Hooked Up and Hungry



Copyright Insanity Infusion

We got our new cell phones yesterday. His and Her. It was painless and the woman who helped us get it all set up was wonderful - down to earth, realistic, didn't play any games.

Afterwards we were hungry and my husband had a taste for hotdogs. We walked home from the Cingular Store and hopped in the car. We just decided to drive down the main street..."Let's head south. We're bound to find something sooner or later!"

And sure enough, not many minutes later, we passed a hotdog + miscellaneous type restaurant/dive. After some persuasion, I talked my husband into just giving the place a try.

"C'mon! It can't be ~that~ bad!"

"Uh but what about ~that~ restaurant (he points to one a little further down and more established looking)...or ~that~ one, or ~that~?"

"C'mon!"

"Okay okay."

So in we went, and wow it was sooo clean and had clean high chairs and cozy intimate booths! It wasn't at all how I expected. And my husband was thankful that it wasn't what he had expected either.

The prices were more than reasonable and the food was great.

You can get four Chicago Style hot dogs (100% beef hot dog, mustard, diced onions, relish, dill pickle slice, sliced tomatoes, hot peppers, and celery salt), two LARGE bags of fries (made fresh with the skins still on some of the ends), two 24oz sodas for 8 dollars!....AND...for 5 dollars more we could have added a pitcher of beer!

~five bucks for a pitcher of beer~

My husband and I had to laugh! The service was outstanding. Friendly. And when we told them they were out of ketchup at their condiment station, they immediately gave us ketchup packets so we wouldn't have to wait for them to fill the dispenser.

I know it's just a little food dive that I'm more thrilled about than I probably should be...but sometimes it's the little things in life that can make you smile the most.

Cool phone! And I'm really seething with unjustified GRRRRR right now since you were posting about CHICAGO STYLE HOT DOGS. Did you know that no one out here has even heard of sport peppers?? What the h-e-double-hockey-sticks??
