Luke's Italian Beef - Loop

Hot Dogs in the Loop

So, my quest for the best Hot Dog continues and Luke's is a convenient lunch stop for me at work.  On Jackson just east of Franklin, Luke's is a popular stop and it gets packed at noon, so go early or late!  

The dogs are average, the wiener was over cooked and a bit bland, the onions had that rancid taste like they sat around for a while.  Everything else was just about average.  For the price tag, I think you could bo better, but the problem is that in my part of the Loop, there aren't a ton of Dog Shops.  

Granted the Fries are really good and come in a huge portion, the other items on the menu make Luke's a great place to go.  Just not the dogs.  I would usually get the beef or some pizza!  So I recommend it for everything else, but if you are a huge Hot Dog fan like I am, this may not be the place to go for a dog.  

Eastern Style Pizza

Philly Steak Grinder

Yes, I eat out a lot.  Im single, no kids and I don't cook for my dog, so I go out to eat, often.  Tonight, the cupboard was bare, so I head out to a local Rogers Park favorite for a quick grinder.  

The Eastern Style Pizza Philly Steak Grinder was on my mind.  It is a pretty good sandwich in a fix.  I do like Philly's Best a little better, but Eastern Style is close to home.  Skirt steak, white American cheese, onion and some good bread.  

Compliment the 12 inch Philly with some great steak fries and it makes a good dinner.  There isn't too much more to say, it is a good meal and the FOOD BILL, $11.00 with the tax.  I totally recommend this place to fill a growling stomach on a week night in a pinch.  Parky is easy on the street and the family that runs it are pretty cool too!
