MIKE'S CHICAGO DOG HAUS: With an interior as bright yellow and red as cheap mustard and ketchup, Mike's Chicago Dog Haus is as much fun to look at as its mountainous sandwiches are to eat. I refer, of course, to the famous Chicago Dog made with the equally famous "Vienna 100 percent Pure Beef Hot Dog." Mike's turns out an exemplary example. This is no mushy, tasteless wurst, its blandness undisguised by second-rate relish. The Chicago Style Dog is a paragon of the type, enhanced by freshly minced onion and a light relish. In addition to both mustard and ketchup slathered on a steamed poppy seed bun, the dog is topped with an entire pickle spear -- a good 5 inches long -- and the final kick of a dash of celery salt and a small hot pepper. (Look before you bite!) And this, mind you, can be ordered as a double, which is still not as big as The Works ("need a fork to eat it"). Craving something gooey and goopy and dripping with character as well as with chili, slaw, kraut and grilled onions? This is the place: Chili Dog, Slaw Dog, Chili Slaw Dog, Cheese Dog, Chili Cheese Dog, Kraut Dog, Stew Dog (as in Brunswick), Corn Dog, Plain Dog and the Veggie Dog.
