I worked at Gina's when i was a freshman in high school, 1978. Frank the owner was the greatest....Looks like his son Ralph is running the show now. All the best........
I used to walk home from school. Didn't spend my money at the school lunches, just went straight to Gina's, cheap enough to get a dog for myself and my friend. This commercial takes me back. I'll get one right now actually. Also their italian ice is the best, lemon. They make the lemon flavor in house, not sure about the other flavors because I've never tried them. I've never had a better hot dog in my life. The owner is such a sweetheart as well.
growing up in Elmwood Park 50s-60s, we went to Johnnies for italian beef, and we went to Gene&Judes for THEE best Vienna Beef hotdogs anywhere....PERIOD
Step 1: Be hungry Step 2: Watch like all of the Chicagos Best Videos Step 3: Roll up in a corner and cry like a baby because you life in germany and cant eat all that awesomeness shown here.
Mukiwa Banda I’m going to challenge that statement and say sometimes frat dinner is better than a grade a steak. It’s how you feel at the time. Bratwurst is not the same as these end trails treats.
I'm a 58 yr old Irishman hillbilly from rural Kentucky & even we know not to put ketchup on a hotdog, lol, you might put it on fries, hashbrowns, etc...that is about all
My understanding is that ketchup overpowers the flavor of the beef frank while mustard compliments it. It seems to be a 'rule' on the Northside more then the Southside.
That is usually the case but if you use the simply Heinz ketchup that doesn’t have high fructose corn syrup and sweetened with can sugar instead is a lot more tame. Compliments the all beef dog well because HFCS is a lot more sweet than sugar and it makes sense cause even the sweet relish that contains it is overly sweet.
@@tfries72 that’s a great point. So maybe the argument against ketchup isn’t that it overpowers but that it’s redundant. The pickle and sport peppers have the vinegary taste, the tomatoes provide the acidic tang, and the relish gives you the sweetness; no ketchup necessary?
@@jordanarseneau5752 I would agree I do not ever put ketchup on a chicago dog either traditional or depression style because it gives you everything you need already. For my own dogs at home though I usually use the simply kethup, mustard, hot giardiniera relish and onion which gives me everything I need and the kethup is not overpowering in that instance i can still taste everything.
Sam Gearhart I am in the same boat as you, I have never understood the whole no Ketchup on a Hot Dog thing either. I mean does it remind people of having blood on a Hot Dog, sorry if I am grossing people out. I mean it is okay that they are eating all this other stuff, but no to ketchup. If you are having all the other stuff, why not have ketchup on it as well, I mean can you even taste the ketchup when you have all the other stuff on it? Can somebody please finally end the whole freaking mystery. I just feel like a kid in a grownup's body.
I'm from Chicago and I don't always get Chicago dog which should never have ketchup but I do like having normal hotdogs with ketchup, mustard and pickle spear
Hate hearing that crap u ain’t from Chicago if you put ketchup damn I’m paying for it and I like it it’s like putting marinara sauce in it lol oh it’s not Italian get out of here you from the CHI that’s all that matters we are all different n if you don’t like it man good luck there’s a lot of us like this
It's crazy !!! Love ketchup on my fries and scrambled eggs Absolutely grosses me out on a hot dog Ketchup or Catsup as some people call DOES NOT BELONG ON A HOT DOG END OF STORY
Try Portillo's if you get a chance. Now that they've been bought out I suspect the new owners will expand to more of the country. As to whether they maintain the same standards we don't know yet.
No poppy Seed bun No steamed bun No pickle wedge No tomato wedge No season salt No steamed hot dog rue classic Chicago hot dog, and a bad representation of such FAIL!
It's called a depression dog, and it pre-dates Vienna's commercialization of the concept. You're a fool, they even say it is depression style, AND you can see them taking the buns out of the steamer. Fuck you, internet person.

Look at the ingredients used, go to store, get the items or next best thing, go home and make hotdogs.
sorry but german " hot dogs " at least the sausages are better
German sausages might be the best in the world, but I still wouldn’t recommend to eat your meat this way

Gina's Pepper and Eggs Sandwich is Old School and delicious. Something new for most people, try it.
we went to Johnnies in Elmwood Park, they offered pepper and egg sandwiches on Fridays, back then being Catholic we couldn't eat meat on Fridays....
