00:00Take me out for some hot dogs.
00:04All right, back in the Chicagoland here at Forest Park.
00:09This is Barkey's.
00:10They've been here for a long time.
00:12Look at this classic looking building.
00:14I mean, this is the type of hole-in-the-wall hot dog that you're trying to look for.
00:19Now, what we're going to do is see if this hot dog is worthy to take and worthy of this area.
00:24An area of great hot dogs.
00:27So, let's find out as we go hot dog here at Barkey's.
00:32This is Barkey's.
00:57All right.
01:11Now, Barkey's has been here since 1947.
01:16It's got a unique look to it, a unique feel.
01:19You can sit outside when it's nice.
01:22Of course, it's 5 degrees outside, so it has a better view inside.
01:26And the bundle ratio is great.
01:30When a dog sticks out in front, that's when you know it's great.
01:32It's not the park we see, but hey, it's a little different.
01:35You need a little variety here.
01:37Let's see how this hot dog actually tastes.
01:47This is a pork-beef blend hot dog.
01:50Now, it's steamed, boiled, and done.
01:53Kind of like a Dirty Mornin' type of salad.
01:58But this tastes similar to the hot dog that they actually serve outside, that pork-beef blend.
02:03Very good choice.
02:05You've got the beef hot dogs are good, the pork-beef ones are.
02:08These hot dogs, this one, bite the pinwheels off.
02:16It's a home run.
02:21Of course, raise the altitude.
02:25And here's a chili cheese dog.
02:27Now look at this.
02:28This is what a chili cheese hot dog should look like.
02:31The chili looks nice, got that liquid cheese.
02:35Let's give this hot dog a try.
02:48That's a good blend.
02:49Nice spice blend and good cheese.
02:53I'm going to give this hot dog a triple.
03:01Now the fries.
03:06That thin cut style fries, look at that.
03:08Look at these fries.
03:10These are terrific looking fries.
03:27Yeah, you can try the green.
03:348.3.
03:38Parky's been here since 1947.
03:41And there's personality here.
03:43There's personality here.
03:45And that's what sometimes gets a hot dog over the fence.
03:50That personality gives it that extra pop.
03:53And this place is terrific, it's fun.
03:55And you know, a couple years ago, a car actually ran through the glass here.
04:03But they've recovered nicely.
04:08And serving the people of Forest Park, these are great hot dogs.
04:12And if you know any other places I should go, email me at gtank99 at gmail.com.
04:19Are you loud and shrug?
04:21Go away, go away.
04:25Comment down below, tell me where I should go next.
04:28Because I'm going everywhere, anywhere.
04:30And you never know what I'm going to show.
04:32So keep raw dogging, and I'll see you down the road.
04:37Take me out for some hot dogs.
04:41Get me one that's only plain.
04:45No mustard or ketchup.
04:48I'll know what the dog is really about.
04:51And it's hope that this is a good one.
04:55Maybe a home run or a double.
04:58But if it sucks, it will be a strike out.
05:01And I'm worried of my taste buds.
