Joe is shutting down shop at the end of the year. One of the few places in the area using Merkts cheddar. If you are downtown, I recommend stopping by, he's a good guy.

_________________

He is a good guy although he's WAAAAY too upbeat for me in the morning. It's the Hot Doug Effect. I really don't need personality from my hot dog vendor. Joey was unfairly maligned by douchebag Neil Steinberg in You Were Never In Chicago. I recommend trying the Joey Dog. Also, his wife is very cute.

Then don't get a hot dog in the morning.

Sounds like Jorr was more interested in putting his dog in a bun than ordering one for himself.

How about just a crusty old Greek guy who hands me my fuckin' dog without a whole lotta chit-chat.

I can't imagine you walking into any establishment and not talking up the owner.....

Oh and is the Greek guy's wife cute?

I am with you. I enjoyed a Chicago dog from such a place last week. I just found it funny about the morning part.

It still surprises me that you cite Steinberg for anything.

Well, I think Neil is a good writer, but he's just such a pain in the ass. He was so butthurt that Harry Heftman retired that he had to take a shot at this kid in his book. It was bullshit and I told him so. Also, he's one of those guys that spews "correct" upper middle class liberal talking points like a wind-up toy. I don't want to be lectured on racism or values or "fairness" by rich guys who use their money to segregate themselves in Northbrook.

Neil Steinberg is such a burrito

I liked him when he used to have a weekly segment on Dahl's show making fun of that Tribune columnist who ended up involved in a sex scandal.

Joe has him pretty well defined.

Do you think coke is what causes Joey to be so fucking hyper every goddamn day?

I think it’s still pretty common for bar and restaurant owners.

That really sucks. Options for a hot dog in the Loop are practically nil.
