| - Craft Dogs hosted a preview party tonight and will open to the public on Tuesday, May 28th. Should you line up for one of their haute dogs? Yes, you should.
Following what could be called a "burger movement" in Toronto, it seems almost natural to move on to its fast-food counterpart and give it the much-needed makeover. And Craft Dogs does just that. Imagine everything you think you know about hot dogs and throw it out the window.
First off, the hot dogs are hand-crafted and contain only natural ingredients, even the casings. Yup, ALL-natural. Most, if not all, of the condiments and drinks (less the beer, I presume) are made in-house too. If you love your lemonade like I do, go for the simple yet why-aren't-more-people-doing-this maple syrup version.
Second, the mainstays are crazy! In a good way. Everything from duck to pork belly to kobe beef are dressed to impress. One standout is the Thai dog topped with a mango salsa, but I hear the avocado dog is equally as good.
Finally, do you work in the financial district and tire of the corporate culture trickling down into the restaurant offerings? Escape here and eat well.
Shout out to the owners Kathleen and Brian who, following the success of their now sold Beer Bistro, clearly know what this city craves in food and drink.
