Stock photo of Chicago style hot dog - where to find?

I have been scouring istockphoto and everything I find will need lots of editing in photoshop, or is not in the right position. I need a chicago dog in a straight horizzontal position. Any ideas?

BTW for anyone who doesn't know, a Chicago Style Hot Dog is not just a hot dog with a bunch of condiments, it is actually very specific, has dog, bun with poppy seeds, mustard, onion, bright green relish, tomato wedges, peppers, and a pickle spear.... if I don't find something pretty soon it looks like I will be working on this in photoshop all day.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Google images turns up quite a few, you might be able to contact the person who owns the image and ask permission to use it. Also you can google chicago style hotdogs and a number of hot dog places come up. I'd give one a call and ask if anyone there has a digital camera and wouldn't mind taking a few pictures for you and offer them a few bucks for their time? It's worth a shot.

Edited to add: I found the same image John just posted.

John, thank you for this, I did find this same image and have already tried contacting the owner of it (Vienna Beef) and I am waiting to hear back from them. That is the perfect picture of a Chicago Dog. Getting permission to use a high-res copy of this I think will prove to be a difficult task. Image size needs to be rather large, as it is going on the side of a truck about 20" x 80"...
