Hot dog restaurant · Telegraph Avenue

@eater

"To Cal students and Berkeley locals alike, Top Dog is the stuff of legend. For nearly 60 years, this no-frills joint has served the hot dog faithful, offering 11 different sausages grilled on their signature flat top. Go for a snappy, kosher all-beef “Top Dog Frankfurter,” a Louisiana-style hot link (described on the menu as “h-h-hottt”), or the popular garlic Frankfurter — made of three-fourths beef, one-fourth pork, and a whole lot of fresh garlic. Go nuts at the condiment station — it’s self-serve — and take your time. They’re open until 3 a.m. on the weekends." - Lena Park
