| - I have had my share of pleasant hot dog experiences. Dirty Franks Hot Dog Palace (Columbus, OH), Jack's Cosmic Dogs (Mount Pleasant, SC), a tour of the Vienna Beef factory in Chicago immediately followed by nom noming on some dogs--- if you want a great dog try one of these places.
If you want a disappointing, soggy bun that will fall apart as soon as you pick up your dog, which is too long for the bun and not accompanied by enough toppings, then stop by Station Street. 'Maybe I ordered the wrong dog?' I thought, as I picked up my much anticipated Hawaiian dog, only to find that before even biting into it the dog and half my toppings had fallen through the what was once bun but was now two pieces of soggy bread. But then I looked at my boyfriend's Kimchi dog and saw that it, too, would soon meet the same fate. The hot dog itself was tasty, and the toppings would have been good if there were any way to keep them on my dog once it was out of the bun. But there is nothing worse than trying to eat a soggy bun. I tried to finish my hot dog but ended up opting to fill up on the fries, which were quite tasty.
Based on all the positive reviews I am guessing not everyone's hot dogs were such a disappointment. May give this place another try (see if it can be a BYOB- bring your own bun?) but for now will stick to the plethora of burger joints for my backyard bbq fix.
