as i said in our review of lockport’s reid’s, our goal this summer is to finally cross several hot dog stands off our restaurant wishlist. last weekend alli and i decided to drive down tohamburgto finally check out red top, another hot dog stand that we’ve heard several people rave about. as we visit more of these neighborhood hot dog stands, alli and i are starting to doubt how special a hot dog stand can really be. we aren’t visiting these restaurant with years of childhood memories or any nostalgia; when we visit a restaurant like red top or reid’s, we are really just experiencing the atmosphere and food with a clean slate. the restaurant is 67 years old and there haven’t been a lot of updates. there is no dining room, just a covered outdoor dining area with a couple picnic tables and their cash register definitely shows some age. they only take cash and their menu is hand written on a dry erase board and nothing on the menu costs more then $5.15.
