Fratellos Hot Dogs - Lakemoor

We decided to get a hot dog at Fratellos in Lakemoor, IL - right where US Highway 12 and IL 120 (Belvidere Rd.) intersect.  This time we got it smothered in cheese. :)

Portillo's - Naperville (Ogden)

Well, in my research, I've found that there are two Portillo's in Naperville.  This one is the one on Ogden Ave.  This one had a style of the '20s, which was a touch more refined and a nice change of pace from all the Bootlegger or gangster decor of the others (not that that's bad, but they seem to have a lot done that way).

I actually got lost here.  As my owner was taking off his jacket, I popped out of his pocket and end up on a chair at a different table from where he was sitting.  It was confusing for us both.  Perhaps that happened because it was Friday the 13th?

That is, in fact, a hot dog.  Suprised?

Maxwell's Hot Dogs - West Dundee

Mmmm, another hot dog.  They're good.  Maxwell's is named after the Maxwell Street Market.  Seeing this is a travel blog and not a history blog, I'll just link you to the Wikipedia page - in case you're interested. (on another note, given the right circumstances I will delve into history on this blog - but seeing I was not actually at Maxwell St., but rather just a place named after it... well, you get it)

Do you see the moon?

Portillo's - Niles, IL

Portillo's.  This one is in Niles, IL.  This time we had hot dogs!  It was St. Patrick's Day.  It was decorated in bootleggers style once again.  Not much else to say about this one.

Portillo's #9 for Ollie!

Look, an airplane!
