complete the forced serendipity

The Portillo's Hotdogs
in Elmhurst, IL looks like a giant jukebox.

This
morning, I'm thinking of returning to Wiener Wonderland. The
reason I'm thinking that, is that it's a hot dog stand that is
perpetually time-locked in the Thanksgiving to Christmas holiday
timeframe. In addition to holiday decorations, art, and
endless Christmas music, they have some truly spectacular items on
the menu such as the Santa dog and the Rudolph dog. The
Rudolph dog is a spicy hot dog made from reindeer meat. I like
to put sauerkraut and Bertman's Ballpark Mustard on it. I
particularly enjoy eating a Rudolph Dog in the booth directly below
the festive mural of Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, hoping for the
song of the same name to play while I'm eating it to complete the
forced serendipity. That really does it for me!
