  Mr. QUIGLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 75th 
anniversary of Chicago's iconic hot dog stand--Superdawg.
  Established in May of 1948 by high-school sweethearts Maurie and 
Florence (Flaurie) Berman, Superdawg first opened at the corner of 
Milwaukee and Devon in Chicago. Today, Superdawg continues to be family 
owned and operated in the same location.
  Despite the small changes they have undergone over the past 75 years, 
the infamous Superdawg recipe and the drive-in concept have remained 
the same. Just as they did in 1948, customers can order from their car 
and have a carhop deliver their order on a tray.
  Superdawg has remained committed to providing quality products and 
service, making each customer's meal to-order, and affirming the belief 
that the customer is always right. They continue to insist that the 
customer should be treated as family--setting them apart from other 
fast-food establishments.
  In 2010, I spent the day working at Superdawg as part of my 
Undercover Congressman series. There, I learned how to make the famous 
Superdawg and gained an inside-look into what has made them so 
successful.
  As someone who has been a beloved Superdawg fan throughout my life, I 
am honored to help them celebrate this exciting milestone.
