Checking Out The Windy City Hot Dog Fest

Beautiful day, yet chillier than I’d like, so I thought I’d take a hike through the neighborhood to check out the Windy City Hot Dog Fest in Portage Park. 

Chicago’s neighborhood festivals are always a good time. Obviously there’s food, but there’s also music and the usual vendors selling all sorts of crafts and the occasional artwork. Of course there’s also just the fun of people watching. 

But today was about hot dogs. To kick it off I had a traditional Chicago hot dog as an appetizer before strolling down the street. But then I decided to check out the gourmet sausage creations from Chicago’s Dog House. It was a tough choice between the rattlesnake and rabbit sausage and the smoked alligator sausage but I chose the rattlesnake and rabbit. 

Good choice as it turns out. Since I had eaten my fill and didn’t want to mix reptiles on the same day, I strolled away satisfied. Given that the weather looks similar for tomorrow I’ll probably head back to try out the smoked alligator version. 

 As you can see from the gallery, there’s plenty of different varieties of hot dogs and sausages available, although I’m not sure how successful the selections from L.A. Style Hot Dogs will go over. 

I also didn’t see too much ketchup around, though I can’t say I looked that closely.

You can find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.

Close-up of a rattlesnake on dry, dusty ground. The snake's body is coiled, showcasing its distinctive diamond-back pattern in shades of dark brown, light brown, and beige. The snake's head is in sharp focus, facing the camera with its mouth slightly open. Its forked tongue is fully extended, appearing dark purple or blue. The snake's eyes are visible, giving it an alert and potentially threatening appearance. The background is blurred but shows bits of dry vegetation and soil, indicating a desert or arid environment. The image captures the intricate details of the snake's scales and the texture of its skin.

Came across this giant nope stick laying across the bike trail on today's ride. I live in rattlesnake country btw so this happens from time to time. Lucky, I did not die.

Based on the image and the information I found, here's a description of the possible rattlesnake species:
 * Southern Pacific Rattlesnake: These snakes have a thick body with a short, stubby tail that has rattles. They have narrow, ridged scales and a large, triangular head. Their color can vary from brown to black, with darker blotches on their back.
 * Western Diamondback Rattlesnake: These snakes are typically gray, brown, or pinkish, with dark diamond-shaped patterns outlined in lighter colors on their back. Their tail has black and white rings, and they have a broad, triangular head.
 * Red Diamond Rattlesnake: These snakes are reddish in color, with diamond-shaped blotches that are usually bordered with light edges. They have black and white stripes on their tail.

ā€œSnakes were powerful symbols throughout Mesoamerican history, linked with the sky, rain, and agriculture. Aztecs may have seen the snake's shedding of its skin as a metaphor for the cyclical nature of life, death, and rebirth.ā€

official museum photo of the object on gradient grey background, front profile view showing head. ā€œCompact and smoothly polished, this rattlesnake displays typical Aztec sculptural techniques. Both the musculature of this snake's body and its head have been sculpted in great detail. The eyes were probably once inlaid, and ferocious fangs descend from the snake's upper jaw.

This carving is one of the most realistic known, and was probably part of a coiled snake sculpture like those on display in this gallery. Throughout Mesoamerica, serpents were strongly associated with the sky and celestial bodies, as well as water and earth.ā€
