bewildering. maybe i'm missing something, but the food here is not good. i purchased the colombian style hot dog for 5.75. seeing anything under $6 these days is exciting. unfortunately, here, you don't get what you pay for. it was clearly some terrible frozen hot dog--the horrifying pale kind that strikes fear and nausea in the eyes of anyone over the age of 7. there was a vague whiff of some bland cheese, and a not very generous portion of some bland sauces that added nothing to the experience. i wolfed it down in about a block. a campfire dog would have taken longer to get through.
i get that it's a cheap hot dog, but my god, there's no way this glorified campfire dog should cost this much.
on top of it, the music was so loud i couldn't hear a damn thing anyone was saying. dismay rippled across the establishment upon my not ordering a drink. the only seats in the house where one doesn't feel shoved (literally) in a corner were inhabited by two folks not eating who, it appears, are somehow involved with the business. sorry to interrupt and, you know, order some food, guys.
i get that this isn't supposed to be fine dining. that's totally okay but the food here is so cheap, so poorly sourced, that somehow the impossible has been achieved: $6 feels expensive in 2014
