August 29 - German Dogs
After two pretty weak single-dog days I decided to step it up a bit and seek out some authentic German sausages. Wound up at a place called "German Restaurant" in Stone Mountain, GA. Clever name, eh? A bit of a haul out there from our place, and it you always risk bumping into a Civil War reenactment driving through Stone Mountain, but the trip was totally worth it. First of all, this place had a really interesting and impressive beer menu. For an appetizer they brought us a huge frickin' pretzel -- the most awesome pretzel I had ever seen or tasted:
I ordered a sausage plate for lunch with Knackwurst and Weisswurst. They were sausagey and delicious.
Per the USDA conversion rates, I get to add a total of three to my count. Hot dog count: 59.
August 30: Well-Paired Dogs
We spent the day at a friend's house, hoping to swim, but Mother Nature had different plans. No disappointment here: our hosts were thoughtful enough to serve hot dogs and sausages for lunch! Even more impressive, they paired the dogs with bottles of Duck Horn and Silver Oak. Sort of like wearing a tuxedo to a hoe-down, but hey - it worked.
Hot dog count: 61.
Dog on...for one more day...
