Just moved to Melrose and was excited to try this new restaurant via übereats. I love gourmet hot dogs and this place looked super yummy!
We ordered the Lady and the Bear. The Lady was my favorite! Fried pickles and chipotle cream cheese somehow made utter, delicious yummy sense! The Bear I was slightly disappointed in, but it may have been because I opted for the meat version. It was definitely good but adding chicken may have affected the combination of flavors; I emphasize, the combo surprisingly still worked! Who would have thought peanut butter, cracker jacks, gouda, and bbq sauce would have made a winning combination?! This is why I applaud Short Leash! They took an old time American favorite and dressed it up to the nines! Not only were they experimental with their toppings but the Naan bread worked perfectly and I loved getting to choose Brats instead of the traditional hot dogs. If you are a more conservative eater I recommend eating somewhere else; if you're like me and like to eat new things, eat here.
Keep experimenting with flavors and I will keep eating whatever you come up with!
