my dog's photo is gonna be up on the walls O:)

that's awesome, Q (though at first i was afraid that Hot Diggity Dog on Prospect. Ave & PPW was moving and i was going to cry)! and i like the photo of Kika (i spy with my little eye) they have in the article.

Oh, nice.
I love dogs, we have a Mutt, Golden-Airdale-Weaton mess of of a hairball.

I'll defenitely step by on opening day, what times are you open?
Are there any special ceremonies or stuff?

Thanks for the heads up.

oh no. no. just to clarify. it's not my store
by "we" i meant the crooklynian community "we"

If they deliver, I will be in heaven.

Hot dogs seem like a food that doesn't deliver well. (Like french fries.) But I'll be there.

I also want bratwursts. I was going to type "brats," but then someone would think I was advocating children behaving badly in restaurants, and then there would be a whole thing.

Oh God! If this is the same people over in WT-ugh! Awful, awful, awful! I gave them 3 tries and their dogs are just terrible! BLECH!

i can see myself hitting this place a lot, especially if they are open late, as a direct result of beer munchies at the Gate.

OK-just read the article and it's not those people in WT. thank goodness. OK, will check these people out, thanks

I hope they're as good or better as Gray's. I agree about the WT place, it's pretty bad.

ooh hotdogs! i can't wait to try it.

Dogs, brats, hope you have a beer license.
And plenty of Gulden's Spicy Brown!

i don't think the quality of the food is the selling point
it's like a bar. but with hot dogs.
but instead. the selling point is the sense of community
it's more for the opportunity to be social

meat is a selling point
can vegans have onion rings?

You misread me. Or I miswrote. Someone posted that she hopes that the hot dog place will deliver, as in to her house. Some foods work well for delivery, others not so well. (Onion rings, for instance, get soggy.)

And for me, the quality totally matters. I can be social plenty of places without eating a bad hot dog. Or I could, if I weren't a total misanthrope.

I had my first Crif Dog the other day, am now their biggest fan. I hope this new place gives them a go.

oh i forgot all about Crif dog. I lived down the block back in college. I wish they'd open a branch in brooklyn! man I want one now..

willie's had a trial run this weekend. and it was good

they bake their own buns. which aren't buns in the traditional hot dog sense
but more like hearty rolls. challah, rye, whole grain rolls in a hot dog bun shape

you can have this filled with either a meat hot dog, tofu dog, or a marinated grilled carrot
and your choice of toppings, from blue cheese to onions to whatever you wish
a dog will cost you from $2 - $4 depending on the toppings
kinda like starbucks. but with hot dogs...

they open up valentine's day. and are located a couple of stores to the left of pink pussycat

i had a drunken field day at Crif Dogs the other night. allegedly i went there before, during, and after the Hop Devil Grill, eating at least one dog and one order of fries each time, dogs with at least three toppings!

i woke up and had chili and cheese in my beard.

Has anyone been to Willie's since it opened? How are the dogs, how are the desserts?

a grilled carrot?

Yeah seriously, that better be sum damn good carrot!

They have tofu dogs. Sweet. I'm there. Can't wait to try it.

Subject: We tried Willie's

We went to Willie's on Sat afternoon to try it out - I had the "pedigree" (all beef dog) and my girlfriend had the tofu dog...both awesome. Lots of topping choices, we both went with the salsa which was very good.

Finished the meal with an gooey fudge brownie, delicious. I think this place will do well once they find their rhythm and the regulars at the Gate begin patronizing it. What's better than beers and dogs?

beers and boobs?
