The Best Restaurants In Little Italy And University Village - Chicago - The Infatuation

"This iconic counter-service hot dog stand opened in 1939 and claims to have created the original Maxwell Street polish, which we choose to believe because of how tasty their all-beef version topped with grilled onions is. There’s no actual seating, but a hot dog or burger at Jim’s Original is still satisfying whether you’re eating at the standing counters on the side or trying to avoid spilling mustard all over your dashboard. And if the line is long, you can always try for a hot dog next door at the equally iconic Express Grill." - veda kilaru, adrian kane
