I love Gene and Jude's. I've been out of Chicago and living in lake county for almost 15 years now, but every time I visit my family in Chicago I have to stop at Gene and Jude's. These are the true Chicago hot dog's I grew up with. The hot dogs in my area were just no comparison.... no fresh cut fries, no natural casing..they don't know what a true hot dog should taste like. Recently, a buddy told me about a new place that opened up here...and he said they tasted just like Gene and Jude's. I didn't beleive him. After years of searching to have a good hot dog in my back yard...but I went, I tried it, and Wow....it's just like Gene and judes. The place is called Droopy's and it's in Winthrop Harbor on Sheridan Road. So for any of you in the far north suburbs, if you want a tast of home you should definetly check it out.
