Gold Coast Dogs at Taste of Chicago © Prescott Carlson

Of course Taste of Chicago would not be complete without a sampling of one of our most famous delicacies, the hot dog. While I must say I'm rather partial to Murphy's Red Hots, Gold Coast Dogs certainly does the Chicago hot dog justice. But seriously, don't go with their "Taste Portion" -- only having half of a Chicago hot dog is an insult that comes in a close second to adding ketchup.
