Maxwell Street Polish

A grilled beef-and-pork kielbasa-style sausage on a bun with grilled onions, yellow mustard, and optional sport peppers — the open-air-market sandwich created by a Macedonian immigrant at the Maxwell Street Market in 1939. Sweet, smoky, and best eaten before midnight.

Try it at: Portillo's or Jim's Original-style hot dog stands
