When Lonnie and Diane opened their Chicago style eatery in Louisville, they had to change the culture of eating here. In Chicago, the hot dog is 'walking it through the garden.' All the things you might grow in your own garden, cucumber, tomato, relish, onion, peppers, celery salt, are put on the hot dog. Louisville wasn't used to eating cucumbers on a hot dog. Lonnie would often have to offer to "buy it back" if the customer didn't like it, just to get them to try something different. Lonnie hasn't bought one back yet.
