Chicagoans know their hot dogs, so for National Hot Dog Day Wednesday, we've collected a list of some of the top-ranked spots to nab a Chicago-style dog.

This year's celebration includes Dog Haus, Nathan's, and Sonic.

If you're grilling at all this summer, hot dogs are basically mandatory. No matter if you swear by the classic Chicago style, top your dog with ketchup, mustard, relish, chopped white onions, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or sport peppers, or go with something more adventurous, you'll want to make sure you have plenty of napkins on hand.

Hot dogs are a summertime staple, and Americans eat a lot of them. In 2021, Americans purchased 350 million pounds of hot dogs from retail stores. That's a lot of hot dogs!
