New York is crushing on the hot dog right now (witness this and this). As a result, Wen and I decided to devote Saturday to eating hot dogs.
Our first stop was at Dogmatic near Union Square. You get to pick your dog (i.e., pork vs. beef vs. lamb, etc.) and then pick your sauce (e.g., truffle & gruyere, yogurt, etc.). I had the lamb & yogurt and it was a smashing success. The bun is great too: it’s a half a baguette:
Dogmatic also gets bonus points for their interior: you sit at a monolithic shared table:
Later we headed over to Brooklyn Flea to check out Asia Dog‘s unique dogs. Check out their flavours:
We split the vinh and the ito. Next time I’m trying the wangding-although it requires a run first:
These hot dogs are definitely the taste of the summer.
