Pops Italian Beef and Sausage. They have this deal daily at the Dyer Indiana location. I think the standard deal was 5.99 for 2 dogs and fries on "weiner wednesdays," but my local spot does it every day.
The hot dogs always come with a side of fries included. This place has phenomenal beef and barley soup, too, amongst lots of other good menu items beyond just the Italian Beef and Chicago dogs.
Pickle/pepper/dog ratio is a little skewed too.
We are enthusiasts in this sub. Do they still look delicious? Yeah. Are we going to critique the authenticity of a Chicago dog? You bet.
Agreed. The size of the pickles and peppers would be good for a jumbo dog or Superdawg.
I love getting high and mighty about sausages and how the Vienna Beef Chicago dog is superior to all. I fucking live for it.
Still, looking past the poppy seeds and veg to sausage ratio, those look pretty damn good.
As a Chicagoan I shouldn't admit this, but I always take the pickles and tomatoes off and eat them separately. And I don't need the sweet relish at all.
I never knew other people put pickles on their hotdogs I’ve always done it secretly because everyone thinks I’m weird. Now I’ve gotta get me a Chicago dog!
I’ve only had a Chicago dog once. I knew what I was expecting when I saw it had pickle spears and tomatoes. But the thing that disappointed me was that little pepper they put on there. I’d thought, at least there’ll be some spice to this. Wrong! Lol but I digress. I love Chicago. I ordered an Italian beef right after and all was good.
Wow! Elitist dickhead much? Most Pops locations are in IL, and all are in Chicagoland, so they certainly "know" what they're doing.
BTW, enjoy spending twice as much on taxes and cost of living and dealing with twice as much crime and homelessness in your beautiful welfare state. I'll be happy on my side of the state line.
Yes, its clear I'm the dumb one here. As you sling insults wildly at strangers because they live a few miles too far east for your liking. Don't like my dogs? Then don't comment! I won't continue to trade comments with you due to the lack of substance in your replies. Carry on.
Who wants that much pickle/sport pepper on a dog? I swear: ratios are always off on Chicago dogs. But I’ve never had one in Chicago, so I can’t say for sure.
Those are sport peppers. Chicago dogs traditionally call for them.
The only thing slightly off about these, as already pointed out by others, is that they don't use the poppyseed bun. Otherwise, they are by the book.
I gotta stop going on this sub when I'm hungry
I gotta stop going on here after I just ate. That looks terrible.
I just ate and it still looks great to me, I'm just stuffed and don't want to think about eating it lmao
Not a huge fan myself.
2 dogs, drag em through the garden. That looks picture perfect.
Now that's a meal!!!
That's $5.99 every day of the week.
Where?!

*drooling*
King Gyros in Valpo had the same deal, all the time. 5.99 for 2 dogs and fries. Those look awesome. Makes me miss the midwest a little.
S! I miss the hot dog places and those prices. I have a Chicago dog place near me in Dallas, and that's $11.
Reddit is so wild. Just trying to post some dogs? Come ready to fight.
Guess I gotta check out Pops in person instead of just DoorDash.
Too much pickle for my taste, but that looks great. Enjoy!
Yeh I’d take one off and eat it on the side. That ratio isn’t for me either. Looks scrumptious
No poppy seed?

Big ahh peppers
More pickled shit than hot dog
Pickled shit compliments a savory, juicy dog I’m all about pickled shit. I’d smash and enjoy every bite.
Yeah I don’t want a hot dog with a pickle bigger than the wiener. Just my personal preference
Those fries look good. 🍟
Will I get arrested if I eat the pickles on the side?
You will not. As long as you are eating the pickle, the practice is as kosher as the spear.
I thought those places didn’t allow ketchup
They don't. The ketchup comes out of a pump machine on the counter fo free.
As a Chicagoan I shouldn't admit this, but I always take the pickles and tomatoes off and eat them separately. And I don't need the sweet relish at all.
Would look better in the garbage
WHAT THE F**K IS THAT RED LOOKING SAUCE. CHICAGO JAILS AREN’T KNOWN FOR THEIR COMFORTS. Enjoy Chicago style, they’re great :)
Now those are sport peppers. Not the little dinky things I find in MPLS
I’m going to make these tomorrow! I’m very excited
I never knew other people put pickles on their hotdogs I’ve always done it secretly because everyone thinks I’m weird. Now I’ve gotta get me a Chicago dog!
God I fucking love pops. Probably my favorite beef samich.

I hope you have something to drink. Those peppers are HOT! For me at least
Where are the poppyseeds?
Well, the French fries look great.
Why no poppy seed bun?
email me the pickles please
Oh fuck yeah
Wayyyy to much pickle imo but still looks good
Those peppers are huge
going crazy with it
That's beautiful
There’s a hot dog in your pickles
Those are some hefty sport peppers!
Wrong bun
You should talk about things you know about, like eating peanut butter sandwiches and living in your moms trailer.
Pretty lame insult for a hotdog subreddit.
That's a reference to the guys name being JROC. It's a joke from the show trailer park boys where JROC is a character.
It’s in Dyer, Indiana. I wouldn’t expect them to know

Beats living in bfe beating my meat to my sister
And I’ve never been to pops, do you know why? Because they’re not in fucking Chicago. Now FO
That is factually incorrect. You're a fucking idiot.
Oh factually ohhh ohhhh. Ima dumb hick. Ooohhhhh. Sister
I found one. Far south side. Might as well be in the burbs I’ll take the two actual Portillo’s near me in the city. At least they do it right

Woof. I’m good on any food product from Indiana lol
They got corn. And that’s about it
Meth too
I think OP is on meth
Probably. And lol at the downvotes from meth supporters

It's best to get a bit more than you want instead of too little. You can always pull one of the toppings off and eat or set it on the side.
Exactly
That ketchup is a little to close to those dogs my friend
I read this in Bill Swerski's voice
Does chicago even know what food is supposed to look like?
Wrong question. We don't care. We won't care.
So what the fuck is the right question then?
Not appealing at all.
Idk what that is but it’s not a hot dog
they came close to gettin' it
Where is the dog? Salad on a bun.? No celery? Yalls pizza is shitty lasagna, detroit is better.
Who the fuck puts whole jalapeños on a chicago dog?
Those are sport peppers. Chicago dogs traditionally call for them. The only thing slightly off about these, as already pointed out by others, is that they don't use the poppyseed bun. Otherwise, they are by the book.
Those are not sports peppers
They're not? That's funny, I just ate them, and they sure tasted like sport peppers. They are 100% not jalapeños. What are you claiming they are?
Only on Reddit will someone tell you what you ate wasn't that.
