  • This week on Dining on a Dime, host Lucas Peterson heads to the Near West Side of Chicago to sample one of Chi-Town’s most famous, iconic street foods: the Maxwell Street Polish sausage. Jim’s Original, established in 1939, sells the meal 24 hours a day.

Very good

    Lucas is a fantastic host, keep up the good work! Knowledgable with his own personality, but not over the top or outlandish like certain tv food show hosts we may see. It's all about mutual appreciation of good food at the end of the day. Just a matter of time before he gets his own show imo...judging by the many comments here I would imagine this is the general consensus.

    @mitchgawlik1175 5 років тому

    I used to hit the original corner, generally later in the evening. The major pain in the rear was constantly being accosted by the street
    vendors pushing socks and videos. I don't have that happening after the move, nothing else has changed, at least to me. Jim's is
    like a beacon in the night pulling people in, and I like that. I like the feeling of being able to pull in and hang out. I guess I'm glad
    there's no inside seating. I'm also glad that Lucas didn't rave about these being the best dogs in the city. He explained what he felt
    about them instead of just saying "These are Chicago's best hot dogs, bar none". The polish with mustard and onions is right on,
    and this is the way fries should be served at every dog stand. I swear, someday I'm gonna try the pork chop.

Everyone would appreciate being able to see him more often than Nick "I won't even eat that because it's over cooked" "I hate ketchup on my burgers" Solares. I'm sure Nick is a nice guy but Lucas has a much more lovable personality. To those over at Eater, I hope you all see this!

    • @evelyntobias8081
      @evelyntobias8081 Рік тому

      That is actually grilled onions on the polish. I can't believe he didn't mention them. That is what really makes the polish. That smell of those onions will stick on all your clothes. My girlfriend once went there and she said even the baby smell like the polish. LOL. All over the city you will see people try to imitate those grilled onions but honestly I have never seen anyone be able to do it. If you ever come to Chicago, you must go to Jim's. It's right near downtown so it's pretty central to anywhere you visit here.
