In a town where you can find a great hot dog on practically every street corner, what sets Dave’s apart? At the city’s oldest hot dog stand, the seasoned experts who work in the kitchen know a thing or two about getting the link just right. The natural-casing dog comes simply dressed: mustard, sport peppers, and a pickle. You can add onions and relish to make it more of a full-fledged Chicago dog, but don’t: The minimalism lets the flavor of the red-hot shine. The fries served alongside are no slouch either. $4.95. 3422 W. Roosevelt Rd., Homan Square
