Byron’s Hot Dogs Celebrates 50 Years of Iconic Chicago Flavor with 59¢ Throwback Deal

A true Windy City institution is hitting a milestone—Byron’s Hot Dogs is celebrating 50 years of slinging classic Chicago-style dogs! Since 1975, Byron’s has been a go-to spot for locals, tourists, celebrities, Cubs players, and even Illinois politicians. They’ve even served their signature dogs on the White House lawn.

Famous for their all-beef hot dogs loaded with traditional toppings—neon green relish, sport peppers, onions, mustard, tomatoes, a pickle spear, and a dash of celery salt—Byron’s is marking this golden anniversary with a golden-era deal: hot dogs for just 59¢, the same price as when they first opened.

It’s not just a deal—it’s a delicious trip back in time and a thank-you to generations of loyal fans. Whether you’re revisiting old memories or tasting Byron’s for the first time, there’s never been a better moment to enjoy this Chicago classic.
