If I recall, there were two versions being bandied about: a north/northwest side version that would include Superdawg and Gene N Judes and then at the tiki bar up the street, and a late night city version that would end up at Jim's Original and then Wieners Circle at about 3am for chocolate shakes with the immortal MrFurious vandalizing blort's sports car.

Has anyone ever had the Chocolate Cake Shake at Portillos (they drop a slice of chocolate cake in and blend it into the shake)? Yuck. A real consistency problem there.

Unfortunately the most FlyerTalk fun said car got to have was being showered with mixed nuts from above while sitting in front of the Park Hyatt. That and a Ferris Bueller valet-style jaunt with fredmartens riding shotgun and mumbling something about bearings in the transmission. Some guy in Phoenix gets to worry about the bearings now, I sold that car over a year ago.
Anyway, a hot dog crawl does sound incredibly tasty, and something I'd definitely make all attempts to attend. I'll keep watching the thread.
Oh, and I've been renting Audis from Hertz at ORD. I'll make sure to get a Ford Festiva or equivalent for that particular trip so as not to unnecessarily restrain the creative juices of MrFurious.
