Josh, while I’ll don’t agree with your #1 rating, I was still very impressed with your work and attention to detail. Having lived in Chicago and GR, I feel we have similar backgrounds. I’d rate as follows:
1. The Grand Coney (Perfect Detroit Style Coney)
2. Chicago’s Deep Dish & Dogs (all the right toppings, just need more. Pile it on!)
3. Yesterdog (Ax the Ketchup!)
Dog Pit I haven’t been there yet but am eager to check it out.

I just discovered this vlog and it is awesome! One of my favorites. I should start my own one of these days.
Anyway, I just had a question regarding hot-dogs and your hometown Chicago. What is the best hot-dog place in Chicago? I am going to the windy city next month and your video made me hungry. I am French and there are NO good hotdogs over here in France, none!

Canada has next to no hotdog culture, other than the weenie at the campfire or backyard barbeque.

When I was living in Los Angeles, I was really blown away when I saw hot dog franchises advertising on the television and billboards.

It never occurred to me that it could be a popular fast food.

I almost thought that you were going to say: “Yesterdog was the Big Weiner!”

Oh well, next time.

the problem is that I’m in the fifteenth gruiling hour of my annual new years eve resolution to not eat hot dogs, and now I’m doomed … must eat hot dog!

You seem to be on the road a lot. I was thinking it would save on gas if you could vlog multiple chronicles (if you haven’t done it already). Say have a hotdog in Bavaria saved on footage, then go see a winery, and then someplace else. Keep it real. I enjoyed the installment on hiking and Thanksgiving by the way. Happy New Year.

oh man I remember Yesterdog. That place was so dang good. I need to come to GR to visit you and get some dogs. P.S. you could do a comparison of some of the dogs in the chicagoland area and see how they compare with yesterdog.

Yesterdog! Been there! One of my favorite areas of GR. But it’s been years

Josh, I don’t even LIKE hotdogs & I’m craving a Yesterdog. The footage of the fully loaded dogs veiled in steam was just beautiful. Hope all’s well with you & you’ll be home in Chicago for Christmas and a real Chi-town dog.

Hey Josh…

I just watched a clip from some Motion Graphics Chicago conference, encouraging people to videoblog. It featured a snappy little video about how “we are the media” and how this is a revolution. And maybe it is…

I’m concerned though, because there were very few people of color, certainly no black folks, in that video? I wonder if your revolution is just affluent and mostly white?

I would PM you, but I couldn’t find any contact on your blog.
