| - Nope, you can't get these dogs at the hot dog vendor on the street. Nope, they don't taste the same. Yup, they're more expensive and take a while to make. Think of it as a custom blend sausage, not a mass produced hotdog. And skip the Kobe dog. Most anything labeled Kobe will be a disappointment unless it's an actual Kobe steak.
Try what I had instead, the BBQ pulled pork dog. Pork belly dog, bbq pork shoulder in a too sweet sauce that needed more tang, smoked gouda, caramelized onions, and slaw on a split top bun. Seriously, can you get any of that shit at your usual hotdog vendor? If so, count yourself lucky. The pork belly dog tastes good, the pulled pork's a little too sweet, but if your mouth is big enough to get all the ingredients in one bite, it all comes together w/ the cheese offsetting the sweet pulled pork, the slaw adding crunch and the rest adding flavor.
It's a boutique hotdog joint. Adjust your expectations accordingly.
