Sun’s out, buns out — hot dog buns, that is. From community grillouts to baseball game brats, summer really is the season of the hot dog. That’s why we’ve rounded up six local spots to get your frank fix.

Chicago Beef & Dog Company | 5402 E. Washington St. | Get a taste of the windy city in at this locally-owned shop, which offers authentic Italian beef + Chicago dogs. Bonus: Event the beefiest combos ring in under $10.

A hot dog with grilled onions and a pickle spear on top.

Garcia’s Hot Dogs | 5102 E. 16 St. | The 100% recommend rating with 626 reviews on Facebook doesn't lie. Our fave here is the Famous Dorito Dog, which includes chili cheese, jalapeños, and a bag of Doritos on top, but you also can't go wrong with the classic street dog.

Nick’s Chili Parlor | 2621 Lafayette Rd. | Although known for its chili, the real gem at Nick’s is the hot dogs. It offers foot-long, jumbo, quarter-pounder, or regular-sized dogs topped with chili, homemade coleslaw, sauerkraut, and other classic condiments.

The Clubhouse | 1049 E. 54th St. | Pop off the Monon for an all-beef or vegan dog with fun topping options, plus other nostalgic treats like soft-serve ice cream, popcorn, and pretzels.

The Saint Shack | 250 S. Meridian St. | Night owls know this restaurant on the ground floor of The Patron Saint has some of the best gourmet dogs in town — many of which are bacon-wrapped.

Gliz-zs: A Hot Dog Shop | 2045 E. 46th St. | This bright, hip spot with a hot dog for every flavor profile has a second location coming soon. Based on how its brisket dog tastes, we're not at all surprised that it's thriving.
