HOT DOGS V. TACOS

Chicago Tribune

Let's have some proof of that. (Not saying it couldn't happen.)

Hard to find data. This is all I could find in brief research:

CHICAGO — As the Chicago area’s Mexican community has grown, so too has the variety of Mexican fare at the city’s restaurants. Looking at regional dishes on local menus is often a best indicator of where Mexican immigrants hail from. Still, through a Web site operated by the Institute of Mexicans Abroad, we learned that Michoacan, Guerrero, Puebla, Veracruz, Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Aguascalientes, the State of Mexico and Oaxaca all contribute a high percentage of their emigrants to Chicago.

^the site that references is in Spanish and not very well laid out.

To more directly address the thread question: hot dogs are fucking nasty, and who cares if you put ketchup of mustard or relish or the precious sweaty dewdrops from the breasts of the Goddess of Pork and Beef Byproducts on it, hot dogs are still just nasty. New York style... some other style... shove it in your hole and then shut it because what just went in there is totally disgusting.

Also, Chicago-style pizza isn't pizza and should be disqualified entirely, thus ending the debate.

^^^^^^^

Real talk.

Also in Chicago, while I didn't get deep-dish pizza, I went to Crust. It was no Motorino.

I would also like to apply for the job of collecting the sweaty dew drops from the breasts of the Goddess of Pork and Beef Byproducts.

you realize that's K-Lo, right

shit...too long for screen name

agghhh goddammit dan

Btw my dad has been making hot dog tacos for like forever.

Cut up hot dog
Fry it up
Put in tortilla

So there's that

the best non-chicago style pizza i've had was still in chicago

Hey maybe we can decide which city has the best pizza by figuring out which has the largest number of Italians, that seems like it would be accurate

After all, everyone knows Italians make the best pizza.

Not true. In my experience, Mexicans make the best pizza.

polish dudes make the best tacos imo

mexicans make the best sushi

fuck we're all Americans, right?

One Nation, under a donut

in reservoir dogs, mr white didn't say, "i'm hungry. let's get a hot dog."

Yeah, I think NYC wins for most Italians.

"wins"

pizza?...now THAT'S a taco!

pittsburgh in top five?

hey nick stfu

other nick

most pizza in nyc made by mexicans.

most food in nyc made by mexicans.

but the best pizza in nyc is still made by a guy named Dominic.

lots of tacos made by ecuadorians though.

if you hate hot dogs, you hate america so gtfo.

I used to live somewhere with very few local food options (thanks, Satmars!) and so I was reduced to ordering ziti from a pizza place run by Mexicans. It was pretty much inedible unless you were actually starving. I mean, the pizza wasn't going to win any awards, either, but terrible ziti is REALLY BAD.

i've lived in texas, california, chicago, and new york, and i prefer great tacos to great hot dogs. hot dogs vs. hamburgers would be a better poll, and harder to pick between.

great thread. wish i could read the whole thing. highlight was someone calling people who prefer tacos a "cumdad".

Laurel, after college I will probably never eat baked ziti again. SCARD 4 LYFE.

So amazingly otm. I'd never even dealt with the possibility before I moved to a big city with a lot of hole-in-the-wall food places, but never eat food from a place that serves two kinds of ethnic cuisine. Pizza, for these purposes, counts as ethnic. Do not eat pizza from a place that also serves Mexican food, or Mexican food from a place that also serves Chinese food, or Thai food from a place that also serves pizza, or bagels from a place with Chinese characters on the awning, or tamales from a place that also serves fried chicken, and if you eat pizza from a place that also serves Mexican food and is run by Chinese people, you should be ashamed of yourself for making your parents fly up to visit you in the hospital.

ha there's a new restaurant here - which i haven't been to yet - that is like a burger/bar food place BUT it also has a sushi menu!

i keep looking at their menu and the WTF gets larger and larger font in my head every time.

I've seen a few Thai/sushi combos that seem to be all right.

^common sense. don't piss in the wind either. though I did once get food from an Indian/Italian fusion place just cause it was so wtf and I was curious.
xps

sister goes to combo sushi/tapas place in DEKALB. very brave.

xp It was common sense that I didn't have! You learn.

omg this is on the menu;

katherine's kobe hot dawg
delicate kobe beef topped with zesty banana peppers, onions, tomato and dill pickle. $10.99

this seemed relavent to this thread...that's an expensive hot dog...should i go there and eat it and report back?

there's a place in mpls called Chin DIAN that's a chinese/indian fusion place....

once i ordered a bloody mary at a mexican restaurant and i swear to god it was tequila and chunky salsa

tacos >>> hot dogs

but
burritos >>>>>>>>>>>>>> tacos

but somehow hot dogs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> burritos

IT IS A MOEBIUS STRIP OF FLAVOR

u mad. xp

The Nasty Conundrum, scientists call it

There's also the Rajun Cajun in Chicago, which, as its name suggests, is Indian/Cajun.

(Never been there, though.)

Yeah, please do! I don't know if it counts as a hot dog, but it sounds kind of great.

omg i just flipped the page of the burger/sushi place with the 11 dollar taco and guess what they have? a who taco menu HA! everybody come visit and we'll all go out to eat at this place together.

i meant 11 dollar hot dog
