| - Sitting on an alley (Graeme Street) on Market Square, this little hot Dog shop is a four step-walk-down harkening to the corner lunch place from the 60s (minus the racism).
You walk in, and while it is clean, there is little flair to this establishment. The dogs are pried pretty well, although a combo gets a little pricier than I think jsut a dog and fries and drink should be. Still, it isn't in the expensive category at all.
I wanted a dog with just mustard and made the mistake of ordering the "Chicago Style Dog" that was at the top of the list. This was on me, and it came with relish (very fresh) jalapenos, mustard and a pickle on it.
The dog was underwhelming. Not too plump, and not hot. The bun was good, and the relish (though i scraped it off) was fresh and tasty, if i do say so myself. The Pickel, on the other hand, wasn't quite a pickle yet. It was somewhere between cucmber and pickle. Maybe that is how is is meant to be? I wouldn't say it was "bad" just "not done soaking" maybe.
The guy behind the window was really nice and, even though i didn't ask for the combo, he threw in some fries (I'm assuming so i could try them.)
So I don't know... I had a better hotdog from the cart on the sidewalk just a half block over on Liberty and Fifth, but they were super nice and you feel like you are in a big city going into this (almost literally) hole-in-the-wall place.
Try it for yourself and see.
