Wow. It had been a long time since I was so excited to try something. Our original dinner plan was to order Chinese from China Village & run across the street for a drink at Shady's while we waited. We lucked out big time! The parking lot of China Village was full, so we went right to Shady's and were introduced to Short Leash. All it took was one look at the menu and I knew I would be hooked. I was tossed up between the Aiko (mango chutney, jalapenos, red onions, fresh cilantro and mayo) or the Lady (chipotle cream cheese, sauteed onions and fried pickles) - but went with the lady. I have not stopped thinking about the deliciousness of that dog since it touched my lips.
Speaking of fried pickles - I have always loved them, but the fried pickles from Short Leash were hands down the best fried pickles I have ever had. I need to find out what they put in their batter to give it the spice and crispiness that lasted through the entire meal - no soggy pickles in the end.
So if you're a hotdog fan or even if you're not (they will convert you!) find them on Facebook, track them down in the Valley and get some goodness!!
