Urban Dog

Last weekend i took a chance on an unknown food cart.
Urban Dog, a shiny steel «dog» cart specializing in encased meat delicacies, was parked on the corner of Thayer and Olive streets. I wasn’t sure what to expect, so I split a jumbo-​sized hot dog with my brother. Christian stacked on the toppings (relish, onions, sauerkraut, mustard) as I had requested, and split our hot dog in half for sharing ease, for just $ 3. I was with two adventurous friends who were willing to try the other types of sausages. The kielbasa is sliced in thick slabs on the spot and placed onto a side skillet to sizzle with roasted red peppers and spices. Once it’s piping hot, it gets nestled between a bun and can go naked or loaded with standard fare condiments. The traditional sausage was also very good, but the kielbasa – and it’s presentation – are my pick.
We started attracting people to come over and try the dogs. Great successes. My brother ended up getting another whole one just to himself.
I’m not sure if the cart is always there, but I’ve seen it during the week and weekends in the early afternoon (think when kids get out of school – like 3pm).
