May 1948 saw the birth of a Chicago icon. The brainchild of Maurice (Maurie) and Florence (Flaurie) Berman, Superdawg was opened at the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue, Devon Avenue and Nagle Avenue in Chicago and has been drawing rave reviews and large crowds of diners ever since. Though you can’t get a signature Superdawg and a drink for 32¢ any more, you can still taste one of the most delicious culinary concepts ever. Using a secret recipe, Maurie and Flaurie created something entirely new and oh so yummy. Not a hotdog, not a frankfurter, not a red hot, the Superdawg is an all beef sausage based delicacy in a league of its own. Bathed in a savory electric green relish, mustard, and chopped white onions these Kosher Sinai 48 wieners (not the typical Vienna sausages found in the Chicagoland area) redefine great tasting summer treats that warm the stomach and spirit year round.
