All Sorts of Wrong

Imagine if you will...

Going to check out a new neighborhood joint, the Fat Dog, just north of Melrose on Fairfax...

Ordering the Fat Dog, described as a grilled beef hot dog w condiments...(nothing more)

Then watching your waitress cross the entire restaurant with a GIANT 12-inch hot dog on a small

6-inch bun that serves no other purpose, but to accentuate the size of this OBSCENE piece of meat.

I have never in my life EVER blushed at food, but there really is a first time for everything.

When the waitress asked if I needed anything else, I replied... my dignity back.

I promptly (faster than ever in my life) cut the damn thing in half, then half again

and tried vainly to make the hot dog fit somehow in the bun, but to no avail...

It was impossible to eat with any decorum and it wasn't tasty enough to compensate.

Enough meat for 2 hungry people - but only barely enough bun for 1/2

The bun isn't cut all the way thru, great for showing GIRTH, not so great for eating like a human being.

Not once was I told how big this monstrosity was going to be! I'm a small person, after all.

This is the most illogical and overpriced ($10 and $4 for ice tea, yeah) hotdog EVER.

Until next time... Miss Absinthe

Yummy on a Bun x 2

Fresh lobster + toasty bun + butter = sheer shellfish heaven.

The lobster roll from the Lobsta Truck isn't cheap $11,

but a good value as the sweet lobster is generous. I've had it twice already!

My only complaint is waiting time seems longer than necessary.

I'm always on the lookout for a tasty hotdog and The Greasy Wiener is a new favorite.

For under $6 I got the original greasy wiener

(mustard, grilled onions and a pickle spear),

without any extra toppings (as I like my food simpler), and a soda.

It was so tasty (very flavorful/well seasoned dog), it really didn't need anything else.

I raved about this for days (and craving the next)... a hot dog!

Until next time... Miss Absinthe
