The Fast Food Icon That Saved Chicago Hotdog Stands
The Pizza Puff is one of Chicago’s most overlooked classics. Born out of the city’s hotdog stands in the 1970s, this deep fried pocket became a way to compete with the rise of neighborhood pizzerias. It is not just pizza in a crunchy blanket, it’s a mix of Italian flavors, Mexican influence, and true Chicago style grit. In this vid, we’ll dive into the history of the Puff and why you still find it served at hot dog stands today. RECIPE: https://www.adamwitt.co/allrecipes/z6...
