Viva Chicago Hot Dogs on Miramar (5 minutes away.) Same buns, same hot dogs (Vienna signs everywhere.) They have awesome Italian beef sandwiches, and everything is cheaper and way FASTER. My biggest gripe with Chicago on a Bun was how long it took to make a hot dog. I'd watch people order cooked sandwiches after me, then get theirs before my two Chicago dogs we're "made".<br />Viva Chicago Hot Dogs is in a ghetto strip mall, but that's not something that bother's me.sudopeoplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16963535990887165625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-22599821738199376322008-02-28T09:49:00.000-08:002008-02-28T09:49:00.000-08:00I have and, yeah, they're a bit too heavy.

Delicate, not too eggy, still pliant enough to fold.<BR/><BR/>The owner of La Creperie, who's from France, told my mom that he couldn't find flour milled fine enough for a truly Parisian texture. Well, I suspect that he <I>could</I>, but that kind of flour doesn't come cheap and he'd have to raise prices to a point where people wouldn't buy.Meandering Eatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09097335795952132823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774592860931279963.post-90089133604604078412008-02-28T09:14:00.000-08:002008-02-28T09:14:00.000-08:00Have you been to La Creperie on 30th in North Park...Have you been to La Creperie on 30th in North Park?

It is a popular chain in Chicago and surprisingly they opened a restaurant in CA. They definitely don't skimp on toppings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
