I've been trying to make it to a 'gourmet' hot dog place in Pittsburgh ever since I visited one in Chicago.
I loved the menu. Some great drink options as well. Got there late-ish. Maybe 9:00 on a Saturday. Looked like a nice crowd, but no wait. Got good service and really enjoyed the food.
I got the Pittsburgh dog, (pierogie and slaw) and loved it. Kind of a primanti's goes to Poland feel. Vinegar slaw with red cabbage paired well.
Poutine (Québecois) had a lot of pepper and thyme, but on a cold winter night it hit the spot.
From the bar, I got a "Nuts for Fall"...house alond bourbon, house cinnamon apple shrub, bourbon barrel aged maple syrup, Peychaud's. It was good, but not great, and I was already mildly intoxicated. I figured I'd quit while I was ahead and left half of it behind.
It was a nice departure from some of the haute cuisineries (yeah...I'm sticking with that) I've been frequenting lately, and proves you don't have to be fancy to be good.
