I've never had a Chicago Dog before so I don't really have a point of reference to tell you if Sonic's version tastes like one but it was very good.
It sounds like all the toppings might be overkill, especially with the amount of relish they piled on, but it actually wasn't and I was surprised that all the toppings combined into a tasty blend of seasoned nuanced flavors (the poppy seeds and celery salt are not to be overlooked). I think my pickle spear went missing so there could have been even more flavor!

ReplyDeletei love these, eat them probably 3 times a week! i'm pretty sure there isn't supposed to be that much relish
ReplyDeleteWithout the bun and only relish? That's not a Chicago dog. It's a relish dog, nothing more. Major hot dog eating fail there.
ReplyDeleteDangit and that sodium count! Ouch!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think that's more than the daily recommended =X
ReplyDeleteD-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
ReplyDeleteIm a Chicagoan of 52 years...I tried a Sonic Chicago Dog...OUTSTANDING I SAY!!
ReplyDeleteThis hot dog was awesome!! I've always been just the ketchup and mustard type and chili cheese dog. it was my first time trying something new. And Sonics Chicago hot dog is delicious!!
ReplyDeleteyo i want to eat this. like right now
ReplyDeleteAte the Chicago dog today.They should call it the salad dog because where is the Beef?
ReplyDeleteKetchup? What are you, a commie? :-)
ReplyDeleteThis hot dog is fabulous. I ate mine without the bun and only have the relish to cut the carb content. I have had it several times with or without the bun and the flavors sparkle in your mouth! Like eating a firecracker.....love, love, love the salty, crunchy, sweet and warmness of this hotdog!
ReplyDeleteReally love the new dogs, best thing to happen at Sonic in a long time.
ReplyDeleteI have had a few real chicago dogs, and this is a good value, and pretty good!! I love them
ReplyDeleteAs a native of Chicago, I can tell you that Ketchup is a "dirty word" when it comes to hot dogs. Many places in the city don't even stock the condiment. As far as Sonic's Chicago Dog goes, it's pretty darn close to the real thing but not quite the same. If you want the real deal...try Portillos or The Wieners Circle if you're ever up that way. Being temporarily stuck in KS, the Sonic version will do for now:-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't pickle AND relish redundant?
ReplyDeleteA little, but my pickle spear went mysteriously missing so I couldn't tell you how much a difference it would make.
ReplyDeleteYou have never had a chicago dog and you are reviewing food? wow.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine there are many people who haven't had a chicago dog and review food... he was honest about it, so what's your point?
ReplyDeleteNot everyone happens to live in Chicago, you know. I'd never even heard of a Chicago dog before this review.
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to believe, a "Chicago Dog" is known the world over. You can find them in London, France, etc. They're as common as fries and cookies.
