My Thoughts: If there’s one thing I’ve learned during this trip, it’s that hipsters make good hot dogs. When I walked in, I was greeted by a friendly hipster who walked me through the overly-complicated hot dog creation process. I was in no mood to wait any more time than I had to before eating, so I left them up to her discretion. What emerged 5 minutes later were two mini-sausages on tiny rectangular buns, with a squirt of sauce on one side and cheese on the other. Not exactly the knife-and-fork ordeal that usually comes with a hot dog place. The buns had been cooked on a sandwitch press, and were made of a soft and thick sourdough. The sausages were small but flavourful, and well complimented by both the sauces and the cheeses. I was suprised, but the small amount of topping was the exact amount needed to make all the flavours come together, but stand out. This place was wonerful, and I highly reccommend it.
