As everyone knows, this has been a brutally cold winter. I think it is safe to say that everyone is sick of the snow, bitter winds, and negative temperatures…even those who are crazy enough to claim to love winter. With Major League Baseball season just 33 days away, everyone is ready for snapbacks, sunlight, and most importantly hot dogs. Now let me be real with y'all, I do not like hot dogs. The only way I eat those things is if it is deep fried and made into a corn dog or wrapped up like a pig in a blanket…until now.
My home away from home Blackstone is getting in the Spring spirit and doing a hot dog special tomorrow, Feburary 27th! When I first heard about a hot dog special I was a little taken aback by the idea, until I heard and saw what they were going to be. I introduce to you...
Gourmet Hot Dogs
 |
| "Hopped Up Dog" This frank is bacon wrapped (lets be real…that should get your attention already), then topped with house-pickled jalapeños, cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, and zesty hopped-up mustard all housed inside a toasted poppy seed bun. |
 |
| "Champions Dog" This dog is accompanied by maple glazed ham, caramelized onions , arugula, tomatoes, garlic béchamel*, and crushed pineapple and most importantly topped with an oven poached egg and snuggled in a toasted poppy seed bun. * béchamel: a rich white sauce made with a roux of butter and flour that is seasoned and cooked in milk |
I am ready to get down and dirty to try both of these guys and most importantly you should too!
Now I know your next question is, what in the world am I going to wash these bad boys down with? Well, Blackstone has you covered there too. At 3pm, they are going to tap some delicious brewskies to quench your thirst.
The showstopper here is the Toppling Goliath's KingSue. It is a double version of their very popular PseudoSue and very limited. Blackstone is only getting one keg…I repeat ONE keg. The other beers being tapped are Confluence Milk Man Stout, Millstream Johns White Ale, as well as a very limited release from Madhouse Brewery- V.I.P. Vanilla Imperial Porter that is aged in Cedar Ridge whiskey barrels. I'll take one of each please!
Hot dogs will start being served at lunch time (open at 11am) and the new beers will be tapped at 3pm! Escape the cold and head over to Blackstone tomorrow, and bring a friend so you can each get one. Or follow after me and get both, I mean why not at only $7 each!
I'm not gonna tell you again, get your booty to Blackstone and get yourself a dog. But thats not all, I want y'all to let me what you think. So after you grab your hot dog and a brew or two, head back here and let me know which one was your fav. Yeah yeah yeah I know I am asking a lot of you, but I think you and your tastebuds will be thanking me after you do it.
Which was your favorite?
