"What are you doing for Thanksgiving?" I have been asking myself this question since late summer as I sort through my work calendar, restaurant openings, and vacation schedules. My family asks too, and my friends remind me of their standing invites. I'm still not quite sure as I write this letter.

The Chicago Dog Deep-Dish will be available for 30 days and is only offered in the small size. The pie starts with layers of mozzarella, canned plum tomatoes, and diced tomatoes - but no ketchup, of course - before being topped with slices of Portillo's hot dogs, sport peppers, pickles, white onions, and celery salt. The dough is infused with poppy seeds, akin to a hot dog bun, and after it comes out of the oven, the pizza is finished with green relish and drizzles of yellow mustard.
