Dogtown Dogs

I'm not really a fan of hot dogs, so I was hesitant to try Dogtown Dogs. I mean, when you can have a korean bbq taco or a banh mi, why would you choose a hot dog, right?

For the sake of research, I sucked it up and trekked my bootie to 350 Grand for a taste.

They have a clean & simple menu board, with descriptions of each dog kept at the ordering window.

I checked out their website before visiting and had my heart set on the Trailer Trash Dog.

Trailer Trash Dog

Heaven = Hot Dog + Chili + Nacho Cheese + FRITOS! Truly incredible

"Just Coworker" ordered the California Dog, which is topped with avocado, arugula, tomatoes, and fried onions.

California Dog

Despite the obvious fact that I ordered the "man" dog and he ordered the "girlie" dog, we both thoroughly enjoyed our selections. From the first bite, you can tell that the quality of the hot dog is top notch. I've never been the type to ask what a hot dog is made out of. But rest assured that if it's made out of cow hoof, pig tail, or bird beak, its the best quality hoof, tail or beak you've ever had. (I'm obviously joking...Dogtown Dogs uses quality all beef snap dogs).

Again, for the sake of research, we had to order one of the sides.

Tater Tots

These were tasty although I like The Grilled Cheese Truck's better. They were missing a bit of the crunch that makes tots so satisfying.

The thing that set Dogtown Dogs apart from the rest of the trucks was the service. By far, the most courteous service we've experienced since we started chasing. When the "super nice guy" working the window heard that were going to split the tots, he said, "I'll make sure it's a big order." Sweet.

Another great service perk was the way the food was packaged. Most trucks hand you their food without a bag, napkin, utensils, etc which leaves you fumbling as you walk away. Not Dogtown Dogs. They deliver your order in a perfect little package complete with everything you'll need to enjoy their food. As you can imagine, when I opened my Trailer Trash dog and saw what a beautiful mess it was, it dawned on me that I would need a fork & knife. Lucky for me, "super nice guy" had thought of that and included utensils in my bag. A+!

Bottom line:

Food: Excellent!

Service = Even better!

The winning ticket:

MEXICAN COKE!

Thank you, "super nice guy". Your food was most excellent. Dogtown Dogs wins my FAVORITE TRUCK thus far!
