Chicago for Real

Submitted by Ryan Arthur on Friday, July 30th, 10:42 am

Bill and his brothers came to the studio and brought some amazing stuff. The pizzas were great and fresh.

I love the relish that is on a Chicago style hot dogs and this is the right stuff. They bring in the meats from the real Chicago venders.

It is authentic Chicago food experience south of the Mansion Dixon Line. Now you don’t have to make the 531 mile trip; just a trip to Horn Lake.

PS Everyone can be a Cubs fan for one day right?. Stay hungry my friends. Certificates available at www.halfoffmidsouth.com
