Its Mardi Gras in South Louisiana!
The Mystic Krewe of Mutts paraded today with about 1,000 or so dogs either in the parade or ?observing? along the route. This event is a fund raiser for our local Capital Area Animal Welfare Society. We walked a wonderful petite female pit bull (which I would adopt myself in an instant, ?cept we have four at home already!)
There were many food booths set up along the parade route, and one was for
Chicago Hot Dogs!!! These were the real deal, prepared by a man locally known as Chicago Al, a transplant from Chicago to BR. He?s a blues musician who runs a hot dog stand to make ends meet. He had all the authentic ingredients, including the Vienna dogs, the poppy seed rolls, and the Puckered Pickle relishes, pickles, and sport peppers. The dogs were good!!
However, I think I prefer my rendition better. I like the Oscar Mayer Deli XXL dogs and the Pepperidge Farms hoagie rolls. Everything else is the same as the original. Either way, you can't go wrong!!
