Let's Be Frank...

As I've mentioned before, hot dogs are just one of my many weaknesses.  I live for $ Dog Night at the ball park and BBQ season...heaven!  And, while I love The Dapper Dog to bits, a girl needs more options.  Thankfully, some others agree.

That wonderful man who always satisfies are tummies, Jose Garces, serves up Hot Dog Days for lunch at Garces Trading Company on the same days that Citizens Bank Park hosts Dollar Dog Night.  I've been/I've tired them/they're delicious.  For $9 you get the tastiest dog you've ever had paired with a beer of your choice and chips.  And if you're feeling the need to indluge, $15 gets you two dogs and a beer.  A bit pricey for a frank, but oh-so-worth-it.  The next lunch special is offered 5/23 for those who are curious and eager to try.

And, I just heard that South Street will be welcoming a new hot dog joint called, Hot Diggity, on the 600 block.  They plan to open sometime in June and will have about 10 different dogs on their artfully crafted menus designed by Philly artist/hot dog of the week columnist, Hawk Krall.  I'm envisioning something similar to Sketch Burger, perhaps, but obviously with hot dogs instead of burgers.

It's the year of the dog!

Taco vs. Dog

Tonight, chef Jose Garces has tweeted, that Guapos Tacos will be serving up their late night dishes on 2nd and Poplar in Nolibs.  What does this mean for The Dapper Dog stand?  Will they be able to handle the Iron Chef and his nifty/bedazzled truck?  I smell/already taste a fierce competition tonight.  Having already experienced the tastiness that The Dapper Dog has to offer, I am eager, as always, to find out what Garces has in store for Nolibs, and which late night food truck I prefer!

All About the Dog

After a late night of dancing at 700 Club with my favorite ladies, I experienced The Dapper Dog for my very first time on the wobbly stroll home.  I don't enjoy admitting this, but hot dogs are one of my top weaknesses.  So, scooping up a few of these delicious dogs from the cart at 2 am after several drinks and hopefully after burning several calories from dancing, seemed like the greatest idea we had since we decided to drop it like it's hot.  A few words of advice however regarding The Dapper Dog, 1.  Do not wear a white winter coat while consuming 2. Flash those pearly whites ladies, those hot dog makers are suckers for giving out freebies 3.  It is okay to approach a truck with strangers inside as long as they have hot dogs (avoid strangers with candy), and lastly 4. As delicious as they are, try not to consume more than one.  Like most of the decisions you make the night before after a few shots of tequila, you will regret this in the morning too.
