Another beautiful day cycling mindfully through nature, enjoying dramatic cloud formations, playful geese, peaceful waters, and majestic trees.
And then came my favorite guilty pleasure — a Chicago-style hot dog at Happy Hound in Los Gatos!.
It’s about as close as I can get to a Portillo’s hot dog in Chicago, where I attended podiatric medical school and where Cecile
Even better, I can reach Happy Hound mostly by bicycle trails, with very little car traffic.
Of course, a Portillo’s regular hot dog with everything reportedly packs a whopping 1,560 mg of sodium! 😳.
The good news? I burn calories pedaling there AND burn a few more on the ride home!
As for the sodium… well, that’s another story! Life is about balance — nourishing the soul, exercising the body, and occasionally indulging the taste buds!
