I see these type of threads popping up for other areas, but no so much for Chicagoland.
When the driving season starts it would be great to have these considering we certainly have enough Starbucks around.

Count me in on that

I don't drink coffee, but I wouldn't let a little thing like that stop me from showing up.

 

[Moto44]

I'm in!

 

[biscoradio]

I say we do a cars and sausage - meet up at hot dougs on a saturday morning (Hot Doug's)... There's angled parking across the street. Cars and coffee sounds west coast. Cars and sausage? pure Chicago.

 

[RacyTracy]

Encased meat emporium...... rotfl

 

[JWA]

I'd come down for something like that. There are hot-rod and muscle car nights in each town around here (Racine at the McDonalds on Wednesdays, Kenosha at the Wendy's on Thursdays, Gurnee at the McDonalds on Fridays, etc.) but it would be cool to have one for sports cars and exotics.

I'd be up for it!

 

[creafish]

Dpo we do it on a Saturday for the duck fat fries?

 

[ML1media]

What's the name of that Hotdog joint on Milw ave (near Harlem or Austin ?)that has 'scheduled' car nights on Sat every once in a while and impromtu gathers of all kinds of unique rides every weekend?

I'm in....when I'm in (around).

 

[RacyTracy]

Superdawg?

 

[JimK]

Yep.

I tried for a few years (well with the Lotus crowd specifically):

Thankfully I did get to meet quite a few of our local characters this way

Ahhhh but do you know Abe Froeman?

Abe Froeman, the sausage king of Chicago.

Ahhhh but do you know Abe Froeman?

I hear he likes to eat at Chez Quis and tends to wear a sweater vest.

And yes I'm down for "meats"

If California has coffee meets, it seems fitting that Chicago meets for beer and dogs.

I just looked at the menu for Hot Doug's and I want to go there Alot this would make a good lunch stop on a drive or we could just all meat there and have a couple of EMT's on hand for the eventual heart attacks.

Hot Doug's is a great spot. I try to get there about once a week. The biggest killer is the line - it can literally take over an hour to get in the door on a saturday afternoon. If we meet up there early Saturday, like opening time, I think we'd be okay. It was on Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations on the travel channel the other night - I did not see it, but it is repeated Monday morning. I'll post some pics of my sausage later.
