Happiness is...Po Dog

It's 1:30 am.  You've been pack like a sardine for hours in dimly lit bar rooms.  You've had some drinks (many drinks).  You're wandering the dark city streets, trying to get the pounding disco music out of your head.

You need Food.

You need Food in a Bun.

You need a Hot Dog. 

You need to get yo' butt to Po Dog.

You need to get there Now!

Po Dog is intimate, quirky (with it's 12ft. pixelated portrait of a pug), industrial, minimalistic, and quite possibly has The Best Wallpaper EVER:  a Black & White pattern of Colt 45's, Bullets and Floral Print.

Luvs It!!!



What's Good:

The hot dogs are big and juicy and served on a grilled, slightly sweet, brioche bun.

You've got your choice of Kosher Franks, Brats, Polish Dogs, Chicken Sausages, or Vegetarian Weiners.


Icy cold bottles of Mexican Coke to wash it all down.


What We Had:
BLTA DOG
Pepper Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, and Avocado
The veggies make it good for you.

DUB-T DOG
(minus the Ketchup)
Cheese Sauce, Yellow Mustard, and Crushed Potato Chips!!!
I had this one!

DEEP FRIED DANGER DOG
Wrapped in Bacon & Deep Fried!!!
Topped with sauteed Onions and Chili Sauce

Tasty? Yes. 
But I don't think you should make a habit of this one.

CHICAGO DOG
Spicy Mustard, Tomatoes, Sweet Relish, Onions,
Dill Pickle, Hot Sport Peppers, and Celery Salt

It was like having a salad on top of your hot dog!

Really Good Salty Fries.
One order was enough for 3 of us to share.

I still have many reasons to keep going back to Po Dog:

*I need to get an order of Deep Fried Pickles.
*I need to hit it on a day when they have the Mac-n-Cheese Dog...Oh yes!
*I need to try the Morning Glory Dog:  Scrambled Eggs, Bacon, and Cheddar Cheese.
*I need time to work up the courage to try the Peanut Butter and Banana Dog.

Don't worry.  The Swedish Hospital ER is only a few blocks away.
