I happened upon this place with two friends yesterday afternoon, lured by the sell of "gourmet hot dogs" on the cheap.
To be clear, I would not label the hot dog offerings as "gourmet". The bun and dog are your standard grocery store fare. But with 55 toppings, you've the ability to create your own works of wonder.
The real catch to me was the sheer variety of the toppings. Jerk sauce to cinnamon toast crunch to zucchini relish. And unlike most establishments with wide variety of add-ons, there was no extra cost for any of these. Put as many on as you want, and not pay an extra penny.
The most challenging thing about Hot N Dog is determining, of their massive condiment menu, what to combine to create the perfect dog. Unsure about toppings such as peanut butter or cereal, I stayed with semi-standard fare, adding red curry and sauerkraut.
So, for $6 (added a drink), I found myself with some fairly unique dogs. They filled me, partially due to loading on about 6 toppings per dog, and I was satisfied. It's fairly rare in this city to achieve a varied and filling meal and drink for under $6.
One thing to note, there are no soft drinks here. Some basic juices and water, that's all.
I'd definitely stop by again!
