Gold Coast Dogs was there in late October of 2019, as I had one of their dogs for lunch while I was waiting for the Texas Eagle to take me to the Gathering. I suspect they were a casualty of the reduced foot traffic through the station due to Covid.

The Shake Shacks around here have all been Closed, but I've never had their Dogs, I did enjoy their Burgers and Shakes.At this point the best Chicago Dawgs can probably gotten at Shake Shack.. a NY based chain.. or maybe that's the safest choice for visitors, might take more investigation for local options.
We have a Portillo's in Normal for all the homesick USI students from Chicago. Not sure if anyone outside of the Chicago area knows that Portillo's is known for the best Chicago style hot dogs.The Shake Shacks around here have all been Closed, but I've never had their Dogs, I did enjoy their Burgers and Shakes.
Chicago is Full of Dog Stands. ( of course Locals know the Locations and have their favorites)
I haven't been in Chicago since 2019 due to the Pandemic but plan to return this year if conditions continue to improve.
Hopefully some Windy City Members will post some good joints for we visitors that like Chicago Style Dogs.
Thanks Betty, I'll have to check them out next time I come North to Chicagoland!We have a Portillo's in Normal for all the homesick USI students from Chicago. Not sure if anyone outside of the Chicago area knows that Portillo's is known for the best Chicago style hot dogs.

I am not an expert, but I gather one can "manipulate" share prices? I believe all you have to do is eat quite a lot of their hot dogs, I am sure you would soon recover that lost $17...Thank goodness I only bought one share because that share is now worth about $24.
Let me know when, Jim. I'll meet you at the station.Thanks Betty, I'll have to check them out next time I come North to Chicagoland!
Anyone tried these guys, who kindly posed so I could grab a little local vibe into my photos!

I enjoy a Pizanos thin crust pizza one night and a good hot dog/fries for lunch next day from an old place called Mister J's. Both places have good food.

Took me a while too, but it's Ohio just west of Fairbanks. That hot dog stand has been gone for years.I’ve been trying to figure out for a few days now, where is that? The building (background, not hot dog stand) gives me a Gold Coast/Old Town sort of vibe, but for the life of me I cant place where that is.

Nope, haven't been there. Probably very busy at lunch (although not like it would have been in the before times). It's been a very mild winter here - it's already 50 at 8 am.Looks like there's a new contemporary Italian place across the street in the 320 So. Canal Building, called Canal Street Market and Eatery. Very good reviews so far on Yelp & Google. I might like to try their Bolognese on a lunchtime layover in March.
Anybody been there yet? I'm wondering whether there's a passageway from the station, or will I have to go outside in the weather?
