Left last century . . . My first few meals when in town. 

Deep Dish from Lou's - sausage and mushroom

Portillo's hotdog, run in through the garden and don't let it come close to a ketchup container.

Sammy's beef with extra giardiniera

Bill's thin crust sausage, mushroom, onion, green pepper. Leftovers for breakfast, cold. 

I may be the only person in Texas history to eat healthier once they moved TO Texas. 

If I could bring back one hot dog stand, it would be Wally's (Central and Diversey). Leon's hot dogs, garden on a bun. Bowser Dog was a good alternative, but they closed as well. They were replaced by Auto Zone and townhouses, respectively.

Where is Sammy's? I'll have to check it out if accessible. Jay's ((Nagel & Montrose) and Bob-O's (Irving Park east of Cumberland) are my two go-tos. Mr. Beef on Harlem south of Irving was solid until they sold a couple of years ago.

Can't do deep dish or anything Lou's due to their sausage patty.

Way north in Round Lake. It's my mom's favorite.

Thanks.

Their owners there moved from their longtime Portage Park location I believe 10ish years ago. Our family would bring home Sammies for us kids, and Chinese Lings which was a few blocks west for occasional Saturday dinners.

Usually get their cheese burgers, but will try their beef the next trip.
