White Castles and other late night craves. - Beyond Tiki

Fortunately(?), Chicago is a mecca for independantly owned all-night junk food joints. There are more awesome all night pizza joints, 24-7 greasy spoon diners, 'we never close' burrito stands, and legendary 4AM hot dog havens here than anywhere else I have been. For the uninitiated: a Chicago hot dog is a completely different animal than any you've ever been served anywhere else in the country, a unique entity and a must-try even for those that normally fear and loathe tubes of processed meat by product. Wiener's Circle, Hot Doug's, and Super Dawg are the big three.
