Hot Doug's Rebirth?

[VeryApe77]

Ate at the new Hot Doug's last Saturday (and will most certainly eat there tomorrow). I really like the new space a lot. Although we were in line for quite a long time, I was surprised at how easy it was to get a seat once you had given your order. This was certainly not the case at the last place. We split the Pheasant Sausage with blue cheese and the Duck Sausage with foie gras, goats cheese, sauternes and white truffle oil. Both were really good, especially the latter (although, as Doug himself said, using those ingredients is kind of like cheating). Also had the duck fat fries which were as good as ever and the normal fries too, which made for a nice contrast.

Incidentally, my girlfriend was there this Monday (her third visit since it reopened) and she saw Homaro Cantu there. Or maybe it was a similar looking chap who was also called Homaro Well, however it was, hopefully he enjoyed his sausage.

I made it out to Hot Doug's to day. The line was long, but at least we didn't have to wait outiside in the 10 degree whether for too long. Anyway, after a long wait, the food was worth it. I'm a first timer, but the new place seemed looks pretty nice.

Anyway, I had a Chardog which was good, a pork dog, which was really really good, and a smoked rattlesnake dog which was very good.

Its definitly a cool place and I can tell I'm going to love the "Game-Dog" of the week. Looking forward to getting down there again.

We hit Hot Dougs yesterday-- the line was very short for a Saturday. One interesting development-- Doug has started to get exclusive sausages custom-made to his recipes. Several weeks ago my husband, who has developed a major Hot Dougs obsession, had an encased Ruben that was quite delicious. It had corned beef sausage (another exclusive) and was topped with sauerkraut and Russian dressing. Yesterday we had the exclusive rib-eye sausages with chimichurri-- delicious, but a bit rich. I can't wait to see what Doug dreams up next.

Thanks for the snapshot, iguana. That reuben sounds simply glorious

A friend's wife has been absolutely jonesing on HD's since it reopened, hitting almost weekly and giving it high praise. My friend told me even the cold leftovers she brought home were great.

I hit this spot for the encased rib-eye w/ jimi hendrix, err 'chimichurri' sce. The dog did hit the spot and made me feel rich! The line on Monday @ noon was out the door, the wait was not bad. I, too, look forward to Doug's next dog of inspiration.
