Redhot Ranch (also spelled Red Hot Ranch) is a three-location hot dog stand in Chicago, Illinois founded by Barry Nemerow and Jeff Greenfield, who also founded The Wieners Circle.[1] They opened 35th Street Red Hots in 2005 on the south side of Chicago a short walk from White Sox Park. [2]
The stand is famous for its limited approach to the Chicago-style hot dog, its toppings departing from tradition by including only mustard, onions, relish, sport peppers and fresh cut French fries placed on top, known as a Depression Dog.[3]
The duo opened two more locations in 2014 that served a double cheeseburger modeled on the In-N-Out Burger.[4] The burger has been highlighted by Chicago Tribune for the #2 french fries in the city, and #12 best cheeseburger in the city,[5] [6] the #3 hot dog in Chicago on Serious Eats, and the restaurant was a subject on Check, Please!, a television show dedicated to Chicago restaurants.[7] The menu is limited to hot dogs, hamburgers, french fries, fried shrimp, milkshakes, and a cod sandwich.[8]
