Hot Doug's is one Chicago establishment you know will never disappoint. Whether the line be around the corner and down the block, the wait is worth every bite of encased meat brilliance. Changing up the specials on a weekly basis and offering crazy sausages like South African Boerwors, Hot Doug's outdoes himself every time. Go for the food, stay for the people (waiting in line) watching, and indulge in what I consider the utmost delicious form of gourmet encased meats I have ever had.
