The grenades are from an avant grade food critic who is letting the establishment know that they are “Da Bomb”. Basically a Michelin star.

Saw two roaches and a rat crawling from the owner’s pocket. Two black snakes.

I’m a Gene and Jude’s fan for hot dogs, and I always take them home for the reasons you list. HOWEVER, because of this, I keep a few plastic grocery bags in the glovebox since the soaked through grease will ruin your leather seats…

Was I the only person who'd never gotten it? It seemed like everyone else was ordering hot dogs that afternoon.

I love this, thanks! I’ve driven by this place a hundred times but somehow have never stopped. Will fix that very soon!

Also, the “veggie dog” seems like a Chicago variant of the British “chip butty”, which is apparently a thing you can get at fish and chips shops when you don’t want fish - chips stuffed in a bun. I like that you can still get all the hot dog toppings.
