| - Cheffinis is the stoner's answer to the Hot Dog.
Located in Downtown Container Park, attached to the Black Cup Coffee shop. This tube steak eatery provides a different style of dog with available toppings like chorizo bits, pineapple sauce, chimichurri, crushed potato and chipotle guava. Now of course this isn't all on one dog, but a taste of the difference they offer.
I ordered the "Grandfather" which is ridiculous. A grilled frank and pork belly, red bell peppers, caramelized onions, crushed potato chips, spicy mayo, basil aioli, pickle mango, topped with a fried quail egg. This was amazing, I loved the pork belly paired with a runny quail egg and the crunch from the potato chips was also nice touch. This was stacked with toppings and I do suggest trying to eat this classic way for at least for one bite, but then grab the fork and knife because it gets messy.
The other dog I tried was the "Classic Cheffinis" with, onions, tomatoes, jalapeƱos, mozzarella, crushed potato chips, pineapple sauce, mustard, mayo and ketchup. A classic dog, but on steroids, there's no way really to eat this with your hands, there's just too many toppings, but they all taste great together. I really enjoyed the Pineapple sauce with the jalapenos and the fresh tomatoes.
The one thing I didn't enjoy was the mozzarella, I usually love mozzarella on everything, but the cheese was cold and not close to being "melty" which would have been much better. Cold cheese and hot food, not a great mix.
Good dogs and great area for seating and people watching. Also, the sweet potato fries and fry sauce are the business!
