Fatso’s Last Stand is
a "somewhat" fast food restaurant that can also be found on the outskirts of
Chicago.
When it comes to
hot-dogs, Chicago is the place you want to be.
For those who may not know, the traditional Chicago dog includes an all-beef frank placed on a
poppy seed bun, with a lot of toppings such as, white onions, bright green
sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices, pickled peppers, and
lastly yellow mustard.
Out of the many, many, places in Chicago you can find a
great hot dog we wound up at Fatso’s.
Not only does Fatso’s
offer great hot-dogs, they have their own spin on hamburgers. The burger is
famously named “The Fatso Burger” and we couldn’t leave without trying both.
When ordering you’ll also notice that all of their hot-dogs
are served Chicago style, but you can add or remove all the toppings that you
would like. Fatso’s has a few different types of hot-dogs to pick from in terms
of the meat and styles. One option is called the “Char Dog” and that is an all-beef
hot dog that has been charred rather than steamed.
I ordered the regular Char Dog with fries.
As mentioned earlier it came in the Chicago style with all
of the usual glorious toppings.
The hot-dog itself was great. I love when they are charred, and
it was perfect for me. When cooking at home I usually make mine a little more “burnt”,
or crispy, while using the grill.
As for the “Fatso Burger” it was pretty simple. It kind of
reminded us of a whopper in terms of taste. It is also a charred burger, which
could be why we think of a whopper, it also features most of the same toppings.
The toppings on the Fatso burger are lettuce, onion, tomato, with ketchup and
mustard.
We enjoyed the burger and thought it was decent.
Now on to one of my favorite parts- the French fries.
The fries were different than most places. They are not your
typical frozen, fast food French fry; they seem to take on their own
personality. Super delicious, and definitely deep fried, you don’t want to miss
out on them!
So to wrap this
awesome place up, we just want to give a big thank you to Fatso’s Last Stand
and hope everyone can get a chance to try it!
~ Tasty
