Seventy-five years ago, Flaurie and Maurie Berman decided to open a food stand that would fast become an historic destination hot dog stand with full carhop service in the Norwood Park neighborhood of Chicago, better known as the Superdawg Drive-In (@superdawgdrivein). It was only supposed to last one summer, said their daughter Lisa Drucker. She now owns the business with husband Don Drucker and her oldest brother Scott Berman. “A lot of the GIs at the time were coming back and opening hot dog carts or little stands,” said their son-in-law. “Maurie said, ‘What can we do for the summer while I study for the CPA exam, and Flo was a schoolteacher?’” Before there was Superdawg, it was just the story of one young couple. “They were high school sweethearts,” said their daughter. “North Siders who went to Von Steuben.” Tap the link in our bio for the story of Flaurie and Maurie Berman and how Superdawg became a beloved Chicago institution. ?
