| - Shocker folks, I don't normally like hot dogs. The only way you can hand me a hot dog I'll actually eat is if it's fresh off the grill. With loads of ketchup...and I DO mean loads, like buckets full! If I ever think of eating a hot dog without ketchup, the world may end. The world kinda did tonight...a little.
I ordered the New York Dog and the Sweetbread Dog, plus the duck fat fries to split with my friend. I had to order the NYC Dog because I love me some sauerkraut. I ordered the Sweetbread dog because it had the word "sweet" in it. No lie. Please don't judge, but I thought sweetbread was like cornbread (I see you rolling your eyes foodies!). So I imagined this dog in between a roll that's actually corn bread...perhaps another creation Mr. Sousa? Anyway, I digress... The sweetbread I actually found out is...I suggest you look it up (but a hint: it deals with hearts and throats of animals). I'm willing to try anything so biting into the sweetbread it was almost a gel like consistency and very salty. I'm not a salty food person (a weirdo, I know!), so this wasn't my favorite thing.
What was my favorite thing was the NYC Dog. I know, traditional, but the dog itself was absolutely high grade meat. It was not your typical microwaved wiener. The sauerkraut was the right amount of tangy and crunch. And I swear, I only put a dab of ketchup on! Probably because I wanted to enjoy the taste of the grain mustard, which I have really become a fan of as of late. Total winner!
The duck fat fries were good, but I enjoy them a bit more crispy. I dumped ketchup on them. I should really just shut up about the ketchup....
This really is a great, fast and fairly cheap option for the East End area. When me and the hubby are heading over there to volunteer at the Animal Rescue League we need something fast, but something that will also taste good. Surprisingly, there's not many options. But now, we're saved! Good thing we're not eating dogs and then going to see dogs, we only volunteer with the cats...phew!
