Weiners Up, Wiener Schnitzel Down!
Chicago's venerable Berghoff's will be closing next month. Which saddens the editors slightly, but if there's one thing Milwaukee has always beat Chicago at, it's German food. OK, two things: since Chicagofest turned into Taste of Chicago, Summerfest gets the nod.
The editors took the day off to check out another famous Chicago eatery: Murphy's Red Hots on Belmont. And damn, they make a fine dog -- these were the freshest toppings we've ever put on a charbroiled Vienna Beef dog. And the fresh-cut french fries were stupendous. The only downside is that the place is small, in the heart of gentrified yuppieville, and pricey (the above cost over $7).
Monz must have figured that somebody had to eat healthy in Chicagoland: footlong turkey on wheat, hot peppers, no mayo, with a crisp and refreshing Diet Sprite.
