HOT DOUG'S: The Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium




This place was featured this week on Bourdain's tour of Chicago. The Chicago Dog with yellow mustard, radiant-green relish, tomato, pickle spear, and celery salt ($1.75) made me drool. Then it was on to the sweetheart pictured above . . . the Cognac-Infused Pheasant Sausage with Blackberry Mustard, Foie Gras Mousse and Sel Gris ($8).

Just when I thought this noshing Nirvana couldn't get more Nirvana-ish (as Drew would say), the Whopper With Cheese was laid down . . . Fridays and Saturdays, patrons of The Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium are treated to french fries fried in rendered duck fat ($3.50).

Goodness GRACIOUS!
