"After 1am, the hottest spot in town is the Capitol Hill Hawk Dogs stand. Its wrap-around-the-block line looks like a Renaissance painting of Capitol Hill night life: folks in their best club outfits, dripping in sweat and glitter, mingling with nearby hospital workers in scrubs fresh off a shift—all united by a love for cream cheese on franks. You may end up running into someone you may know, maybe even a questionable fling, but it’s all worth it for the intoxicating smell of sizzling meat. Anyone who’s had more than three beers east of Broadway" - aimee rizzo, gabe guarente, kayla sager riley
"This vendor located in multiple spots near Pike and Broadway late at night serves the Seattle dog upon which all others shall be judged. It’s perfectly salty and smoky, grilled with the meat split down the middle so that flames touch every inch. The translucent onions offer a pleasantly sweet jamminess that complements the smear of Philly cream cheese. There’s nothing fancy here, but when you’re five cocktails deep into a Pike/Pine bar crawl, it feels like you’re tasting the sausage of the gods. One that’s only $8." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
