Have you read the best-selling travel book “1,000 Places to See Before You Die” ? The book contains a number of Chicago locations in its list, alongside such exotic destinations as the Taj Mahal, the Pyramids of Egypt, and the North Pole. Among the Chicago locations mentioned in the book are the Art Institute, Charlie Trotter’s, the Chicago Blues Festival, the Frank Lloyd Wright home in Oak Park …. and Superdawg.
The moment I landed in Chicago this afternoon, my sister and brother-in-law brought me to Superdawg just so I will have 999 places left to visit. The first thing that attracted me was the retro feel and look of their mascot. I felt like being brought back in time to the 50’s if one just ignore the modern looking cars. Are neon lights still being used these days?
Superdawg retains a 1950s style of ordering food. Customers pull their car up to one of the carports and order through a retro-looking metallic speaker box.
The orders are delivered to the car window by a carhop with a tray that hooks on to the car door. When finished eating, the customer flips a switch on the box and a carhop comes to take the tray back.
