    Another three-parter. Guess the Chicago Hot Dog Stand. As always within each picture is a particular clue, within 'em all is another.

    198A looks like Gene & Jude's . . . I see the french fry cutter.

    Gene & Judes does not offer all those toppings for dogs, they're a Depression style stand. No ice cream either.
    For what we choose is what we are. He should not miss this second opportunity to re-create himself with food. Jim Crace "The Devil's Larder"

    I think they're of three different places. There also may be a restraining order against me identifying #3.

    Yes, they are three different places. 198A is not Gene & Jude's—their potato cutter isn't mounted on a red board. That looks like 35th Street Red Hots. I have no idea what 198B is. The red-framed street window in 198C is Johnny O's at 35th & Morgan.

    I was thinking Nicky's on 47th until you posted this. My guess would be all three are related (all on 35th, or in that same general vicinity).

    Thanks for pointing that out. 198B is Morrie O'Malley's, also on 35th Street.

    Their fry cutter is mounted right of the fryers by the sinks.
    GOOD TIMES!

    and Check B.

    Yep not a bad mile long stretch for hot dog stands in the city. I will one day get you on an oldtime Southside institution in GTR.
