Po Dogs in Seattle

Back at the end of January I was in Seattle with my friends Daniel and Tim for a couple gigs (Ceremony @ the Fusion Cafe and then forgetters at Vera Project the next night). When we arrived in Seattle we went to the university district to find this hot dog joint called Po Dog. I think Daniel had tried it before, but i know that i had been wanting to visit Po Dog for a while. Anyways, the food was delicious! Highly recommended, and they not only have the University location but also one up in Capitol Hill.
Their menu features a variety of tasty options for toppings and they have a few different choices for your weiner; Hebrew National all-beef Kosher, Field Roast Apple Sage Vegetarian, Uli's Famous Sausages: Chicken Apple, Polish Kielbasa, and German Bratwurst. For those who are unadventerous you can get a dog with just basic ingredients. Or you can order one of the more interesting ones, check out their menu to see what they offer
For my weiner choice i got the all beef kosher and went with the South of the Border Dog which came with homemade guacamole & pico de gallo, topped with sour cream.


I'm trying to remember what made the bun so special.. was it steamed? or grilled? Perhaps both? Either way, every single thing about this hot dog was incredible!! The dog had a great flavor, and a good snap when you bit it. The bun was tasty. And the toppings were flavorful and fresh. The guacomole was good, no big chunks of avocado (which i do enjoy if i'm using it with nachos). Some people might not like the mess that came with eating this dog, but those people should shut up. Sometimes eating food is messy, no big whoop.

Quick post here tonight, partially because my brother made me feel bad about not posting more. Trust me, i've got pictures of food and stories to share, but you'll have to be patient.

Tonight i present to you a picture of some lovely cupcakes my wife made last Halloween...


We got some mummies and monsters here... but even slightly more important, we got some yummy cupcakes!! They were moist and delicious, and they looked very cool.
