Is Hot G Dog A Worthy Successor To Hot Doug S

Approximately two and a half weeks after DNAinfo broke the secret about Hot “G” Dog, word had spread sufficiently that the place was half full at four o’clock on a Friday afternoon.

I feel like an ungrateful wretch for complaining about this, by the way, especially since, until I read the DNAinfo article a few weeks ago, I was in mourning for the juicy, garlicky Hot Doug’s thuringer, sure that I would never taste its like again. (The one at the Brauhaus just does not compare.) So let it be known that, even with a less snappy casing, Hot “G” Dog’s thuringer is still great and has assumed the Hot Doug’s thuringer’s place at the top of my list of favorite hot dogs.
