In honor of National Hot Dog Day (well, really to take advantage of a two-for-$8 discount), I tried out Shake Shack’s new lineup of “Dog Days” hot dogs.
There are five special dogs on the menu. The two I picked were the Angus Beef Chili Dog and the High Heat Dog.
The chili dog compares favorably with Wienerschitzel’s famous Original Chili Dog, but it’s a different experience. Shake Shack uses Vienna Beef dogs on a toasted potato bun. It slices the dogs down the middle and grills them.
The chili seemed a little chunkier than Wienerschnitzel’s, and the dog came topped with a generous amount of crispy onions.
The High Heat Dog wasn’t five-alarm, but made the lemonade I got with it a wise purchase. It was loaded with chopped cherry peppers and topped with a creamy cheese sauce.
The other dogs on the menu include an Angus Beef Chili Cheese Dog, also featuring the cheese sauce, a Crispy Onion Cheese Dog and a Fried Pickle Dog.
While I was at Shake Shack, I got a limited-time Dubai Chocolate Pistachio Shake for an extra $9.99.
Each Shake Shack only serves 50 of them a day and when I placed the order at 11:35 a.m. I was told I was No. 49.
The shake is made with pistachio frozen custard blended with toasted kataifi shredded phyllo, topped with pistachio pieces and kataifi and served in a cup coated with chocolate. It wasn’t very thick and can be sipped, but it was served with a spoon that helped with the chocolate. The kataifi has a nice texture, kind of like Shredded Wheat.
