This weekend I decided to go back to some old favorites from childhood--hot dogs! Now that I live in San Francisco and I'm an adult, I guess I have to do it the grown up way with #68 the housemade hot dog at Absinthe. But first, I need a ginger beer...
Ahh...that's the ticket!
How could a hot dog possibly be worth $12? I had been pondering this for a couple of days. I was raised on the Oscar Mayer $1.99 pack. Good, old-fashioned and cheap.
Well, I found it. A hotdog good enough to pay $12 for. It arrived in all it's hot doggy glory with a side of warm dill potato chips. You read that right. WARM DILL POTATO CHIPS. Don't ask why, but suddenly the chips were elevated to a whole new level of comfort. There was also a side of--I think--sauerkraut but it was really more salty and not sour at all so I will refer to it ongoing as saltkraut.
Housemade hot dog plate with saltkraut cropped out...ugh!
I prefer hot dogs with everything, mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, cheese, bacon, sauerkraut, all of that garbage. If you're going to do it, you might as well do it right, but if you are in the mood for more refined, yet every bit as delicious, I would definitely recommend the Absinthe hot dog.
Love,
Rebecca
Okay, maybe it was a bit sour.
