Polish Sausage
Review of Restaurant:
I choose this place because of the Yelp reviews. It is different from the other hot dogs in Toronto. I enjoyed it, although the pepper almost killed me, it was spicy. No bad washroom experience.

There is no inspection report in Chicago, what a shame.

VERDICT: JerJai's Seal of Approval

Review of Restaurant:
I don't think that eating 4 hot dogs in a day is healthy. I did walk for like 4 hours earlier that day so I have some quota to fill.

This is cheaper than Kim and Carlo's Hot Dog Stand. The place was packed and is the McDonald's of hot dogs. I would definitely recommend this place.

VERDICT: No washroom mishap so it has my seal of approval.
