Captain Paul's Firehouse Dogs

[Rich Pawlak]

This new place just opened near my home, and is serving up some tasty dogs in the tradition of Russ Ayres in Bordentown, a classic old hot dog stand. Open just a few weeks, it's doing brisk business at lunch and through the afternoon. The twins love the dogs here,, so dad is more than glad to make this a regular lunch stop.

Captain Paul is Paul Tweedly, an earnest hot dog fanatic, and he serves up his dogs with care and pride. He serves 4 variations of a Hatfield beef and pork boiled hot dog, and he claims that he does not let them sit too long in the water, so they do not get soggy and unappetizing.

The Full Box is a dog topped with yellow mustard, chopped onion, relish and kraut.

The Fire Alarm is a dog topped with cheese

The Second Alarm is a cheese dog topped with good spicy chili sauce

The Third Alarm is a chili dog with mustard and chopped onion.

He also serves Gelato's home made Italian ices and ice cream (six different sundaes), smoothies, milk shakes, and root beer floats. He will soon add chocolate dipped frozen bananas, ice cream sandwiches and "cannnoli pops". Oh man.

So far so good for Captain Paul's. Good fresh dogs, fresh rolls, lots of enthusiasm. He says he plans other variations as he watches the business flow.

My daughter, husband and three granddaughters live nearby, and I expect to be there very soon.

I think this is the place that used to sell just gelato, and I was there several times with the girls.

Thanks for the information.

It is indeed, and it still seems affiliated with the Gelato's chain, but now with Capt. Paul's dogs. Still has gelatos and ice cream. Just down the street from my house too.
