| - I've been here twice and tried out a number of the dogs. I think at best, it's a novelty act. None of the dogs I would really crave for, or desire to make the effort to drive here to eat. The Hawaii Dog (Pineapple Salsa, Bacon, Sweet Soy, Mint), the Banh Mi Dog (Pork Liver, Pickled Cucumber, Pickled Red Onion, Jalapeno, Sweet Chili, Cilantro), and the Kim Chi dog (Kimchi, Kewpie Mayo, Nori, Bonito) are some of the choices. The Banh Mi is definitely the most distinct option. Is $6-7 too much for a dog?
If this place was located on South Highland, or Forbes Ave, I would have no doubt that I would walk by and grab a dog or two a few times a month. But, short of being next door at Target, I can't see myself coming back. There are only two outdoor tables, and indoor seating is all barstools, with little decor or ambiance. And when we pulled up, there was some hard metal mix blaring through the speakers. I've got my System of a Down, Tool, and Perfect Circle CDs loaded onto my playlists - but it's probably not the best marketing move if you're hoping to bring in families.
Someone told me that they actually preferred my homemade Venezualan dogs. Hebrew National, shredded cabbage, diced yellow onion, smashed potato chips, ketchup, deli mustard, and mayo, on a potatoe bun. BAM! You'll never go back to a regular dog again.
