Having just bragged the other day about having access to homegrown meat here at NPH, I must reveal that we also eat our share of meat slurry. Hot dogs are big staple here, for breakfast and dinner in particular. Often for breakfast they're chopped up and served with salsa. Yesterday for Pati's birthday party Dona Felipa whipped up a special concoction with hot dogs, cheese, and green salsa. Tonight was straight up hot dog night. The line is always slower to get your food because there is an assembly line of condiments: first is the maynaise bucket (as seen above) - which goes directly on the bun, then chilis - a Mexican favorite, then tomatoes and onions, lastly ketchup - which is squirted haphazardly over the whole plate. The final product is quite the creation as you see Paco displaying. Even a true Chicagoan would be proud, minus the ketchup of course.
i love that you appreciate and value the local food, but you're not too snobby to eat the hot dog. we ordered a webcam from e-bay yesterday. we'll set up a skype date when it gets here!
