Fixin' Franks Brings Gourmet Hot Dogs to Home Depot

Chicago's hot dog scene is as iconic as its deep-dish pizza. One of the best-kept secrets in this culinary landscape can be found at Home Depot, where Fixin' Franks operates out of 17 locations.

The chain offers a gourmet Wagyu beef 'steak dog' for $10 or a standard hot dog that's carefully constructed to fit all the garnishes into the bun. Their regular version is a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

But Fixin' Franks isn't the only standout in Chicago's hot dog scene. Fatso's Last Stand offers char dogs cooked over charcoal, while Red Hot Ranch serves Depression Dogs with extra snappy sausages that are perfect for those who like a little heat. The Wiener's Circle is also worth mentioning, not just for its standard Vienna Beef hot dogs but also for the experience of being served by foul-mouthed attendants.
