No. 65: The Uptown Bulldog's Chicago dog
Of the three Bulldogs in the Twin Cities, the Uptown location gets the least love. Sure, the other hot spots are more posh, while the Lyndale Avenue bar feels a little more neighborhoody. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. The Chicago dog, for example, is worth an order. It's a loaded dog that will make you long for summer, when the Bulldog's caged outdoor seating is filled with tables rather than heating lamps. Choose from a meat or spicy veggie dog; it will arrive topped with mustard, neon-green relish, chopped onions, tomatoes, sport peppers, and a pickle spear. With this dog there is a guarantee that a portion of the toppings will land on your lap or in the basket, but it's worth the embarrassment.
