While in the neighborhood (reasonably) I had a hankering for a dawg and had heard good things about Hot Grill. I flipped on the GPS and quickly arrived. I was surprised that the only hot dog they offer is the Texas Weiner but was happy to give it a try. They deep fry a Sabrett pork/beef dog, add spicy brown mustard, finely chopped onions and a nice, thick Paterson-style chili.
I found the weiner too have a pretty high concentration of onions which seemed to be very sweet, almost like a Vidalia. Perhaps my tastebuds were extra sensitive that night but the taste of the onions dominated all else. I did make sure to isolate a mouthful of chili and it was very tasty. I grew up on the more bland, tomato-based chili (native New Yorker!) but I am growing fond of the cinnamon and cumin found in these spicy chilis. All in all, a good dog that satisfied my hankering!
