If a burger is Batman, a hot dog is Robin so I'm not surprised to see a surge in hot dog joints as an offshoot of the current burger craze. I was taking a rare drive along Bloor West and saw the Fancy Franks so I decided to pop in and grab a dog for road. I figured while I was slumming I'd grab some donuts too.
These dogs have some Beverly Hillbilly prices. Perhaps I'm spoiled with the ability to consume $1.50 coney dogs in Detroit, but I was a little shocked at the almost $8 price tag. That said, they did some justice to this important piece of Americana.
Holy powdered sugar, Batman! The donut machine wasn't working either!
All in all, an interesting novelty but I'd tend to still get my dog for 1/2 the price and the smiling street vendor down the road.
