Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 At just shy of twice as high a percentage of menu items that are hot dogs over the number two city, I can't imagine this is completely dominated by the fact that you can hardly drive four miles in any direction within the I-275 loop without coming across a chili parlor serving cheese coneys. America's 50 top hot dog cities Top 10 Ranked by percent of all menu items that are hot dogs 1 Cincinnati, Ohio 7.27% 2 Detroit, Mich. 3.70% 3 St. Louis, Mo. 3.02% 4 Memphis, Tenn. 1.98% 5 Oklahoma City, Okla. 1.74% 6 Columbus, Ohio 1.58% 7 Tulsa, Okla. 1.55% 8 Greensboro, N.C. 1.53% 9 Phoenix, Ariz. 1.42% 10 El Paso, Texas 1.41% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20/20Hindsight Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (Man...what I'd give to have a good place around Cincy to get a Chicago-style dog...) Sonic has a good selection. Not sure if they would meet your standard of quality though. I've had a couple in the past and thought they were pretty darn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldweatherfan Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (Man...what I'd give to have a good place around Cincy to get a Chicago-style dog...) Me too, and an Italian Beef. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getslow Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (Man...what I'd give to have a good place around Cincy to get a Chicago-style dog...) How is that even possible? Here in Louisville I've got two within 10-15 minutes of my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to The Come Back Inn. They have excellent food. The best Italian Beef sandwich this side of Chicago. But they don't do dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they don't do dogs. The Come Back Inn is great. But these are the two I was thinking of for dogs... On St. Matthews Avenue right next to Trinity High School is a small place called Lonnie's. It's owned by a family that came to Louisville right from the South Side. Serves Vienna Beef hot dogs, gyros, italian beef and other specialties. It's fantastic. Chicago Gyros is on Brownsboro Road in the Clifton neighborhood. It specializes more in the gyros than anything else, but also serves the stuff listed above. Don't like it near as much as the atmosphere at Lonnie's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucked when they shut the one down in the Highlands. And I second the Come Back Inn love... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getslow Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Lonnies is great. Sucked when they shut the one down in the Highlands. Yes it did. But that did open up the space that has since become The Holy Grale, which I very much enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother and his wife just moved into that area recently, so I'll have to check this place out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
