Overview

Superdawg Drive-In has been serving its signature take on the Chicago-style hot dog since 1948. Founded by Maurie and Flaurie Berman, this authentic drive-in restaurant maintains its 1950s charm with carhop service and the iconic 12-foot hot dog mascots (named Maurie and Flaurie) perched on the roof. Unlike the traditional Chicago dog, Superdawg's version comes with pickled green tomatoes instead of fresh red ones and is served in a distinctive blue box. This family-owned establishment represents a piece of Chicago's culinary history and continues to draw crowds seeking an authentic taste of mid-century Americana.
