Jim's Original – American
The air around this iconic open-air stand is thick with the sweet, savory perfume of onions caramelizing on a flat-top grill that never seems to cool. Diners gather under the neon glow to bite into snap-casing Polish sausages and bone-in pork chop sandwiches piled high with mustard and spicy sport peppers, offering a gritty and glorious tribute to Chicago’s street-food soul.
