Chicago's take on the classic bacon-wrapped, deep-fried danger dog is called Francheezie - an all-beef hot dog split down the middle, and filled with either American cheese, Cheddar, or Velveeta; before being deep-fried.

Just like the classic Chicago-style hot dog, Francheezie is also served in a poppy seed bun. Alternatively, the cheese can be added as a topping after frying, while other toppings include yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, dill pickle spears, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers and a dash of celery salt.
