....And a Side of Jersey, Please!

Texas Wieners: Growing up in Northern New Jersey and around some of the greatest hot dog places I find myself to be a very harsh critic when it comes to eating dogs.  The atmosphere has the down the block neighborhood shop feel, which I really enjoyed.  It doesn’t have the feel of some dark ominous bar where everyone glares at you the second you walk in.  As for the food, they boasted a pretty extensive menu for a hot dog place, which was a cool thing to see.  They even had a nice menu of dogs to choose from.  For my order I went with 1 with the works and 1 Texas Tommy.  The works was your classic Texas Weiner: mustard, onions and sauce.  There sauce was different in a way I was impartial too.  I would have preferred some good old-fashioned chili sauce.  The Texas Tommy was a dog with bacon and cheese.  Not something you should be eating on the daily.  The dogs came out and were on a small buns with the dogs cut in half, not something I was used to seeing but original nonetheless.  Overall, the dogs were okay.  They were grilled instead of my favorite deep-fried.  I also would have liked for the buns to be toasted to add some crispiness to the bite.  My recommendation is: If you’re in the area and need a quick bite then do it.  I wouldn’t travel out of my way to go here though.
