Zagat recently released America's Top Restaurants 2009, a comprehensive guide to all the restaurants Americans can no longer afford. But wedged in between the Jean Georges and the Nobus of the country, our eyes stopped on one of the book's few entries that boasts a score in the price category we can get behind.

Hot Doug's not only serves up some of Chicago's best hot dogs, but they do it in style, with duck fat fries on the side and daily specials like foie gras and duck sausage with black truffle butter.

The regular menu has a with-the-trends celebrity-inspired theme: The mighty hot fire dog is known as the Keira Knightley; it used to be the Jennifer Garner, and before that, the Britney Spears.

The line around the block and kitschy Elvis decorations may not be a draw for crowds used to white tablecloths, but with prices ranging from $1.75 for a traditional Chicago-style dog, to 8 bucks for the fanciest specials, this is one truffled up restaurant that should make it through the recession.
