Hot Dawg!

Date: May 16th, 2014

Location: Good Dog; Salt Lake City, UT

Contender: Blue Buffalo Dog

Some friends found a gourmet hot dog joint, and alerted me to the blue buffalo dog.  Clearly, this needed to happen.  So one fine Friday night, my loving husband picked me up a dog on his way back from an art stroll.

The menu says “Sabrett, Blue Cheese Crumbles, Buffalo Wing Sauce, Green Onion”.  I was excited about trying something a little off the beaten path.  I like all the ingredients, so why not?  Sadly, when my buffalo dog arrived, there were no green onions to be found.  I was disappointed, but I persevered.

The bun was kind of dry and meh.  The hot dog was OK, but a bit rubbery, even by hot dog standards.  I did very much enjoy the addition of the blue cheese and wing sauce.  It’s a bold menu option to throw out there, so I definitely give points for creativity.  I really missed the green onions.  I think the dog would have benefitted greatly from something green and crunchy, so I’m a little sad I didn’t get to experience the whole thing.  It also admittedly may have been better if I had eaten if fresh off the press rather than after a 15 minute car ride.  Nonetheless, I must rate it.
