Chili Dogs

[lrdudley]

Who has the best Chili Dogs in the Indianapolis area? Southside preferably, but will travel for a good dog. Only criteria is that it has to be an All Beef dog.

I'd weigh 400lbs if I lived 5 minutes from Nick's. I indulge (over eat) every time I go.

My favorite item to over eat, now you have made me hungry!

Waiting for somebody to claim Skyline Chili dogs are anything other than ****.

Well their chili is ****, so it stands to reason their chili dogs would be too. Well, maybe **** isn't the right word. It's thin and watery, so maybe diarrhea would be a better term for it.

Anyone like Portillo's?
I've only had one.

I like skyline chili dogs! Lol



That hot sauce. Delicious.



Kings island used to have a skyline chili in the park. Horrible idea. I filled up on beer and chili dogs then road roller coasters... didn’t throw up but it sure made me question my choice of lunch for a few hours.

I've never been. I looked over their menu online and didn't really see anything that interested me. Plus I've heard that their restaurant is really noisy and loud.

Chili Dog sidebar. I probably have mentioned this on here before. In the late 1980s there was a diner in Crawfordsville called Zach's Family restaurant. They had a chili dog special once a week that corresponded with my fraternity's chapter meeting. The owner's son was a member of the fraternity. He would go to the restaurant at closing and bring the leftover foil wrapped chili dogs back to the house. Usually a couple of grocery bags worth. It was a race to the kitchen after the meeting to grab free grub.

If ya like polish sausage, Portillo's Maxwell St. is decent with sauteed onions and cheese sauce.
As far as their other dogs, IMHO, they'll make a turd and that's about it.
It is noisy, they have a drive through and outside dining .......brrrrrr!

I'll take the Costco dog with soda for $1.50.
There's no chili (wish they would add the option, especially since they already serve chili), but with mustard and onion, it's a damn good dog. Just don't think about it being made from lips and sphincters, or the in and out.

BUT !!
Also My wife and myself make a Mean Chili Dog With Nathans dogs and Castleberry chili dog sauce , with mustard and onion served on a nice fresh bun

Surprised I haven’t seen any votes for the Coney Dogs at PT’s Showclub. Goes together like peanut butter and ladies….

Until they opened one in The Fort. Portillo's and Lou Mal's were the only two things that I missed after putting the People's Republic of Ill in my rear view mirror for good in 2012. But youse gotta get the Eye-talian cahmbo (beef/sausage).

If you ever find yourself in the Toledo area, check out Tony Packo's. It's not a true chili dog but a smoked Hungarian sausage with chili sauce. I add onions and mustard. Worth trying at least once in your lifetime. They sell their products in groceries too and you may be able to find them at Krogers.
