Hot Doug's ?

The first time I heard the name of this Hot Dog joint, sounded just like any other place that serves you're regular hot dog's and fries, and burgers and sandwiches... wait, I thought they are a hot dog joint?

Hot Doug's does one thing, and one thing only, Hot Dogs. This is the one time when putting all you're eggs in one basket has actually paid off. Once you stop thinking of the beautiful Keira Knightley, formerly known as Jennifer Garner and Britney Spears, (Name's of hot Dogs), you need to take the time to actually decide what hot dog you want to try. They stay true to the basics, the good ol Chicago style, or the chili dog. Now, the more adventurous could always venture into the unknown, by trying the cognac-infused lamb/pork sausage or the Foie Gras and duck sausage. But at the end of the day, whatever route you decide to take, the path most taken or the path least taken...the final destination is always the same, "Pure Bliss".

They even have a bonus system attached to all this. If you happen to stumble into this place on a Friday or Saturday, well you're in for a treat. For just those 2 days, they serve fresh cut french fries deep fried in duck fat. Now I don't know about you, but when I read, "fat", "fried" and "duck" in one line, I have the same reaction that Ivan Pavlov's dog had when he rang the bell. The fries are crisp on the outside, flavorful and tender on the inside, just the way they were meant to be. The duck fat gives it that extra kick, which it's been begging for, since they realized how to make a starchy potato even more un-healthier.

So if you're in the mood for some gourmet street food, Doug's the place to go. :)
