| - I waltzed into Happy Dog with the highest expectations, largely on account of my friend who would not shut up about it. Well, guess what: he was right.
For $5, the same price as a naked Tribe hot dog, you can get a hot dog and over 50 different toppings. That's right. FIFTY. These toppings change periodically. I ordered "the works."
Just Kidding; actually, I ordered Siracha, Thai chile and garlic sauce, a pickle spear (gotta order the pickle spear), Yuengling-flavored sauerkraut, and garlicky escarole. The bun quivered under the weight of the all-beef weenie and toppings, but my oh my! Party in my mouth, fire in my mouth. A vegan dog is also available for those who took An Omnivore's Dilemma too seriously.
Obviously, I also ordered the tator tots, squeezing my wallet dry at a hefty $3. This comes with a choice of however many sauces you want. The secret French Fry sauce is so delicious that I'd probably go on Fear Factor if the winning prize was the French Fry Sauce Super Secret Recipe. The house made Ketchup is not shabby, but for $3, you might as well sample the housemade sauces. I didn't care for the Red Chile and Chocolate Mole sauce, and was scolded for "not know what I'm talking about." Haters.
The beer selection consists of local beers and old man beers to compliment your fancy schmancy dog. Order a couple, then head downstairs to test your mad skills at Pinball. Look for my record, it's probably second from the last. Happy Dog also has a shuffleboard, but for some reason we couldn't use it when we were there. Drats! Next time.
