August 29, 201214 yr 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%

August 29, 201214 yr (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.
August 29, 201214 yr (Man...what I'd give to have a good place around Cincy to get a Chicago-style dog...) Amen
August 29, 201214 yr (Man...what I'd give to have a good place around Cincy to get a Chicago-style dog...) Me too, and an Italian Beef.
August 29, 201214 yr 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. While Sonic doesn't suck. It's not the same as a good Vienna Beef skin on Chicago dog.
August 29, 201214 yr (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.
August 29, 201214 yr Author How is that even possible? Here in Louisville I've got two within 10-15 minutes of my house. Trust me, I ask myself that question REGULARLY.
August 29, 201214 yr How is that even possible? Here in Louisville I've got two within 10-15 minutes of my house. Vienna Beef? 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.
August 29, 201214 yr Vienna Beef? 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. 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.

August 29, 201214 yr 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.
