Dog day afternoon

A legendary, regional dish that has finally busted out of the confines of the Windy City and made its way to the Concrete Jungle. Step aside NYC slice, outta the way chopped cheese, I’m walkin' here bacon egg and cheese, because the Chicago dog is here to change the foodie landscape of Brooklyn one hungry person at a time.

What the Critics say

"Dog Day Afternoon is a lot like stopping by your neighbor's place for a bite, if your neighbor's place had a Ms. Pacman machine, a sick vintage record collection, and enough wit to name a hot dog joint after a classic heist movie that was shot in the neighborhood."

"With my first bite, I reveled in the symphony of flavors — and there are many— in this unapologetic icon of regionality. The sport peppers were pleasantly piquant, the celery salt wasn’t lacking, and that dog snapped with undeniable satisfaction."

Demand for Italian Beef Is Booming. Thank ‘The Bear.’ The FX series has fueled a spike in sales of the sandwich at Chicago-specialty restaurants across the country.

"Forming the centerpiece of its menu, Dog Day Afternoon's [Chicago Dog] is as authentic as any in the Windy City Itself."

"No matter how you take your hot dog—the right way, or some other non-Chicago-style way—you'll find something to enjoy at Dog Day Afternoon."

"The interior is decked out like some sort of nostalgia treasure hunt, with 1970s and '80s movie stills, posters, and head shots."

“Some people try to make their own beef broth,” Mr. Boyle said. “They say, ‘I’m going to make this a special sandwich.’ But it’s a working man’s sandwich. It’s straightforward. We try to keep it the same traditional way that it was.”
