Driving from Chicago to Mammoth Caves, KY-looking for good eats!

Hello everyone,

I am taking a road trip in July from Chicago to Mammoth Cave, KY. I am looking for good eats on the way, and in the area of Mammoth Cave NP. Any interesting sights on the way are also welcome! Open to any ideas, although BBQ or other "regional fare" would be top on the list.

Hot Dogs in the Loop

Hello!

I have two friends coming in last minute tomorrow and they really want a Chicago style hot dog. I'd take them to Hot Dougs, but I won't have a car and don't think they'll want to take a 2 hour detour to California Avenue to check it out. Does anyone have recommendations for decent hot dogs downtown in the loop or /river north area?

Thanks!

Bulk spices

Thanks for the tip! This is just what I was looking for.

Looking for an asian market

Delicious Queso Fundido please?

I went to a Mexican restaurant last night in the River North neighborhood (I can't remember the name of it off the top of my head) and had some queso fundido that was not that great. There was too much chorizo and barely any cheese. I used to get great queso at Cafe Senor Moose in Seattle:

I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations in the Chicago area?

Good tacos and mole recommendations would also be appreciated! :)

In Search of German Tavern in Chicago Area with Glass Boot!
