Hot Doug’s is one of those rare spots that has such a following that closing for a few days seems almost like an act of betrayal to its fans. This morning I saw this from Hot Doug’s’ Twitter account:
FEBRUARY IN CHICAGO: Gray skies, grayer crud coming out of the sky & a Hot Doug’s vacation for no apparent reason. Closed 2/18-2/23.
So I tweeted: FYI: @hotdougs is closed 2/18-2/23.
Which was followed by:
- tastypopsicle: Never are more sadder words written RT @thelocaltourist: FYI:@hotdougs is closed 2/18-2/23.
- candidwines: Important Chicago food news: RT @thelocaltourist: FYI:@hotdougs is closed 2/18-2/23.
- kristinrupert: Serious bummer. Had plans to go that wkend. Oh well guess I’ll go sooner RT @candidwines RT @thelocaltourist: @hotdougs is closed 2/18-2/23.
I confess that I have not been there yet, but when people have this kind of reaction all I see is “what are you waiting for? GO. NOW.” Just not between the 18th and the 23rd.
