NORWOOD PARK — Superdawg has served up hot dogs and other drive-in far since 1948 on the Far Northwest Side.
The business, 6363 N. Milwaukee Ave., was created by high school sweethearts Maurie and Flaurie Berman — and it’s still family-owned.
We asked the Bermans to explain what makes their hot dog so special.
“The Superdawg recipe is my parents’ own recipe that they developed in the 1940s and continue to still be made specially for us today,” said co-owner Scott Berman. “It’s a larger-than-most hot dog. It is extra time in the smokehouse, extra spices. So it is a particularly delicious dog.”
