This is a lie. Nothing good comes from Chicago.
 
why are they arguing between New york City and Chicago? Everyone knows that the best pizza comes from Estherville, IA.
 
Last time I was in Chicago for PittCon, they asked if I wanted ketchup on my hotdog.
 
The best hot dogs in the world are found at Dallas Hot Weiners in Kingston, NY.

Pretty much any Sabrett's hot dog stand in New York City ties for second-best.

Ted's Chargrilled Hot Dogs. In Buffalo, NY and Tempe, AZ. Sabretts, flown in to Phoenix daily. (At least that's how it was in 1986 when I discovered Teds.) I went back in 2008 and it was still very, very good.

Looks like soup on a bun. But what would NYers know about hot dogs, they can't even get pizza right. :D
 
I like Chicago dog's, but I also like dirty water dogs with mustard and kraut from NYC.
 
Damn I'm old.

I was one of the first through the door when Doug opened his original place down the block from my apartment. He closed down when there was a fire in the flat upstairs.

The owners of "Wrigleyville Dogs" were my next door neighbors on the near north shore.

I was there most of those newer joints, sans Jimmy's, Wolfy's, SuperDawg and the original Portillo's opened. Byron's and Hot Doug's and Wiener's Circle were in my neighborhood.

Nothing like seeing joints that you saw open being called legendary neighborhood establishments. Tell dose kids to get offa my lawn.

I was there when the developer coined the term "Wrigleyville" to name the rec-converted apartment building that was a rooming house where old friends of my Mom's managed.

Members of the Jury, this statement alone you proves beyond any reasonable doubt that the so-called "Huffington Post" is a worthless, biased, collection of fiction essays posing as "News."

You must find the defendant guilty of all charges based on the evidence before you today.

That is all, your honor.

Ah you must never have actually had real Chicago pizza. If you had you would know it is not filled with sauce. The pie is filled with cheese and ingredients and then topped with a thin layer of sauce.

Look, Scott, NYC in general, and Brooklyn in particular, has the best pizza in the world. Everyone knows that. Even Chicagoan Michelle Obama admits it -- and she only had Grimaldi's, which is very good, but not the best.

The absolute best pizza in the world is Lenny's at Prospect and Fifth in Brooklyn. Luigi's is second, on Fifth between 20th and 21st Streets. The present owner Giovanni's Dad Luigi used to work for Lenny, so the pizzeria's pedigree is undisputed.

Forget hot dogs. Italian sausages are best.

Yep case clsoed. Exhibit A wins. Exhibit B lookslike something that came out of a Red Barron Frozen Pizza box.

I find it funny that New York style is a poor recreation of real Napolini pizza yet some think it is good even though it fails to use fresh ingredients and real dough, instead substituting old bagel left over dough.

The only claim to fame for NY style pizza is that the people who eat it can fold it. Bizarre. I have never heard that the defining characteristic of a food item is not how it tastes but how one can carry it.

The only reason I can fathom why NY style pizza lovers like to fold their pizza is that they might just be sickened by the sloppy plastic cheese look it has. When one thinks of bad pizza it seems that it always NY style. Just look at Dominos as a prime example of that.

Really what is so special about something like this:

We fold the pizza because we're always on the go. Try eating a Chicago pizza on the street during your lunch break, while talking on a cell phone. Can't be done!

Folding pizza is one of the things that makes us a productive city. It's good for the economy and, in fact, is instrumental to economic recovery.

So NYers have to distract themselves from the awful experience of eating the cheese bread they call pizza?

That is so sad.

In Chicago at the good pizza shops we wait in line and then when we order the pie is custom built for us and can take up to 40 minutes to cook in wonderful wood ovens. Pizza is an experience to be shared enjoyed. No wonder NYers are always annoyed about something. They can't get good pizza or hot dogs! :cornut:
