Not many people are clamoring to open new hot dog stands. The restaurant business is tough, and hot dogs aren't high profit earners. Developers prefer maximizing profits through different types of establishments in high real estate price areas.
Duk's Red Hots, a classic Chicago hot dog spot, closed after seven decades. However, its revival by Modern Relish with veggie options, liquor license, and delivery services showcasing a revamped menu on LED screens indicates a potential resurrection.
New owners of Duk's aim to open more locations, introducing breakfast options and expanding the menu to include liquor like boozy milkshakes and beer. The revamped interiors maintain the iconic Vienna Beef sign and color scheme inspired by Chicago's relish.
Despite the decline in traditional hot dog stands, the revival of Duk's with modern adaptations and expanded offerings suggests a potential resurgence in the classic Chicago street food scene.
