"On Hawthorne, I find Zach's Shack to be the obvious contender for cream-cheese'd dogs: they offer a straight Seattle dog with caramelized onion and cream cheese, plus a few fun relatives. I'm partial to the John Popper, which comes with cream cheese, onions, green relish, jalapeños, and sweet Thai chile sauce (I swap the green relish for dill because the chile sauce is sweet enough). On other dogs the onions tend to be raw, so you have to ask for caramelized onions, and the franks are all-beef or tofu pups with upgrade options like linguica (a cheese-filled sausage) or Field Roast veggie sausage." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
