Kerry Thompson says you can find a lot of good Coney Island hot dogs around town, but "nobody in Ann Arbor I know of offers the Vienna hot dog anymore." So in September Kerry and his younger brother, Kasey, opened Wise Guys in the former Bev's Caribbean Kitchen on Packard. They carry both Chicago's legendary Vienna Beef dogs and Nathan's Famous all-beef hot dogs from New York. Both are served in a steamed, poppy seed Gonnella roll, a hot dog bun made in Chicago and beloved by Windy City hot dog aficionados.
