Let's Be Frank

One of the benefits of spending more time in the Bucktown neighborhood with the bike shop is the the opportunity to have a real Chicago hot dog whenever you want.  JR's Red Hots serves a classic, dragged through the garden, Vienna beef dog with excellent french fries.  During the busy summer season they are open until midnight daily and 24 hours on the weekend, but has slightly less hours other times of the year.  I got a hankering for (another) hot dog after seeing a Wiener mobile on Kinzie Ave yesterday.  The hot dog shaped vehicle has been around for 83 years and there are six vehicles that currently drive across the U.S. by volunteers.  They do not serve hot dogs so JR's is still the best place for a frankfurter.  Hold the ketchup!
