US-style hot dogs with creative toppings, toasted buns
"Tucked a few blocks from the Place des Vosges on a quiet street just out of the Le Marais buzz, this tiny takeout window beneath a red awning and flanked by chalkboards and a small yellow sign turns out surprisingly ambitious hot dogs. The concise menu includes four beef options—Le Classic, Le Coney Island, Le Brooklyn, and Le Gringo—and a vegan Le Californien, with playful twists like avocado on Le Coney Island (but not the Californien), jalapeños on Le Gringo, cheddar on Le Brooklyn and the Californien, and coleslaw on Le Coney Island. The dog and bun are toasted together Quiznos-style, the buns are soft and airy in a distinctly French way, and the sausages are salty, snappy, and notably larger than typical New York cart dogs. The real fun is in the condiments: a tart cornichon relish, crunchy fried onions, very spicy BBQ, sweet Thai chili, Samouraï (ketchup, mayo, harissa), a honey mustard under “Les Exotiques,” plus the usual ketchup, mustard, and mayo—combinations are encouraged and the writer insists there’s no wrong choice. A casual crowd of students and office workers often pops by, and for many visitors these hefty, well-balanced dogs provide an unexpectedly comforting, craveable bite in the heart of Paris." - ByCasey Elsass
