

01:51a nice looking place here.

01:53And bundle dog ratio is very good.

01:57Nice coloring on the hot dog, this is the regular Chicago style hot dog, of course it's

02:01got the poppy seed bun, true to Chicago, Vienna being true to Chicago, well, let's see how

02:08this tastes.

02:12Nice snap.

02:17That hot dog is a triple.

02:20Alright, well, here's the next hot dog, now, they call it a ripper, and you know what a ripper

02:30is, it's Rut's Hut, it's Jersey, and I love the deep fried hot dogs, it's how I usually

02:38make hot dogs when I'm home, because it's Jersey, this is New Jersey style hot dog, it tastes

02:43of Jersey here in Chicago.

02:46Let's see how they're able to replicate it, of course with Vienna beef.

02:51Coloring is great, coloring is great, didn't quite pop like the Rut's Hut does, but let's

02:56see how this tastes.

03:03Oh, raise the apple, that's a home run, a taste of Jersey in Chicago, but they also have fries,

03:16and look at that, love the color here in this fried.

03:23I'm going to give these fries an 8.9, the fries are terrific.

03:39You know, Chicago is known for their beefs, but they got this nice beef here, let's see

03:46how this tastes.

03:54They're really tender, they use their own Jorgeneers.

04:01I'm going to give the beef an 8.2.

04:09Alright, you know, 4th of July, I'm going to treat myself to a nice lemon ice.

04:13You know, you can keep your ice cream.

04:15I want lemon ice.

04:16And you know, in New Jersey, sadly, a lot of the old school lemon ice places have been replaced

04:23by Rita's.

04:24I don't want Rita's, Rita's sucks.

04:26But this place, this is what lemon ice should look like.

04:29Look at the consistency, look at the taste.

04:35You can taste the lemon.

04:37This is a genuine Italian ice.

04:39Perfect.

04:428.6.

04:45I mean, this place is great.

04:47It's like a little bit of Jersey in Chicago.

04:55Ah, you know, hot dogs make me pee dry.

05:00And, you know, if it's the 4th of July, and you're home, or on the road, a hot dog always

05:10satisfies.

05:11That's what America's about.

05:13Happy 4th of July.

05:14Happy Independence Day.

05:15249 years.

05:16Next year's a big one.

05:18The big 250 next year.

05:20Yes, in that sweaty haul, Philadelphia, 1776.

05:27This place is truly Americana.

05:33Awesome hot dogs.

05:35And if you know another place that's just as good, let me know.

05:39Email me.

05:40And have a great work.

05:42So, email me.

05:44Let me know.

05:45Where should I go next?

05:46I'll see you down the road.

05:48And God bless USA, and God bless hot dogs.

05:52Keep broad-dogging.

05:57Take me out for some hot dogs.

06:01Get me one that's only plain.

06:04No mustard or ketchup.

06:07I'll know what the dog is really about.

06:10And it's hope that this is a good one.

06:14Maybe a home run or a double.

06:17But if it sucks, it will be a strikeout and not worthy of my taste buds.

06:23I'll see you later.

06:24I'll see you later.

06:25Bye.
