Handclap to the ORD skyclub catering team
You’ve really outdone yourself. I can’t imagine a more luxurious experience than constructing a “Chicago style” Sysco econo hot-dog among the hordes in this overcrowded club. This may be a petty rant but I just can’t belive a skyclub is serving hotdogs.
I guess you can’t thin the herd with good food.

Wow.. kind of a cheap dig. Many of the SkyClubs have local food choices, Skyline Chili dogs in CVG, Brats in MKE, Asian inspired dishes in SFO such as Pho. It is a nice local touch and above and beyond the standard fare that is in all SkyClubs, 2 soups, chicken salad veggies and salad spread. I look forward to these types of offerings and thoroughly enjoyed my Chicago dog today at the ORD SkyClub.

There are better Chicago-themed options. I also highly doubt the pan-warmed limp hot dogs are anything like an actual Chicago Street dog. I decided to avoid such an experience.
I’m happy you enjoyed yours, though. Whatever floats your boat.

Definitely not associated with Delta. Just a frequent traveler that appreciates the local touches at certain SkyClubs. Just outside the SkyClub there is a Chicago style walkup counter with deep dish Chicago style pizzas and Chicago dogs...... given my Chicago dog was free and tasted just as good, I am a happy customer. Now, I would prefer the Skybar in ORD so I can order some better wines.....

I want to apologize that you were forced to stay in the SkyClub against your will. Despite all of the dining options throughout O'Hare you were held captive in the lounge. No human should ever have to deal with that. It's not exactly a high budget dining experience...what were you expecting?
I’m not expecting anything amazing - but “this ain’t it”.
I had thought Delta was trying to make an effort in the sky clubs to try to compete with AA or UA. Clearly not.

Seriously. I switched from DL to UA this year, and the pervasive soup, salad, and cheese cubes that seem to be the only thing you can find in UA clubs is getting old in a hurry...

I don't mind hot dogs now and then either - haven't had at ORD but did have the Nathan's @ LGA during baseball season.
I don't expect (or get) gourmet, but it is much easier to get a 'meal' at a club today than it was a few years ago.
Flyertalk - so YMMV.
N.B. According to my spreadsheet I've been in a Skyclub right around 100 times this year which is why I get tired of the same-old-same-old.

It’s actually an all beef Chicago dog, and sorry if our local fare doesn’t appeal.
My only complaint about the hot dogs in the ORD clubs is the relish on offer. The type they have is not the typical Chicago style.

(Yes, that was a joke. And for all I know they DO have ketchup.)
