    Chicago has a major influence on flavored foods of the Midwest. It’s the home of deep dish-style pizza and the Italian beef sandwich. It’s also the home of the famous frank known as the Chicago-style hot dog. Based on a Vienna all-beef frank, this distinguished dog is typically steamed and served in a warm poppy seed bun topped with mustard, sweet pickle relish, chopped onion, tomato wedges or slices, sport peppers, and a dill pickle spear, then finished off with a dash of celery salt
