HOT DOGS V. TACOS

There's a Chinese restaurant near my work that offers hot dog fried rice. I guess that's what I'll have for
breakfast.

I made veggie tacos tonight - sweet potatoes, carrots, onions, corn, greens, feta:

succotash!

I would like to eat yr veggie tacos.

i just made tacos too, ha.

oh no you didn't

torta with hot dog in it

Have you seen this? My roomie got a torta cubana a while back and instead of ham it had two hot dogs sliced lengthwise. Really weird but he ate it.

i wouldn't fuck with that

i might vote gyros over both of these but maybe it's because i haven't had a gyro in a while :(

i'd grind that shit up int oa paste and spread it between two other tortas... xp

last gyro i had was really disappointing... really obvious "mystery meat" shit that tastes of preservatives & salt.

i don't remember the last gyro-qua-gyro i had, but my local shawarma place is completely awesome.

shawarma proper is almost always better than "gyro meat"

Real gyro/schwarma is when the meat is stacked up on a spit then cut vertically, but I have a newfound respect for the processed/ground meat then formed into loaf and placed on spit or even just cooked up on the grill since I've made it a habit to visit my local chicken and lamb over rice combo cart, the Vendy-award winning Sammy's Halal.

I don't know how the other locations are, but the one on Broadway and 73rd in Jackson Heights is truly serving food of the gods.

this dude philemon has opened shawarma/falafel joints in at least 3 different locations in this city over the past 1 1/2 - 2 years, every place though he remembered me & my crew and made us turkish coffee and hung out with us. the fucking spinning meat sword is unfuckwithable.

you can put anything on a hot dog you can put on a taco

this just made me imagine a "fish hotdog" and I'm not sure how I feel about that

I voted tacos, btw, because -- to me -- hot dogs are an awesome fast/cheap/street/fun food, simple and great, but tacos can both do that and rise to the level of a fine, fine meal.

(NB it's kinda interesting might right now to think that if you made a fine hot dog out of the best and most sophisticated material, it probably wouldn't really be considered a hot dog anymore; I can't really tell if that's just an issue of language or if it says something about the notion/category of a "hot dog.")

i have had a hot dog as a fine, fine meal

I just had oxtails with avocados and it was nuts

this just made me imagine a "fish hotdog" and I'm not sure how I feel about that

ha I went here yesterday and someone linked a picture of a fish stick on a bun

I had some frankfurters on a cold day in the Nachmarkt in Vienna a couple of years ago alongside some tafelspitz. They weren't hot dogs, per se, but they were the best frankfurter sausages I've ever had.

I've had fish sausages before. They did not appeal to me.

xxxxxxxxp
i always tried to avoid eating indian food on devon, due to the preponderance of indians that lived there

where else than devon to get good, cheap indian food?

I've had salmon sausages that were ok, but baja-style fish tacos are one of the perfect foodstuffs.

I'm in East LA

I made soyrizo breakfast tacos for dinner and they tasted like hot garbage. that stuff just overpowers everything

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Dude, the results of this poll are going to be like...earth ending.

Watch out, Chicago. LA is sharpening its tacos.

torta with hot dog in it

Have you seen this?

Yeah, I feel like it's usually called "torta la loca" or something and has a breaded cutlet, some ham or something, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, crema, queso fresco, jalapenos, and then a split hot dog or two. When you're eating it you don't really sense the hot dog qua hot dog so much, it's just kind of a big disgusting awesomeness that comes at you whole.

Tried to have Chicago Dogs for the supper tonight but just couldn't pull it together. No sport peppers, out of relish, underripe tomato, foolishly decided to toast and then accidentally overtoasted the "wheat" buns. At least I had the all-beef frank and Plochmann's mustard. Still basically a travesty and I feel shame for having eaten them.

also xpost I used to get hotdogs in Tijuana all the time. The dog is bacon-wrapped and served with mayo. Plus onions and all that. Best ever.

you know what made me sad about all the rain we got this week was that it meant that the hotdog vendor wasn't across the street from my store all week. so, that is where my heart is. i wouldn't have been so sad if a taco vendor was forced to stay home. if it was burrito -vs- hot dog i might have had to think twice. mmmm, steak burritos at the mexican place down the street are way yummy. haven't even tried their tacos yet.

although to be honest i am all about the hot dog vendor's hot sausage with peppers and onions. as opposed to his hot dogs. but his hot dogs are good too. very long and crunchy.

crunchy! scott, can you get "saugy" brand dogz in MA? i think they might be a rhode island only thing, but you should look for them if you are ever at a stop & shop in the ocean state.

http://www.saugy.net/

mmmm, i will. pittsfield mass used to have a famous crunchy hot dog place. don't know if it's still there. my dad would drive us there when we were kids.

saugy's have a really good natural casing kind of snap to 'em. i love it. in fact, i wish i had some right now.

yeah, that's what i mean by crunchy. the casing.

voted hot dog because i am half-Chilean and always enjoy something looking roughly like these photos when I'm back in the old country:

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

basically

i assumed tacos would win, but i at least hoped for a good fight from the dogz. especially with tomorrow being you know, the fourth and not cinco de mayo.
