Move to Wordpress

Just because I like WordPress so much, and now that they have a WordPress iPhone application, I'm moving my blogs over there. If you've enjoyed "The Hot Dog I Ate" and want to continue reading about my friends and I's hot dog excursions, please visit us at our new location: http://thehotdogblog.wordpress.com/

Top Dog

Top Dog gives out free temporary tattoos! Sam's sporting a shoddily
applied one, thanks to my attention being focused on the hot dog and
not the instructions for the tattoo.

The idea of a dog topped with Boston baked beans was perfect--who
hasn't, as a child or adult, enjoyed that combo? I guess the reason
most kids enjoy it is because it's a pretty tame flavor, which I found
a little underwhelming. I was tempted to add mustard but the bun split
and everything became a mess after my first bite, so I decided against
it. The dog was pretty decent but they could do with a more
substantial bun, especially since their combos involve a lot of messy
condiments.

Sam and I visited Rockport this past Friday and, after enjoying the
transcendant lobster at Roy Moore's, Sam reminded me that there is a
hot dog stand just further up Bear Skin Neck. It took me all of ten
seconds to decide that a hot dog after lobster wasn't a bad idea.

What surprised me about Top Dog was that they offered all sorts of
interesting dog toppings, while I was expecting a pretty standard
offering. Top Dog has won several notices for their dogs, namely their
"gourmet" toppings. Sam convinced me to try the Boston Terrier, a
natural casing dog topped with baked beans on a grilled & buttered bun.
