| - These guys are doing something interesting, and I like it. Gourmet hotdogs with Korean style toppings. I thought my lunch here was great, and my only wish is that they were closer to my job!
I ordered the Angry Hotdog ($4.95), and the Angry Kimchi fries ($4.95). The fries were actually sweet potato fries, covered in kimchi, an egg over easy, bulgogi, and Korean spices. It had a small little bite to it that I actually would have preferred stronger. The fries didn't come together so good for me. I'm just not sure if the sweetness of the sweet potato goes with the spicy, meaty flavors of the bulgogi and Korean chili sauce. They were good, but not great, and a little bit too greasy for me.
The hotdog, however, was bomb! I don't even know what all was on this thing because I couldn't waste time on trying to figure it out. I just wanted to eat it! The hotdog was indeed gourmet and nothing like a 7-11 hotdog. The buns were fresh and tasty (I confirmed with the owner that they get their buns freshly baked). The bulgogi on the burger gave it such a beautifully savory flavor. A really solid hotdog, again with a Korean style spice that really brought all the flavors together. Even though it was a decently sized hotdog, the thing only lasted about 30 seconds.
I am not a huge hotdog fan, but these are really unique. The price is right as long as you don't get carried away with the toppings, which are $0.50 - $1.00 extra. I look forward to trying more of their specialty dogs. The service was nice, and the owner was very interested to find out what we liked and didn't like so much. I think this hotdog shop is going to be a success.
