Fat Johnnie’s Famous Red Hots
When the great Anthony Bourdain visited Chicago’s Fat Johnnie’s Famous Red Hots on “No Reservations,” he pronounced the Mother-in-Law “wrong in so many ways,” starting with its name. This dish, supposedly so-called because it, too, may give you heartburn, is a Chicago corn roll tamale in a hot dog bun, dressed with chili, tomato slices and pickle. And mustard, if you want to go nuts. (David Hammond)
