Gene & Jude's

I visited Chicago for the first time and wanted to try the city's famous hot dog style. After an internet search, I narrowed my choices to Gene and Jude's double dog. Service was fast and pleasant. Workers take an order and make the order themselves, which was a nice touch. I did notice that the person helping us kept touching their mask. He had gloves on and maybe thought it was hygienic. Gloves or not, whatever material was on that mask might have ended up on my food because those same gloves were grabbing the food when he made it. Long story short, we went to my car to eat but decided not to eat the food. Maybe this isn't typical behavior and I just caught the outlier behavior, but what really convinced me not to eat the food was the food itself. The fries and bun were soggy and smashed together. It just wasn't appealing enough for me to forget the mask touching.

This spot is the best for Hot Dogs and Tamales on the West side. The flavor of their hotdogs taste just like the ones you get a baseball game. The fries they got too are really good. They have an army working behind the counter to keep the line moving. So your in and out within 5 minutes. Alot of people being there cause of how good the place is.

Hands down best hot dog I ever had to this day. G&J is def an experience, all they sell is hot dogs and tamales. No eating inside so once you get your food you just chill in your car and eat. Hot dog comes with a ton of fries. If you go during a busy time, expect a line outside the door.
