It’s August, and that means we’re in the dog days of summer—the hot dog days. The August calendar reminds us to savor the season.
Superdawg is a classic Chicago hot dog stand. If you’re not familiar with with the North Side though, the twelve-foot hot dogs with glowing eyes on its roof might make you slam on your brakes! Pull in for an old school drive-in experience that dates back to 1948.
I hope you’re soaking in the sun this summer!
