J’s Beef Chicago Style Italian Beef and Sausage

I love hot dogs, and whenever I hear about a new hot dog place, I’m all over it. Two weeks ago a new joint opened up in Linden, specializing in a very rare form of dog on the East Coast — the Chicago Dog. Its distinguished by the fact it uses Vienna Beef wieners made in Chicago, on a poppyseed bun, and adorned with a really bright green relish, fresh tomato, pickle slice, hot peppers called “Sport Peppers”, yellow Chicago mustard, and then finally a dusting of Celery Salt. It has to be tried at least once — I like them simply for the interesting variation. Much like sex, you can’t have your hot dogs the same way every time.
J’s also specializes in another Chicago treat, the Italian Beef, which is popularized in many places in the Windy City like Mr. Beef and Scala’s. Essentially, its much like a French Dip Au Jus sandwich, or a New Orleans-style debris, where the beef is cooked in its own juices enhanced with broth and served “wet”. It’s fantastic.
