Hot Dogs. The New Meat Candy.

May I introduce to you a little hole in the wall bar in Farrell, PA called Basilones. Check out the recipe card at a booth I sat at:


Look at those prices will ya. Inexpensive. I ordered a Kraut Dog, Hot Hot Dog, and a Margie Dog.

I am picky about my kraut and should had asked, but Basilones makes their own kraut like an old German lady does. It is good and then gets bad quick. I like my rotten cabbage from a can.

The Hot Hot wasn't bad. Bunch of banana peppers that have been stewed with an Italian red sauce and then topped with something hot.


This last dog, the Margie Dog should be entered into the best hot in the world contest. This thing had a blend of flavors and textures only a kid with ADD could appreciate. So much was going in in my mouth, soft bun, slimy peppers, something spicy hot, graininess of the chili, and a small sliver of provolone cheese and then the juicy yummy hot dog. What a combination of happiness for my mouth to devour. I highly suggest you try a Margie Dog. My mouth is begging for more.


Glorious: The one on the left is the Margie Dog.

I have to give big props to Bonnie my co-worker who led me to this fine hot dog establishment. Only 4 days into this ride and I am sure that nothing will top the Margie Dog.

This is also my last post until Next week when I will start eating homemade hot dogs. I will be visiting various butchers and grocery stores for the best wieners and franks I can find.

Ahh sweet sweet scrumptious Margie Hot Dog.
