Fletch's

The two-dog special (Yelp photo)

I'm a fan of the basic hot dog, whether it's served at Costco or at the ballpark, but a Fletch's hot dog is a cut above.

The small San Mateo diner next to the train tracks serves it "Chicago style".

The onions, pickles, tomatoes, and toasted bun make for a mouth-watering experience.

The owner is a fan of
all teams Chicago.

I always get the two-dog special, which includes fries, for about $7 and justify the purchase by saying the extra hot dog is for my next meal.

More often than not, the second dog doesn't make it home.
