When you dine out at a place you're unsure of, it's generally a good idea to order the basics. If they can't get that right, it's a good bet that the restaurant as a whole can leave you dissatisfied. Like when you go to an Italian restaurant you've never heard of before, you may order the spaghetti and meatballs. Or if you go to a Cajun place, you'd do a blackened catfish or gumbo...typical dishes that should be done correctly.
When I arrived at The Slaw Dogs, I saw an immense menu offering a myriad of choices. Feeling a bit lost and unsure of myself, I went with my rule and ordered a chili cheese dog, which was close to $5. I also ordered the Thai Slaw Dog, which was closer to $7.
The chili cheese dog was, to say the least, quite pedestrian. It tasted like something I could make at home for a fraction of the cost. Just a normal hot dog, on a normal bun, with chili and cheese. I was not too pleased at this point, so I begrudgingly took a bite of the Thai Slaw Dog. With a tangy and slightly spicy slaw and peanut sauce, the chicken sausage(which was split lengthwise) provided a beautiful snap and immense flavor that as a whole, gave me the reason why the LA Times would write about this place.
I took my order to go, thankfully, because after that Thai Slaw Dog, I was ready to order everything on the menu! So I learned a little lesson today. Just cuz they can't do anything special with the basics doesn't mean they don't do anything special.
