It is with excitement and anticipation I get to announce the dramatic conclusion of my quest of the perfect roller dog. Drum roll please.... no? alright how about hands banging on a desk? ...please.....no seriously do it. Now that you are in such a frenzy; I (and my colon) are pleased to announce that the Bucky's at 108th and L has trumped all roller dogs in the Omaha Metro area. 4 kinds of hotdogs, buns in plastic containers housed in a warmer with steam to keep them fresh, and the kicker?.....condiments. We are talking pump and packet ketchup, mustard, etc. Fresh diced onions, jalapenos, sauerkraut, sweet peppers, relish, sweet relish, numerous other sauces and a sweet prep area where the magic happens. Below average price and you are in gas station hotdog heaven (which i suppose may be the very lamest heaven but who am I to judge?)
This mega convenience store arose from the concrete of 108th St like a ,...oh forget it. I didn't want to go to another Quick Trip and deal with their magic so I ran in there on a whim....or fate? I probably fit right in since I walked up to the hotdog mecca and smiled while I stewed over my choices in taking full advantage of their 2 for $2.22 special. I happily paid and when i walked out I said, "Congrats Mark (that was the name on the shirt) you win." I only have to assume he hears this all of the time because he pretended ignore me and look puzzled. Never the less I thanked him for his part in my happy ending * and strolled out the door satisfied *.
Luckily I still have a few days in this odyssey to try out some other locals suggested to me over this month. You have not heard the last of the pig.
2 at Shell near 114 and Dodge. pitiful excuse for a dog. and the clerk now knows it.
2 at Hy Vee gas 90th and Center. Not terrible but not cooked. There was a sign that said "hotdogs behind this sign are ready." I assure you they were not ready despite the signage. A friendly smile in every aisle huh? ....perhaps there is, but its a dirty, whorish, lying smile.
