00:00Look at this, they have a basketball court with no hoop.
00:03Yeah, they took it down for Covid.
00:04They took it down for Covid? That's a shame, they just need to put it back.
00:07Take me out for some hot dogs.
00:11Loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo, loo.
00:19Yes, that's right, I am here in lulus, a Chicago landmark since 1968.
00:28They are a top-notch hot dog place.
00:30They've been put in the Vienna Beef Hall of Fame.
00:33And, well, we're here to see a tourniquet
00:36for my Hall of Fame.
00:38As I go raw-dogging here at Lulu's here in Chicago,
00:42you know, Chicago,
00:45you really are the land of the hot dog.
00:47♪♪
00:57♪♪
01:07♪♪
01:17Lulu's has been here on the corner of Taylor,
01:21Ogden, and Leavitt since 1968.
01:26They are very colorful.
01:30And it's named after the comic, I believe, the Lulu comic.
01:35But we're gonna see just how good these hot dogs are
01:38in the Vienna Beef Hall of Fame.
01:41But will they be a mine?
01:43Well, let's find out.
01:45First off, the bun-to-dog ratio is good.
01:47I like the coloring of the hot dog.
01:50Bun is warm.
01:53But let's see how it actually tastes.
01:55♪♪
02:05♪♪
02:15♪♪
02:20The bun tastes a little stale.
02:23The hot dog tastes like it's been sitting around
02:25for a while.
02:27♪♪
02:32This is just basically an average hot dog.
02:36I'm gonna give this hot dog a seeing-eye single.
02:39♪♪
02:46Now for the chili dog.
02:48First thing I noticed is they used sliced cheese.
02:51Then they put the beans in the chili.
02:56Well, let's see how that worked out for them.
02:58♪♪
03:08Mm-mm-mm!
03:10♪♪
03:13This tastes like canned chili.
03:16No zing, no zest.
03:19Just lying there.
03:22Add that to a mediocre hot dog
03:25and beans and slices
03:27and a very sloppy-looking chili.
03:31Yeah.
03:32You're out of there.
03:35And these fries look a little ghostly.
03:40I mean, I hear them actually going zoinks.
03:46Let's see how these fries taste.
03:48♪♪
03:57Boo! Look at this.
03:59Mm-hmm.
04:01Your French fries should not do this.
04:03♪♪
04:07This is a flaccid fry.
04:114.2.
04:13Those guys behind me would be ashamed.
04:19Yeah! They're afraid.
04:25All right.
04:26You know, I don't know.
04:29This place felt kind of sad to me.
04:32You have a court where they remove your hoops
04:36during COVID and haven't brought them back.
04:38This looks like a place that once was great,
04:42but there's nobody in there.
04:44And I've been to Chicago places, and they're hopping.
04:48Service was slow, and, well,
04:52the dogs tasted like they've been sitting around a while.
04:55With all the hot dog places here,
04:57this is in the Hall of Fame.
04:59Well, it's in my Hall of Shame.
05:02And it's appropriate.
05:03Loo.
05:04You know, that's what they call the toilet in England.
05:07The loo.
05:09And this place, I highly don't recommend it.
05:14But if you know any place that's better,
05:15leave a comment down below,
05:17because you never know what I'm going to show.
05:19See you down the road, and I hope someone fixes this place,
05:22because it's got a great feel to it inside.
05:26They just got to fix this place up,
05:27bring back the good dogs,
05:29maybe find a way to spark
05:32what might have been a great place at one time.
05:34It looks like it's good in there,
05:36but it just feels like it's flown on hard times.
05:39Kind of like the bears.
05:42See you down the road.
05:46What the hell's your problem?
