For me this summer could be labeled the summer of the hot dog, or alternately the summer of the burger - more on that in another review, a burger review, of course.
As to the hot dogs, I ranged from the Raleigh area (Roast Grill, Char Grill, Snoopy's, Cloo's), Shorty's in Wake Forest, through Durham (Dog House, Kings, Jimmy's) on to the aways amazing Zack's in Burlington, will come back to Greensboro, on to Kernersville for Clark's BBQ and one of the Dairi-os, slide south to High Point (Oscar's, The Doghouse, & Tucker's Grill, and perhaps Little Roadside Grill, TBD).
Then into God's hot dog country - Winston (Mr BBQ, Kermit's, Pulliam's, PB's, Joe's Take Out, and Hot Dog City) - WHEW! All of these are worth your consideration, now let's move on to this spot, perhaps a shinning light in what has been a hot dog waste land recently -Greensboro.
This has not always been the case, of course. Yum Yum began operating in 1906, and is still offering hot dogs, ice cream, and Cheerwine. But the quality of the hot dog has decrease over the years - and I've eaten hot dogs here since the late 50's - opinions vary of course.
There were several excellent hot dog spots in the Hamburger Square area of S. Elm, including California's and Jim's Lunch. Ham's had a great kraut dog, the American Legion Post on Saturdays, and Petty's out High Point Road had a great chili dog.
These places are no more, and while there are some decent hot dogs around, there are NONE I would go to for just the dog except maybe Hinshaw UM Church on Tuesdays, until this place popped up recently!
I went to try the dogs - chili and Chicago. I was not disappointed in the least, except for the neon colored relish on the Chicago, you should be ask to sign a waiver to have it included on anything you order or would consider ordering, or sitting at a space where it was ordered.
