I got a hot dog here at Wrigley and I forgot to take a picture of it. So here’s some video that’s a bit out of context but that contains footage of the wiener in question:

Pretty excellent hot dog, actually. I was unimpressed with the ballpark food the last time I was here and have always heard it was nothing special — which is pretty much understood when you’re at an old park like this one.

But the hot dog itself was tasty and sweet, not sweet like “sweet, man,” but actually sweet to the taste. Which, I guess, is why the guy said I shouldn’t put ketchup on it. Plus I liked the customizable nature of the thing, with the relish and hot peppers and all.

I liked the poppy-seed bun, too, though it was a touch chewier than I would have liked. Obviously you can’t expect the Shack-ago Dog from every hot dog you try in actual Chicago, but this was a decent estimation, especially considering it came at a rusty old ballpark.

I imagine I’ll do better when I get to The Wiener’s Circle everyone keeps raving about.
