Author Notes

You can smell the onions grilling long before you get to your favorite hot dog stand. Many Chicago sandwich classics add these delicious onions and we couldn’t help but wonder how they would be on a classic corned beef. The result is fantastic, the onions add a rich, sweet flavor to the sandwich, and we’re wondering where they’ve been all our life. —SP
