Went to the Shedd Aquarium and the hotdog cart sits outside. I’ve never tried a Chicago style hotdog before. I’m a true D girl and love my coneys. It was cool they had non pork hot dogs so we had to try. I’m not a pickle fan at but the whole combination with the pickle, onions, tomatoes, mustard, relish, and peppers is AMAZING! That hot dog was good and I could have eaten another one lol!

Hot and delicious and pure Chicago, the perfect first stop on our tour of Chicago from South Bend. No ketchup on our dogs today! Kim and Carlo's was ready for us and will be ready for your large group too. Don't miss this view!

After hearing about Chicago style hot dogs, I had to give it a try. The hot dog was ok but not really to my liking. I'm not really a fan of the relish on the hot dog and having it with mustard. Definitely prefer my hot dogs with ketchup and cooked onion.

We visited the Shedd Aquarium in the morning and was looking for a lunch spot before hitting the Field museum. This hot dog stand is conveniently located right outside the Field museum. They claim they have the best hot dogs in Chicago. And I don't doubt them. Price is also very reasonable considering there is very little food options around (the cafes inside the museum were all closed due to covid). If you're visiting either the aquarium or the museum, definitely stop by here and decide for yourself if this place has the best hot dogs in Chicago.

It doesn’t get any better than this. A fantastic Chicago-style Hot Dog in an absolutely prime location. Visit one of the museums, grab a dog, and have a nice picnic on the water and enjoy the best view of the skyline in the whole city. This stall is run by kind people using very fresh ingredients in a spot where you’re at least a 20 minute walk from anything else. It’s an oasis, and I will be coming here as often as possible.

Little worried this would be touristy because only place to eat near aquarium and museum. It did not disappoint at all! Nice to eat a warm Chicago style hot dog

Fantastic Chicago style hot dogs! Great stop if you’re at the museums.

By coincidence, I came across to Kim and Carlo's when I was just sitting on a bench near by. I just decided to give it a try when I see a small queue of people buying hot dog. Now I'm back to İstanbul and this is one of the few things that I can't forget about my times in Chicago. It is really tasty and you should try it.

I wanted to try a Chicago dog before I left. People recommended this to me, so why not for a quick bite. The staff was nice and accommodating, and the dog was delicious.I enjoyed the peppers and relish on this Chicago dog. Typically I'm a chili cheese dog type, but I decided to try the local fav. You should give it a try. I found it to be delicious.It's also located by the museum and aquarium so it's very convenient if you plan on seeing the museum and such.Overall 5/5. Would highly recommend if you are in the area and feeling a hot dog.

What a relief to find glizzies after our morning at the Shedd Aquarium!! Friendly service, even gave me a hard time for asking for ketchup!! Chili Cheese Dog and a Chicago Dog had us feeling fine! Give them a try! It’s the real deal!! Plus, they serve Vienna Beef!!
