I had a craving for a hot dog that hit harder than a 2000s breakup songâbut the thought of braving Costco for one? Absolutely not. So I did what any desperate foodie would do: consulted the holy grail (Google) and stumbled on Just Hot Dogs Chicago Style. The name alone had me in a chokehold.

Good for a quick bite, I was a slightly disappointed with the smoothie, it was a little too light on flavor for me (but everyone's taste buds are different, I added banana and strawberry juice when I got home) and my husband complained the polish was a little rubbery, but he's a picky eater.
