MISCHA in New York City had a $29 hot dog on it that all the press fawning. I just rolled my eyes.

I love Choripan.
This is the Choripan at Segovia in Toronto’s Kensington Market . Photo and words by Dr John.
I want a Sonoran dog.
My most recent hot dog was a Korean potato dog.

And now we have hot dog towers, a riff on the popular seafood towers.

Those are some expensive hot dogs. I think I’d rather indulge in the seafood for a few dollars more.
I wonder if this is an east coast phenomenon or the author didn’t survey the whole country?
I just checked. The seafood tower I used to enjoy every other year or so at Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington DC is now $270 for the big one and $182 for the mid-sized (no caviar) one. I think the big three tiered one we enjoyed was right around $100 in the 1990’s, but it did not have any caviar and it only had a small lobster tail.
Bring on the hot dog tower! Even at $35 for just 5 dogs, it is at least a reasonable splurge.

I am going to Der Wienerschnitzel. Four or five dogs is an order for one.

You’re showing your age! They dropped the “Der” nearly five decades ago!

My Mom, whose native language was German, used to say it that should’ve been “Das Weinerschnitzel” anyway.

I had something just like that potato thing from a food court place at Newport Beach Fashion Island a few months ago. Totally underwhelmed!!! Could have been the lack of good accompanying sauces but……. I think I’d only have another if I was being paid to.
Could have been worse. I could have referenced the dogs at Orange Julius!

I checked and nothing remotely near me. You can get the drinks only in a DQ. Far away.
Dang. I hate when that happens …
