 FREAKY FRIDAYChili Dog Fridays at Pal's Take Away
Make your way to the deli counter inside Tony's Market to get Ryan Farr's chili-topped 4505 Golden
Dog, served with market-fresh toppings that could be anything from a tomato-corn relish to cheddar
cheese to kimchi—but not all three at once.
 WHERE THE WILD THINGS AREBroken Record's Wild Game Sausages
We wouldn't normally lure you out to a dive in the Excelsior, but you should know about sausages like
Cajun-smoked alligator, rabbit with brandy and plum, venison with cranberry, and pheasant with wine and goji

 MY BOLOGNA HAS A FIRST NAMEMortadella Dog at Boccalone
The original bologna (and we're not talking Oscar Mayer) now comes single serve. Come and get the
Mortadella Dog—a pillowy, Italian-sausage-sized blend of fat, meat and spice—served
with mustard and butter pickles on a long Italian roll. Run it back, or get a pack to grill at home.
 BRINGING HOME THE BACON4505 Meats Hot Dog at Wexler's
Not typically your FiDi power-lunch order, but the bacon-topped 4505 Meats Mission Dog
with caramelized onions and pickled Fresno chilies might be too hard to pass up. If not, get it for happy
hour and put your $1 savings toward another pint of beer.
 CARNIVAL TRICKCrispy Dogs at 15 Romolo
The tequila-bourbon Rio Grande is compelling enough, but 15 Romolo is also known for its
carnival-style bar bites like the Crispy Dog, a grass-fed Marin Sun Farms all-beef frank from
Fatted Calf wrapped in corn tortillas and fried. Throw in a little sriracha-spiked ketchup, and things start
to get a little crazy...
 TOP DOGKobe-Beef Hot Dogs at Absinthe
This made-from-scratch package by Top Chef alum Jamie Lauren, includes a Kobe beef, pork shoulder
and bacon-filled sausage served on a bacon-fat-rubbed bun with house-fermented sauerkraut, Guinness mustard
and home-fried yogurt-dill potato chips. Consider it your new meat and potatoes.
