Superdawg: Restaurant 40; Fun Fact 38


How great is it that our 40th restaurant is the fabulous Superdawg?! Located at the northern edge of the city on Milwaukee, Nagel, and Devon, this drive-in / walk-up stand features enormous Chicago style hot dogs and greasy accordian fries. Susan occasionally visited this place as a kid, so it was only fitting that we stopped in on the way to visit her aunt's grave a few weeks ago. Kate highly recommends the cheeseburger, while Susan stuck with the traditional Chicago dog. Fun fact: those weiners at the top of the building are representations of Maurie and Flo, who opened Superdawg in 1948 after Maurie came home from the war and married Flo, his high school sweetheart.
