Hot Dog Happiness

We almost missed out on our WW experience today. Zach "wiener woofer" Alter had back-to-back meetings and put the royal kibosh on our WW outing. This was unfortunate for many reasons; the main one being that no one else had a say, nor had they brought anything to eat for lunch. Lucky for us: the clock struck wiener:thirty and Zach skipped down the hall with a kielbasa in his step! He was ready to rumble, as was his gut.

We had about 30 minutes to find our next hot dog venue and get back to the office for Zach's next meeting, which meant we were basically going to have to participate in our very own little hot dog eating contest. The next "new" venue was 11 miles away, and since we didn't want to have to dip our buns in water and swallow the dog whole, we decided "why break something you can't fix" - and we hit up the Hot Dog Stop once again! We had already said we wanted to come back, so today was the day. Plus, we had our newest members attend, so this time we got to sit at a table of 6 instead of 4.

This place never ceases to amaze us. It is hot dog heaven; they have a hot dog condiment bar AND a hot dog condiment station!! 
Condiment Bar & Condiment Station, Sigh
Orders were placed as follows:

Alex "tba": Philly dog (grilled onion, green & red peppers, sans bun)
Amy "plain jane-dog": Grilled dog with regular french fries (she hit up the condiment station & condiment bar for some onions & ketchup)
Sara "queener": Grilled dog with sweet potato fries (she also hit up the condiment station & condiment bar for some ketchup, mustard, spicy red pepper, celery salt & garlic salt)



Renee "chode-chomper": BLT dog (bacon wrapped all beef dog, lettuce, diced tomato, mustard in a tortilla)


Zach "wiener woofer" & Ashley "tba": French Dog Special (Polish Sausage in a french baguette, covered in mozzarella cheese)




Zach continually orders the absolute best item on the menu at Hot Dog Stop. He is a true aficionado, and we usually have the utmost respect for the orders he places during our lunchtime routine. However... we all thought it was a little unusual that his hot dog & fries & soda meal deal came to $6 and some change... and then 15 minutes later he was rung up at the counter again with a whopping $12 fee! He spent majority of his lunch money on the candy & crap buffet. (picture below).


Second Visit to Hot Dog Stop: 8.75 / 10

Because we are all adults, I don't think I need to point out the obvious. However, one of these pictures is not like the other... and I'm not too happy with the person who bypassed their bun & candy buffet, and ordered a big... apple.
tsk tsk



All Queener wants for Christmas is her very own hot dog vendor truck on wheels!
