Red Hot Ranch (RHR) was established by the two partners, who wanted to reintroduce the city to the original Chicago dog often referred to as the "Depression dog" – a minimalist hotdog served with mustard, relish onion, sport peppers, and fresh-cut fries. They also brought back long-forgotten techniques that ensured a better hot dog, like cooking in old-fashioned ceramic crocks and using natural casing that would snap and burst with flavor with each bite. The Chicago-style hot dogs are the real deal, paired with golden, old-style fresh-cut fries wrapped up in old-school wax paper.
