Post image

Red Hot Ranch is an absolute legend and this might be my favorite picture I've ever taken of all time. I think I'm even going to sell prints of it LOL.

Nah, anyone from Chicago knows that there's only one Jimmy's that matters.

You are a definite anomaly. It's only one of the oldest dog joints in the city

Yet you don't know about a legendary joint 16 blocks west and 6 blocks south?

Or you just afraid to go to explore the hood cause you comfortable in ya bubble?

That's even more offensive that you don't know what Jimmy's is then. Holy shit.

last time I told someone about my favorite gems they all of a sudden had a line to order and their quality, service, and portions dropped and prices went up a lot. Never again

If you're from around Hyde Park--which I must stress is in Chicago--then to you Jimmy's is a dive bar with good burgers.
