Jeff's Red Hots: where "everything" includes sauerkraut

eating while walking wrote:Hot dog "with everything" not only had the pickle, relish, onion, pepper and tomato, it also had a big forkful of sauerkraut layered on top. i wasn't expecting it to be as delicious as it was. The natural casing dog was nestled in the steamed bun with just enough of every topping to form a well-balanced sandwich, and the kraut added its own savory acidity to the other pickled ingredients.

Those who enjoy crunchy shredded vegetables on their frankfurters should consider a kelpdog at Ivy's in Edgebrook.



Actually they call it a Japanese Dog—it comes with teriyaki sauce, wasabi mayonnaise, seaweed salad and pickled ginger (Hey, it sounds Japanese. Let's toss it on!). The bright green color should gladden the hearts of those who relish massive doses of food coloring.

Thanks for the report on Jeff's, a place I'd wondered about too.
