I have written this article because this is a classic and historical hot dog stand in the Chicagoland area. I am in no way affiliated with the company, but the place has been there over 60 years and has a very strong nostalgic significance with many people. They are even an inductee into the Vienna Beef hall of fame - http://www.viennabeef.com/culture/fame/item.asp?m=33&PG=3

Fluky's, Portillo's and Pink's Hot Dogs all have pages dedicated to them as well as many local, long established eateries across the country.

If there's any material that doesn't fit with spirit of Wikipedia, then that makes sense to delete (I don't think I added any), but the article itself should remain.

speedy delete declined, but it still needs references. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 18:53, 13 February 2009 (UTC) ( a Superdawg and Portillo's addict)[reply]

Thanks for the stay of execution. I will add references as soon as I figure that out, I'm bit new to putting up articles. You must try Gene and Judes or Jimmy's if you like Hot Dogs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mycrofthomes (talk • contribs) 19:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

references added, by myself and a gentleman from Montreal. As for notability, this tiny little restaurant generates more than 700 hits each on yahoo [1] and google [[2]] Wuhwuzdat (talk) 19:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A little confused on why this article still not meet the notability guidelines for companies and organizations. It has been featured in the magazine Every Day with Rachel Ray, the magazine Time Out Chicago, the Chicago Tribune, and the food blog Serious Eats, not to mention it has 36,000 fans on Facebook. The article has links to all of these places. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.192.42.20 (talk) 17:37, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The last comment, and the edits on the actual article from 5 February 2011, were done by me.

Having no ketchup "typical" at Chicago hot dog stands?

An inaccurate assertion. Gene & Jude's refusal to offer the customer ketchup is one thing that sets them apart from most stands. Also, I question the wording of "...its toppings departing from tradition by including only mustard, onions, relish, sport peppers..." In fact, minimal toppings are more, not less traditional, if one sets early street vendors as the "traditional" standard; non-perishable/slow-to-perish toppings were preferred.Relgif (talk) 22:27, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Celebrities

I liked to document the amount of celebrities that have eaten here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TeddyKats (talk • contribs) 16:24, 10 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
