London has Big Ben, Paris has the Eiffel Tower, but on Chicago's Northwest Side, there is a landmark everyone knows and loves.
The iconic hotdog stand with the two giant sausage statues on the roof was started by a couple of college kids in 1948, and now, it’s still being run by their family.
Days before they opened, they installed the now-iconic 12-foot tall papier-mâché and fiberglass hotdog statues with blinking red eyes. Superdawg uses its own recipe for the hotdog and bun, which are placed on a warm bed of fries inside a tidy rectangular box. It’s a serving style that generations of customers have come to love.
"It's wonderful today at lunch to be able to see a lot of them have come out already to congratulate us, wish us well and tell us, ‘Hey, we want you here for another 75,’" Don said.
