Hot Dog Of The Week Update

•Citizen's Bank Park - South Philly Dog

Phillies fans picked the South Philly with broccoli rabe, long hots and sharp provolone as their signature hot dog. I stole Chau's photos and turned it into Hot Dog Of The Week. I thought the big controversy would be about which dog they picked but instead it became a raging message board battle about the inferiority of skinless hot dogs.

• Fat Frank's - Bellows Falls, Vermont

This place was one of my favorites from a recent trip to New England. Natural casing dogs, new england buns, amazing house made chili cheese fries, and lots of local microbrews.

• Danny's Drive In - Stratford Connecticut

We hit a traffic Jam on I-95 on the way here from Vermont, had to pull off the highway and blow through a million red lights in a rented truck to make it before they closed. Risked life and limb but so worth it. Deep fried dogs on toasted rolls and heavenly slaw that tasted like vanilla.

Signature Dogs

Citizens Bank Park is a beautiful stadium. No bad seats in the house. Even though a hotdog is 5 bucks and it's been sitting in its own steamy foil sock, it is still delicious.

So imagine these super split down the middle grilled dogs with 3 topping choices that DON'T come in the foil sock, how delicious they are in the middle of the 3rd inning. We went with the Old Philadelphia and the Summer Dog. Both hands down delicious. They are at the Signature dog Hatfield stand in the 120'something section of the stadium and they are 5.75 each or you can get the 3 dog sample for 15 bucks. You can still get the just grilled with no toppings dog for 3.75 and you may as well, even that beats the foil sock dog.

Oh but back to the dogs, the summer dog is on a pretzel style roll which soaks up the habenero sauce and is pretty damned awesome with the cucumber hiding underneath the dog all crunchy like and cooooool. The Old Philadelphia I think is my favorite, seeded roll, pepper hash and half sours, almost as good as Hawk's house. No ketchup or mustard needed here.

Since this is DRAWING for food, which we all know is what Hawk and I do for a living sort of living, I guess, here are some drawings from the game.
