Gus-better than your fries??? I find that hard to believe. If they are better than yours, those must be some really tasty fries!

Buddy

for some reason my reply didn’t show up.

Anyway..yea those fries were outstanding and i have my theory on why. Our fries do come close though but not quite as good.

Update and correction……………

I spoke with Gene & Jude’s today. They’re opening a second location in Addison in the fall and the original will not be closing.

These are still my favorite dogs in Chicago, but I have found some better fries at Michael’s Beef House in Oak Park, just outside of Chicago. Their fresh-cut fries are crunchy on the outside, and almost mashed-potatoey on the inside. The beefs are OK, Johnnie’s down the street are better.

CSD…where is your cart??? I would love to stop by for some GOOd food….j

We were there a month ago (me and my wife) from Denver. We grew up there and the dogs are still great at G&J’s. We got off the plane at O’Hare and headed doen River Road right there!~

I agree. There’s nothing better than a "dynamite stick" from G&J’s. When I was a kid, Lippy’s Red Hot Ranch aka "The Ranch," 3114 W.Devon, served Vienna Beef natural casing hot dogs with a handful of fries, just like Gene & Jude’s. It was short bike ride from my home on Kedvale & Lincoln.

CSD

Jane and Michael, I can’t believe you were within 15 minutes of my home and office and you didn’t even give me a call! Ah well, maybe next time.

Buddy

with out a doubt the best hot dog and fry combo in chicagoland and suburbs, growing up in skokie and having a dozen vienna stands around all specializing in something of their own but for dogs and fry combo it was a trip out to river rd. if we had a place like that in the palm bchs of florida it would make a mint

Those are some mouth watering fries by the looks of it!

We finally did make it toGene & Jude’s … and, of course, loved it!

Did the Dead Heads inspire this name? Also, those new Viennas, are those 8/1’s or 10/1’s??

Also eagerly awaiting your Monday Report there! Good Luck!!!!!!!

We were back in Chicago a week ago for vacation and drove by Gene and Judes on River Road. They are still there and the parking lot was full (as it used to be) at lunchtime. We would have stopped but we were on our way to Russels by North Avenue to meet up with some relatives for a famous BBQ’d Pork Sandwich. Still fantastic!

Other stops included Portillo’s for a "Combo" and some dogs and tamales. We ate our way thru Chicago again and then to Michigan for som good ribs at Sam’s Joint near Plainwell. Another favorite stop. The wine fest in Paw Paw was a "must" and then the Allegan County Fair for more great treats.

Nothing like the good eating in the Midwest.
