4. Chicago Export Report.
“There are many styles of cooking hot dogs and lots of condiments and toppings to put in and on top of the dog but in my opinion, the king of hot dogs are Chicago-style and lucky for us, Windy C’s Chicago Hot Dogs in Upland serves up some of the best little doggies in the IE and has for over 14 years,” Allen Borgen writes for the Inland Empire Weekly of the Los Angeles area.
“Owner Freddie Johnson, who hails from the South Side of Chicago, is very thankful for his loyal customers support over the years.”

“Last week my wife and I had Chicago-style hot dogs for dinner,” Larry Olmsted writes for Forbes.
“In Vermont. This wasn’t some faux attempt by a local restaurant to recreate the Windy City signature, it was the Windy City signature – Vienna brand beef franks on poppy seed buns from A. Rosen, topped with Vienna sport peppers, Vienna bright green pickle relish, Ploughman’s yellow mustard, and of course, celery salt. All of this came in a Chicago Hot Dog Kit that made 16 loaded franks (I had to supply the tomato and onion) and sells for just $39.95. And man was it good.”

“The food Chicago native Tish Moore missed the most after she went away to college wasn’t deep-dish pizza, Italian beef sandwiches, or onion-and-pickle-topped hot dogs. No, what she missed was a more basic snack: popcorn,” the East Bay Express reports.
“So popcorn featured prominently in any care package her family sent her. And for ten years, every single time her parents flew out to visit, they made sure to pack some popcorn in their suitcase – every time except the most recent time.
“That’s because, as of two weeks ago, Moore has launched her very own popcorn store, Scarecrow Popcorn, in Oakland’s Grand Lake neighborhood. With that opening, Moore is hoping that Chicago-style popcorn might be the next big thing in the East Bay.”

5. USDA To Allow China To Process Chickens, Ship Back To U.S.
“While the logistics are hard to imagine – if we can’t safely leave chicken out for the length of a family picnic, how can it be shipped halfway around the world and back with no ill effects? – the USDA is doing its best to reassure both chicken farmers and consumers that the process is 100-percent safe.”
