The Seattle Kitchen Show staff has been taking advantage of sunny Seattle weather by doing plenty of barbecuing. This week Tom Douglas and Katie O spoke with Seattle Metropolitan Magazine's Leselie Kelley about her list of this summer's top places to get hot dogs in Seattle.
Safeco's field roast frankfurter is a meatless hot dog that comes with different toppings,
"It's the ultimate portable food. You can stand there and watch the players, the relief pitchers throwing in the pen, or you can take it back to you seats. And they have some pretty decent toppings there," says Leslie.
"They were the very first to do the gourmet toppings," says Leslie.
This old stand-by is pretty out-of-the-way at the single south Seattle location, but they always have hot chili dogs and more unique toppings than some of the most popular restaurants.
At Po Dog it's all about choice. You can pick the kind of meat, toppings, and even the bun. With three locations (Ballard, Capitol Hill and the University District), they serve up some of the best cream cheese dogs with delicate brioche buns and infinite topping combinations.
Dante's is famous for it's carts that show up all over the city, and they're a favorite of late-night party-goers stopping for a gourmet hot dog outside bars. Visitors will be pleasantly surprised with the many exotic hot dog options prepared quickly and to personal specifications.
"I'm not saying it's the best... but you know, the bang for the wiener buck - you cannot beat it," says Leslie.
At $1.50 for a hot dog and a drink, you get a foot- long, 100 percent beef hot dog and the choice of three toppings: chopped onions, sauerkraut, and relish, along with ketchup and mustard.
The Seattle Kitchen Show can be heard on 97.3 KIRO FM on Saturdays from 2-4 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to noon. Available anytime ON DEMAND at MyNorth west.com.
