FOR BEING HERE.

WE APPRECIATE IT.

>> THANK YOU.

CHICAGO IS HOME TO DOZENS OF OF

MUSEUMS AND COUNTLESS

RESTAURANTS WITH FLAVORS FROM

ALL OVER THE WORLD.

UP UNTIL NOW NO ONE HAS COMBINED

THE TWO, THE MUSEUM WITH FOOD.

BUT BRANDIS FRIEDMAN REPORTS

CHICAGO ACTUALLY HAS A

FOOD-SEUM.

IN PORTUGAL, AND AUSTRIA THE

VERY ENA, AND IN THE WINDY CITY

EVERYONE'S FAVORITE IS THE HOT

DOG.

CHICAGO WE ARE FAMOUS FOR THE

HOT DOG.

THIS HONOR OF ONE OF THE MOST

FAMOUS FOODS THE CITY'S FUTURE

MUSEUM, IS POPPING UP THIS

EXHIBIT AT BLOCK 37 IN THE LOOP.

THE HOT DOG, AND IF YOU EVER

WONDERED HOW SAUSAGE IS MADE,

THIS WILL BE THE PLACE TO FIND

OUT.

THE FOUNDER KYLE JOSEPH SAYS THE

EXHIBIT HAS THREE PARTS, THE

HISTORY OF THE HOT DOG.

>> A LESSON ON INTERNATIONAL

ENCASED MEATS.

WE SHOW YOU A MAP OF ENCASED

MEATS AROUND THE WORLD.

AND YOU CAN SEE WHAT IT LOOKS

LIKE AND SPICES THAT GO INTO IT

AND FLAVORS, AND A CHANCE TO

SMELL THEM, AND TRANSPORT

YOURSELF IN TO WHERE THESE

CULTURES ARE.

>> Reporter: AND THE DISCOVERY

THAT YOU CAN BE A SAUSAGE MAKER.

>> WE WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND

THAT THEY CAN DO IT.

IT IS FUN AND INTERESTING, AND

SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE FOR

MILLIONS OF YEARS.

IT IS POSSIBLE.

>> Reporter: AND WHO BETTER TO

HELP WITH THIS THAN CHICAGO'S

OWN HOT DOG KING, DOUG, THE MAN

BEHIND THE FORMER HOT DOUG.

>> I HOPE THIS TAKES AWAY A REAL

SENSE OF WHERE FOOD FITS IN OUR

CULTURE AND OUR SOCIETY.

FOR HUMANS AND GENERAL A

CHICAGOANS THIS PARTICULAR.

BUT TO QUESTION FOOD'S ROLE IN

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND WHERE OUR

FOOD COMES FROM, AN INCREDIBLE

QUESTION.

>> Reporter: HE SERVES ON THE

BOARD AND CONTRARY WHAT YOU YOU

THINK THAT WASN'T NECESSARILY

HIS IDEA BUT AGREES IT IS THE

BEST WAY FOR THE FOOD-EUM TO

BITE INTO CHICAGO.

>> THE GLORIOUS HISTORY OF THE

CITY BUT THE REAL FOOD SCENE

THAT CAME ABOUT, AND THE

ATTENTION, HAS HAPPENED IN THE

LAST 15 YEARS OR SO.

>> Reporter: JOSEPH COMES FROM

THE WORLD OF TECH STARTUPS.

>> I LOVE THE IDEA OF CULTURES

SHARING, THESE ARE CONNECTED TO

IT, AND STORY BEHIND IT AND VERY

A MOMENT OF RIDE.

>> Reporter: HE GOT THE IDEA TO

CREATE A MUSEUM FOR FOOD IN THE

WINDY CITY AND RAISED MORE THAN

$33,000 ON KICK STARTERS TO GET

IT STARTED.

CONSIDERING CHICAGO'S HISTORY

WITH FOOD IT IS A SURPRISE

SOMETHING LIKE THIS DOESN'T

ALREADY EXIST.

>> THE PERFECT PLACE FOR IT.

I WAS BUILT ON FOOD, THE HISTER

HERE IS OUT STANDING.

AND THE FOOD CULTURE IS AMAZING.

THE RAURNZS ARE HERE AND

EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING,

LIKE THE CENTER PIECE FOR FOOD.

>> AND NOT A CHICAGOAN THIS TOWN

WHO WOULDN'T EAT THAT RIGHT UP.

FOR "CHICAGO TONIGHT", I'M

BRANDIS FRIEDMAN.
