Fun in the Bun


Superdawg
I always meant to stop by Al's Fun in the Bun. It was just another of the many hot dog joints here in Chicago, with a silly name and a neat sign out in front, like Fluky's, or Superdawg, quirky fast food architecture from the 1960s & 70s. The eyecatching thing was the sign, a tall plastic and metal flat icon of a grilling fork holding a huge red Vienna beef hot dog high as proud emblem. But I never got a photo, don't know if I ever even ate there. Now its space is occupied by a plain Chinese restaurant.

So before missing a chance to see these other signs and places, here are some other favorite city graphics in Chicago:
