The Vienna Beef warehouse made a cameo in “The Bear,” next Wednesday is National Hot Dog Day, and we are entering peak cookout season. So we guess it’s time to finally talk about the Chicago-style hot dog. The City Cast Chicago team breaks down the Chicago dog’s origins, their favorite places to grab one, and if it deserves all the hype.

Spots mentioned:

Good News: The North Center Summer Music Series, Hyde Park’s Harper Court Music Series, and Deeply Rooted Summer Dance Intensive in Woodlawn
