Stack's

Jerry Stack is a Chicago native who grew up eating spicy Italian sausage and dogs on the Windy City's south side. Jennifer Vargo said she grew up loving Chicago-style food. All of Stack's meats come from Chicago, and the owners pride themselves on serving Turano bread and poppy-seed buns for their dogs. They wanted to make the business feel like a downtown Chicago eatery with a classic look, including a checkerboard floor, black-and-white artwork, and a television mounted on the wall.
