Sonny's Hot Dogs, Neptune


     Sonny's was the only stop on the 14th Annual NJ Hot Dog Tour that served Italian hot dogs.  Pricey at $8.25 but comes with 2 dogs, peppers, onions and potato slices.  The roll is not quite traditional, being more like a small loaf of bread than typical pizza dough.  The taste was a substantial redeeming quality however, providing a variety of flavors and textures as you work your way through your meal.

     They offer a Sabrett all beef 8:1 natural casing dog that is served "dirty water" style, but they offer the option of throwing it on the grill before serving.  Their menu offers 30+ signature dogs see below), some of which border on excessive creativity.  I ordered a grilled dog with BBQ onions.  It was tasty but not extraordinary for the $3.50 price tag.  It seems like they rely on the toppings to "Wow" their customers rather than highlighting the dawg, though I will report that many folks were hooked!

     ***  Item to note:  As of March 2018, Sonny's has closed this location as they felt the establishment was lost in the large shopping center.  They are looking for a new venue to re-open with a fresh start.  More to come as I learn details...
