March 16, 2008 – Montreal
Posted by Devin on March 19, 2008
Place: Le Neuveau Palais.
Dog Style: Processed
Bun Style: A slice of fried wonderbread.
Came With: Mustard, Ketchup, Coleslaw.
Cost: Low.
Condiments: Included.
My Thoughts: I wasn’t sure what to expect from the local all-night diner in Outremont, and I’m not sure what I got. It’s like they had only seen hot dogs in movies, and weren’t sure what all the parts were. First, the “bun” was a slice of white bread, fried, then folded in half. Sure we’ve done this at home when there’s nothing left to eat, but don’t we expect a bit more from a restaurant? Second, both the hot dogs were covered in a huge mound of coleslaw, like they had seen sauerkraut in photos, and tried to re-create it. While the overall appearance of these things was a bit off-putting, biting into warm fried bread into a thick layer of crunchy and cold coleslaw was really quite nice. Despite looking like Frankenstein, this hot dog had a heart of gold.
Rating: Surprising.
Left me feeling: Saturated with grease.
