Superdawg co-founder Flaurie Berman died in her sleep last night. Flaurie, along with husband Maurie, started the legendary hot dog joint 70 (!) years ago. The hot dog effigies of her and Maurie (who died three years ago) are Chicago institutions, standing proudly above the Milwaukee Avenue location (they can also be found on top of the Wheeling location).
It is with profound sadness that we inform you that our matriarch, Florence Berman, passed away peacefully in her sleep last night. For seventy years, Flaurie worked alongside and supported her husband and best friend, Maurie Berman as they built a business and a family. pic.twitter.com/Zr5LQ8ZcqR
