Irving's for Red Hot Lovers

-In Chicago: Every Dog Has it's Day

This past National Hot Dog Day (July 22) I woke up to lots of hot dogs in my social media (Instagram) timeline so it made the question I ask myself every morning - What's for lunch? - an easy one. Especially when later that day I was driving by Irving's for Red Hot Lovers on an errand. Even though I went to school at nearby Loyola Academy I rarely went to Irving’s as Fullerton was my stop on the Red Line so Demon Dogs was my longtime hot dog stand and I stopped there damn near every day. That said Irving's used to have a location in Beverly that me and my cousins went to now and then.

 
Locals Favorite in Wilmette 
 
They’re in their 45th year at this here Wilmette location and that’s not by chance. The hot dogs are nice and snappy due to both the high quality natural casing wieners and the fact they don’t sit in the holders all day. They see a steady traffic of tradesmen and the suburbanites they fix stuff for. I kept simple even though the menu here offers more than just hot dogs and fries. The latter of which I had remembered being fresh cut but that's not the case. My memory of them serving Merkt's cheese however was spot on. I guess if anything can make some average frozen fries better it's a big heaping scoop of melted Merkt's cheddar. The dogs are dragged through the garden and everything is on point from the topping portioning to the poppy seed bun being steamed properly. I'm glad Irving's is still around. Not too many hot dog stands from my youth still are. A nice North Shore lunch option.

  1. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR.

  2. I was married at 32 and immediately tried to get pregnant. When I was unable to conceive I had blood tests for fertility and was told that I had an FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) of 54 and would not be able to have children. Even though the doctors knew that I had been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis since age 25, no one bothered to check my thyroid levels. my TSH was measured at .001. My Synthroid dosage was lowered. a friend advise me to contact a spiritualist who help with fertility with his medicine, i collected his contact and explain my situation to him he prepared for me a herbal medicine which i took as describe by him. became pregnant very quickly, I had a successful pregnancy.
