Chicago hot dog stand offers Rudolph redhotsPosted Dec 13th 2006 12:05PM by Joe DiStefanoFiled under: Midwest Cities, Spirit of Christmas, MeatA hot dog stand in a Chicago suburb has come up with a meaty way to celebrate Christmas: reindeer redhots. Fred Markoff, the owner of Redhots and Fries in Glenview, is known for serving up exotic meats, including smoked alligator and pork sausage. Markoff opted not to serve the $8 reindeer wiener Chicago-style with mustard, onion, sweet pickle and sport peppers. The only resemblance the reindeer redhot bears to a Chicago dog is its poppy seed bun. Everything else, including the toppings of mustard and grilled onions and the meat itself, is pure Alaska. Markoff gets the reindeer dogs from Alaska's Indian Valley Meats. Incidentally, the redhot isn't pure Rudolph. Reindeer meat is far too lean to produce a tasty dog, so the wiener also includes beef and pork. Despite the blend of meats, Markoff is considering putting a grape tomato on one end of the dog in what would amount to a most unusual display of Christmas spirit.
