AdvertisementBy Chicago TribuneSep 14, 2020 at 10:20 amBack in early March, when the realities of the coronavirus pandemic were just starting to become apparent, I was in the middle of updating a list of where to eat lunch in the Loop. One place I couldn’t wait to add was U.B. Dogs (185 N. Franklin St.), a stellar hot dog joint that had recently reopened after shutting down in 2018. Along with serving a flawless fully loaded Chicago hot dog, the shop dished out freshly grilled burgers and great fries.But with the coronavirus pandemic forcing more people to work from home, U.B. Dogs decided it was time to close for good. Owner Joe Plonka announced the decision on Facebook: “While it breaks our hearts to announce our permanent closure, we wanted to take the time and properly thank our customers and family for their support over these last 10 years.

Plus, the list of great non-chain restaurants in the Loop grows even shorter.This also unfortunately leaves Max’s Take Out (20 E. Adams St.) as one of the last places in the Loop to score a great Chicago dog. I drove by Max’s over the weekend, and was thrilled to find it still open. If you have a hankering for a fully loaded Chicago dog, maybe try to give it some of your business while you can.Advertisement Advertisement
