Almost Famous

The Hungry Heretic is finally getting some hype! First it was featured on The Shed's facebook page, then on some random UK food blog called Chubbs and Chunks, and now on the wall of Dat Dog, one of my new favorite restaurants!

Apparently, Constantine Georges, one of the owners of Dat Dog found my post while googling his fine restaurant one night. Flattered by my raving revue he printed out my article and hung it up right next to a review from an actual publication! It's actually hung in two places, one is on the wall next to the counter and one is in the bathroom. I couldn't be happier to be someone's bathroom reading.

I discovered my new fame the other day when friends of mine saw my article hanging on the wall.

Of course, I had to thank the proprietors for being so kind so I naturally went right over to show my appreciation. Little did I know that Constantine would be such a warm and friendly man. He was so pleased to meet the girl who called his delicious dogs "orgasmic" that he told me next time I come in I get a dog on the house!

Hopefully there will be more friendly owners and free swag to come.

Happy Eating!

Dat Dog!!!!!

Whether you like hot dogs or you thinks they're disgusting, I guarantee you will LOVE Dat Dog, the adorable new restaurant on Freret. They serve up 10 varieties of hot dogs and sausages (all for 6 bucks or less). On top of these succulent links they pile the complimentary condiments high. The beautiful picture speaks for itself. This hot dog was seriously orgasmic. This Louisiana Hot Sausage is topped with horseradish, creole mustard, onions, chives, and diced tomatoes. This darn thing was so delicious I seriously found myself silent for just about the entire time I spent eating it. That good. Honestly the best part was the sourdough bread. So soft and squishy, the perfect amount of chewiness and fluffiness, it was like the best piece of bunny bread you could ever wish for, a little cloud like puff of sourdough goodness. I'm determined to find their bread supplier and make some bomb french toast, garlic bread, PB&J sandwiches, and texas toast with it. Definitely a new spot that everyone in the city should check out.
