Snack Attack: Asia Dog






I love street food. Lucky for me, the Governors Ball Music Festival this past weekend had a very Googa-Mooga-like feel to it with all the food trucks and pop-up food stands. Luke's Lobster, Korilla (Korean tacos), Cool Haus ( ice cream sammies), Little Muenster (fancy grilled cheese), Mile End (deli sammies), and Crif Dogs (fancy hot dogs) were all there for the sampling desires of muddy, sweaty concertgoers (all good choices BTW).  It was perfect weather for a hot dog and I've never tried Asia Dog before, so I knew where I was headed. You have your choice of beef, chicken, veggie and organic beef for the dog, so in the words of Tangina from Poltergeist, all are welcome.

The emphasis here is on Asian-style ingredients but they do not stop there. Expect the unexpected-- I had  the Mash (see below left)  which is topped with sweet and spicy ketchup, jalapeno mustard, and crushed potato chips.  It was fantastic and had a nice kick. Also, I love potato chips on things--I don't need to be fancy all the time.  I also had the WangDing (center), which comes with bbq pork belly, cucumber & scallions. It's basically a pork bun on Viagara, and I was pleased. Do your taste buds a favor and check them out this summer-- it won't break the bank. :)

  1. I do love a good dog and I also do not need to be fancy all the time. Potato chips on a dog, yes please.
