After taking a nearly year-long hiatus, Lightfoot returned to the media circuit this week with DNC analysis on CBS Chicago. The former mayor, who chose an unorthodox smorgasbord for her Super Bowl spread in 2019, prefers a 'modified Chicago-style' dog. 'Brown mustard, dill pickle slices, tomatoes, sport peppers, and celery salt,' Lightfoot says, 'Sometimes also giardiniera instead of the sport peppers. But sometimes if the hot dog is really good and grilled right, just a dog in a bun.'
Jaime Harrison, the DNC chair, kept his restaurant plans under wraps but his spokespeople tell us he's a slaw dog fan. Harrison tops his dog off with chili, coleslaw, relish, ketchup, mustard, and onions.
The 28-year-old self-described 'straight lesbian comedian' and Daily Show correspondent has a soft spot for Roost Chicken & Biscuits with locations in River West and Wrigleyville. 'I was living in Chicago when the pandemic hit and on the news they started talking about how we were going to go into lockdown,' she says. 'My roommate Andrew and I turned to each other like 'We need to order The Roost NOW.' So we did and that was the last thing I ate before I started wiping down my groceries.'
During the DNC, Kuhlenschmidt will return to her old favorite and order the House-Style fried chicken sandwich with chees.
