That’s not far from the price of most beefs in the city now, sadly.

Sadly $10 bucks is cheap now. I don't know where you can get beef for under that. Southside staple Tony's Beef is over $10.

Johnnie's is barely under $10 last I checked. But it's close.

really? damn. I've tried theirs, it's pretty good but I thought the price was a bit steep for it.

Please tell me a chicago dog isn't $6 either.

I’m not really a hot dog person, but from what I’ve seen, those will usually run you $3-$4, maybe $5 with fries.

I’m sure I was exaggerating a bit, but I haven’t seen a beef for less than $7.50 in years. Normally in the city, I’m looking at $9.00+, especially when adding hot peppers (I also like cheese sauce on my beef, so that will often put me over $10.00).
