Caption contest!
Thursday, Jun 26, 2014 - Posted by Rich Miller
* From a reader…
A photo, in case you want a caption contest or a question of a day, from the Taste of Chicago preview held [yesterday] in the Daley Center.
I wondered how many multiples of the quoted price a “Mayor Daley ‘Tribute Dog’” finally costs when the overruns are done.
How many napkins do you need when you are done with the overruns?
How many unnecessary ingredients were hired to be on it?
Etc.

If you want it today you have to hire a nephew to order it for you.

Just out of frame there was someone screaming about why they didn’t off a Rahm and his billionaire friends dog..

The “Mayor Daley Tribute Dog”–all the ingredients necessary to fill a pot-hole and then some.

So, just wondering, did the alligator smoke before being turned into a sausage?
How does one infuse cheddar cheese?
Seriously, do they post the ingredients in that tribute dog? I wouldn’t touch it.

That line is as long as it should be.

Sale price on Tribute dogs. Seems like Chicagoans don’t have an appetite for a Daley Tribute Dog like they used to.

Does the Oswego Willy for Governor Crew have a Cannoli tent up there?

When you order it they instantly forget what goes on it.

To which Mayor Daley does it pay tribute?
Either way, it’s probably got a lot of pork in it.

Tribute dog is cheaper but it’s the relish and mustard add-ons that really cost!
- 47th Ward - Thursday, Jun 26, 14 @ 12:17 pm:
So I got my Daley Dog and I’m sitting down to enjoy it, when, as I’m lifting it to take a bite, I notice that the mustard is poured like little X’s down the dog. Then all of a sudden, Frank Kruesi comes out of nowhere and grabs my hotdog and throws it in the trash.
If you order one, tell them to hold the Meigs Field Tribute sauce.

“Forget the relish on that Cheddar Bacon Sausage. Just sprinkle some Lipitor on it.”

I wonder if Snoop Dogg will ever get a “Dogg Tribute Dog?”

Might cost $5 now, but the REAL cost of that hot dog will hit you when it is long gone.

The “Mayor Daley ‘Tribute Dog’” seems fine while you’re eating it, but after it passes you and your family will deal with its crippling aftermath for decades to come.

- AA -, there is not a Cannoli tent this year, but if I win avid become Governor, there will be “Governor’s Cannoli” stand, all proceeds towards a charity.
“Caption?”
Tribute Dog;
When you ask what’s on it, the server mumbles, then laughs, then wags his finger at you, “den youse get yer dog and get out”
- Oswego Willy - Thursday, Jun 26, 14 @ 10:32 pm:
Tribute Dog;
You go through 3 buffers, send a “sealed” payment for the dog, and if accepted you get your dog with 4 fundraising tickets, that no Daley knows about nuthin’
- Quizzical - Thursday, Jun 26, 14 @ 11:30 pm:
Only $5 upfront, but an extra 75 cents every time you park for the next 70 years.
