Red Hot


Small Changes Add Up
If 10,000 Chicago Biters switch from gas to pure biodiesel, in a year we'll avert the amount of CO2 caused by 5,846 Hummers during the same period of time.

Cocktail Tidbit
The world's biggest hot dog was 1,996 ft long, created by the Sara Lee Corp. in honor of the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

What do hot dogs and stripper poles have in common? Not a helluva lot except you’ll find both at Dion Antic’s new West Town hot dog eatery Rockstar Dogs. Besides the autographed guitars, photos of musicians, and rock-star hours (open until 4 a.m. for the hammered, hungry, and pole-ready), it’s got 18 different dogs named after famous bands and rockers. How about a ft-long Tommy Lee or chili cheese-masked KISS dog? Or our fave: the psychedelic Flaming Lip (cheddar and grilled jalapeño). RD gets eco-points for a delivery car that runs on biodiesel straight from the kitchen’s French fry fryer, recycled napkins, low-VOC paint, and zero Styrofoam. Hot diggity dog.

Wanna Try?
Rockstar Dogs, 801 N. Ashland Ave., b/t Chicago Ave. and Fry St. (312-421-2DOG). The Flaming Lip dog, including fries and soda, $7.
