The Scene
The fire that shut down this restaurant in mid-2004 seems only to have made the place more popular, as Hot Doug's is thriving in its new location a half-mile west of the original. Not much has changed; the sunny yellow walls are still covered with kitschy wiener paraphernalia, and owner Doug Sohn has maintained his cheerful, sarcastic demeanor, joking with customers and shilling Hot Doug's CDs while taking orders at the counter.
The Food
Sohn's love of encased meats makes for an adventurous menu, from the classic Chicago-style dog to the Jennifer Garner (a ''mighty hot'' fire dog), the Elvis (Polish sausage), and weekly game sausages like rabbit, venison and rattlesnake. Sohn shows off his culinary-school chops with the daily-changing ''celebrity sausage.'' One recent favorite, the Wazmo Nariz, tops tasty mushroom-Asiago sausage with blue cheese dijonnaise and sauteed shiitake mushrooms. Brilliant--and even better alongside an order of duck-fat french fries.
