HAUTE DOG

French-style hot dog at Brasserie Jo
(59 W Hubbard St, 312-595-0800; $7.95)
Chef Jean Joho’s $8 hot dog may not look like the traditional American pup—the beef-and-pork sausage is stuffed into a crusty, hollowed-out baguette. But pair it with the Brasserie’s signature, Goose Island–brewed beer and you’ll be transported to a baseball field. A, um, French baseball field.
