Winning Weiner-- Part 2: Fratello's in Volo, Illinois

Continued frim July 27th.

These were ranked as the Top Dogs in Lake County, Illinois, by the Lake County Journal. And, I have eaten at the Top Three.

#1 FRATELLO'S, VOLO-- (Given Five Dogs) Even more impressive, the place started right here in Lake County. "The bun was soft, tasty and fresh with the important element: poppy seeds. The dog was hot with soft meat inside. The twisted ends gave it a classic ballpark look.

If cars in the parking lot are any indicator, especially on the weekends, this is a top spot. The folks driving US-12 to either the Chain of Lakes or Wisconsin sure know it.

I haven't eaten there for many years and will have to get back.

Eatin' Them Dogs. --RoadDog
