Fluky's is a Chicago-area fast food restaurant known for hot dogs.
Fluky's began in Chicago in 1929 on Maxwell and Halsted Streets. Founded by Abe Drexler, this stand is self acknowledged as the originator of the Chicago-style hot dog.[1][2] Still owned by the Drexler family, Fluky's maintains a stand in a Wal-Mart in Niles. A location in Buffalo Grove recently closed down.
The one-time chain had dwindled by the time the last city of Chicago Fluky's, 6821 N. Western Ave., changed its name to U Lucky Dawg on February 14, 2006; that site had been owned by a licensee for the previous eight years.[1]
