Jim's Original Polish

When people ask where to go to eat like a Chicagoan, I always steer them toward Jim’s Original. While living in the city, few things satisfied me, like their Polish sausages, especially late at night. The perfectly cooked sausage, soft hot dog roll, zing of mustard, and light sweetness of the caramelized onions (and the hot pepper, if you’re brave) hit just right–every time. Jim’s is more than just a food stand. It’s an important part of Chicago’s culture. Whether I was grabbing something on the go during the day or making a pit stop after hours, it never missed. It’s simple food, but always worth the stop.
