Maxwell Street Polish Sausage
The Maxwell street polish sausage is a Chicago staple; developed by a Macedonian immigrant that took over his aunt and uncles hot dog stand in 1939; now known as Jim’s Original. This marvel of a sandwich consists of a grilled polish sausage on a bun with grilled onions, yellow mustard, and pickled sport peppers.
