My husband and I took my parents (from Vegas) on a HOT DOG TREK. Thought it would be fun to visit Chicago's best since they're always saying how much they miss Chicago Food. We visited 7 hot dog joints, all on several top 10 lists. We were all in total agreement that fRredhots & Fries was on the very top of our list. \r
\r
The Dogs were fantastic. We all had ordered a Chicago Style Dog with Fries. (Mustard, Onion, tomato, celery salt, bright green relish and a pickle). As we waited for our food, Fred came out to talk to us. I have NEVER been anywhere where the owner has cared SOOOO much about serving such quality food. Fred made sure we all had the dipping sauce of our choice for our fries, that our dog was done perfectly to our liking.\r
\r
We inquired about his sign (best tasting beef guaranteed) and we got an in depth description about his beef and his Debris Gravy Po Boy - which he makes fresh, himself.\r
\r
We had such an amazing visit, we just had to go back, and try some of his specialties. Fred mentioned his December Special, Reindeer Meat Hotdog, and of course, after that whole discussion, we just had to go back for the beef! We brought with us 10 other people to try our new favorite find.\r
\r
Can I just say WOW. I ordered the Reindeer Meat Hotdog, with mustard and Grilled Onion and my husband ordered the Big fRed Italian Beef. We split an order of Garlic Frites (Fries). We were in heaven. I can't get over how amazing this dog was, and although I'm not usually a fan of the beef sandwich, that was the absolute biggest, wettest (by request) beef and best tasting I've ever tried. My husband loved it so much, he was debating ordering another sandwich. \r
\r
Everyone that came with us was extremely pleased with their meals as well. \r
\r
Fred, not only is your customer service (you and your staff) outstanding, but we admire your pledge to a quality meal. We will be seeing a lot more of you! \r

Pros: You actually get what you pay for, and then some!
Cons: We're not the only ones who know about it, it's packed in there!!!!
