""North Wrigleyville"" is a real stretch for this ""unsavory"" location on Irving and Sheridan. Classic Chicago Greek guy and what might be his wife run the show. You inevitably ask yourself "" I wonder if they live together after slinging dogs all day"" could you imagine? Can't answer that one, did not want to ask. Their hook is Green Peppers and a mountain of chopped iceberg lettuce on top of the usual fixings ( electric green relish, sport peppers, celery salt...) Fresh thin cut fries were above average but flat soft drink was no good! Dirty beady-eyed pigeons starred me down on one of two grimmy red picnic tables as I tried to dine Alfresco-style outside. Thought I was in a Alfred Hitchcock movie from 1950 something, not pleasent. No way do you take out-of-town company here to experience a Chicago-style dog. Face the facts, it's all about the schtick, and the two super-dawg characters or the foul-mouthed ""gangsters"" at wiener circle are far more memorable. Sorry Byron, tasty dog, but your overrated.
