If you really want to please your taste buds while in Chicago, head over to the nearest Home Depot for a boiled, not grilled, Wagyu beef Chicago-style hot dog you’ll never forget.
During the Great Depression, hot dog vendors in Chicago sold the cheap sausages topped with assorted veggies, offering people a complete and nutritious meal for about a nickel.
Home Depot’s Chicago-style dogs carry the traditional toppings of Depression dogs. Costing about $8 or $10 a piece, they're one of the cheapest and tastiest meals sold in Chicago.
As for finding them, there are nearly two dozen Home Depots in the Windy City that feature a Fixin' Franks, the hot dog chain behind the fantastic frankfurter.
