Oh man. This place is a triple threat!
The hot dog. Check. The toppings. Double check. The Bun. HOLY CRAP IT'S AMAZING!
Why am I so excited about the bun? Because it was incredible. It was fresh, it was tasty and it was toasted. That combination is lethally good. I ALMOST want to say it made the whole thing, but I think the toppings combined with the bun did it in for me.
The funny thing is I used to not even really like dogs. I've always had them served to me very blandly. The only way I'd eat them later on in life is if they were straight off the grill. But now that there's all these gourmet offerings, I've tried my fair share of dogs around tahn. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this has probably taken over as my favorite.
There's over 20 different choices of dogs, which is hard to believe. I kinda wanted to try them all, but ended up choosing the Illinois and the special of the day, the Arkansas dog. The Illinois (tomato, banana peppers, celery salt) had a bountiful amount of banana peppers and not too much bacon (which surprisingly, I liked). But I really liked the Arkansas dog (bacon, cheddar and scallions, horseradish) because of the horsey sauce on top and the. The prices aren't bad at all. Around $2.50-$3 for what I call a "gourment dog" is great!
I also tried the potato salad which had the right amount of mayo in it. It's hard to get that nice balance. But I will say, I enjoy a lot of it! Throw in fresh squeezed lemonade and I'm a believer!
I can't wait to work my way through the menu, because... it. is. happening!
