Behind the Scenes at Hot Doug's

[Photographs: Huge Galdones]

Last Saturday, ten of us descended upon Hot Doug's, devoured every single item on the menu, and walked away with a few favorites. Since then, we've been asked a few times what it was like for us to order the whole menu. "Absolutely crazy and insane" is the simple answer. But to get a real sense of what it was like, we decided to put together a behind the scenes view of the process.

Six of us happened to have cameras around our necks, but while most of those focused on the sausages, Huge Galdones was in charge of documenting the chaos. He did a great job. Next week we promise to get back to other non-Hot Doug's Chicago content, but here's our send off to the whole Hot Doug's adventure. Hope you enjoy it!
