Hot Dog of the Week: Cleveland’s Polish Boy

August 20, 2010 – 6:00 pm | by admin

“Even with all these other dogs in town, the Polish Boy is undoubtedly Cleveland’s signature dog.” [ Original artwork: Hawk Krall ] The few things I know about Cleveland come from reading Harvey Pekar’s (RIP) comics, an episode of No Reservations that also features Pekar, and watching Drew Carey at 1 a.m. before I had cable. Even so, I can tell it’s my kind of town—blue collar and chock full of history, eccentrics, and things that haven’t changed in 60 years. So it’s fitting that Cleveland’s signature dish is the Polish Boy: a grilled kielbasa on a hefty roll topped with cole slaw, a pile of french fries, and lubricated with generous amounts of barbecue and/or hot sauce. It’s a perfect representation of a city with a long history of Eastern European sausage-making and Southern-style barbecue, with a touch of Chicago thrown in for good measure (the “fries on the dog” style are reminiscent of Chicago’s minimalist ” Depression Dog ” joints). [ Photographs: Ryan Deussing ] The Polish Boy appears briefly on that same episode of No Reservations when Anthony Bourdain visits Hot Sauce Williams and tries one along with massive pulled pork sandwiches and plates of fried chicken. Iron Chef and Cleveland native Michael Symon also put…

Hot Dog of the Week: Dogmatic Gourmet Sausage System

April 17, 2010 – 12:01 pm | by admin

“It seems unfair to compare Dogmatic to other hot dog joints, because these aren’t exactly hot dogs.” [ Original art and photographs: Hawk Krall ] Past Weeks’ Dogs South Philly Dog Fat Franks El Completo Texas Tommy Red Snappers Chicago Dog A few weeks ago I found myself wandering around Manhattan, not even looking for hot dogs, and stumbled upon Dogmatic. I couldn’t resist giving it a shot. For some reason I had imagined a sort of hot dog automat, where a button is pushed and hot dogs magically appear in a small glass window. Soda machines where the cup drops down and a nozzle shoots it full of overflowing organic beverages. Not exactly the case but still a quick and easy process. You have your choice of pork, beef, chicken, turkey or lamb sausage, jammed into fresh baked mini baguettes. Then pick from the list of sauces: horseradish mustard, mint yogurt, chimichurri. I went for the classic beef sausage with truffle gruyere sauce. It was awesome. The food is ready almost instantly. A bit smaller than you might expect from the photos—those baguettes really are mini. But a perfect bite to grab on the go. I also tried the house-made coconut…

Hot Dog of the Week: Fat Franks

March 26, 2010 – 5:20 pm | by admin

“The menu has everything from the standard kraut and chili dogs to the signature blue cheese and bacon Fall Mountain Dog.” [ Original artwork and photographs: Hawk Krall ] On a recent New England hot dog excursion that included Pete’s in Newburgh, New York, and Gus’s mini dogs , the biggest surprise was the place I knew the least about. Expecting a run-of-the-mill, small-town hot dog joint, Fat Franks was anything but. Driving through the sleepy town of Bellows Falls, Vermont, you can’t miss the shimmering glass windows, memorable logo, and hot dog flag flapping in the wind. The menu is a bit overwhelming at first but the proprietors are friendly and happy to guide you through the process. If you’re just in for a quick bite, there are steamed self-serve “everyday dogs” for $1.50, which can be piled with toppings of your choice from the fixin’s bar. But what you really want are the all-beef natural casing dogs, available in both “skinny” and “fat” with a variety of toppings. Order up your dogs and head up to the second floor dining area with a view of the town and they’ll bring …

Hot Dog of the Week: Mini Dogs from Troy, New York

March 5, 2010 – 10:00 pm | by admin

[ Original artwork and photographs: Hawk Krall ] Past Weeks’ Dogs Tuscan Tony Zweigle’s Cincinnati Cheese Coney Texas Tommy Philly Dirty Water Dog Chicago Dog This week we follow the trail of Greek-owned New York state hot dog stands to the Troy/Albany area for a truly unique regional variation. Since the 1920s this region has been known for a handful of places that serve mini hot dogs, produced by local butcher shops and served on custom-made three-inch hot dog buns. Served with spicy meat sauce, onions and yellow mustard, they are normally eaten six or ten at a time and cost around 65¢ a piece. The first stand to become known for these mini hot dogs was New Way Lunch, opened in 1922 by Greek immigrant Strates Fentekes and his secret chili sauce recipe. Before the health codes kicked in, the cooks lined up the dogs on their bare arms (10 or 12 at a time) to be dressed with sauce and mustard in a procedure known as the “Hairy Arm.” New Way eventually became Hot Dog Charlie’s which now has…
