| - Wow...I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to try this place the other night and sad that I hadn't made it over there before! I love hotdogs, but rarely do I have one that lives up to the hype. For instance, I had one a month or so ago that had been written up in a couple of magazines, and I was very disappointed because, although the meat was very good, the bun was too big, so really all I tasted was bread...definitely not the case with the Short Leash dogs! I love, love, love the fact that they are served in naan instead of a bun. Like the example I mentioned, buns too often dull the taste of the dog. I ordered the Oliver, an all-beef dog topped with melted swiss, sauerkraut, and Thousand Island, and I added fried pickles! Holy hot dogs, it was amazing!! My friend and I had split the corn dogs bites to start with, and they were very delicious and sizeable--definitely more than "bites." So, I figured there was no way I would eat my entire hotdog. But it was so delicious that I just couldn't put it down! My friend had the Mac Daddy, which she loved. I took a bite of it, and the mac 'n' cheese and chili combination was fantastic. The only thing I didn't like was my drink. I had some sort of sangria, but not the raspberry one, and it just tasted very odd. I will not order that again, but I will definitely be back to Short Leash as soon as I can for the food! I want to try almost everything on the menu :)
One more thing, I saw someone else's review that said that the corndog bites were undercooked and "bizarre"...they must have had an off day at that visit because they were wonderful when I had them. I've actually never had corndog bites outside of the southeast that I've been happy with, and these were perfect. They were perfectly cooked and a perfect ratio of meat to batter! They are quite large and filling, though, so, if you have a small appetite, you might want to skip them, split them, or have as entrée.
