California Dreamin'

Underdogs

Every once in a while, my sister and I venture out to Rittenhouse Square to go to our favorite hot dog joint, Underdogs restaurant!  Known as Philly’s “finest hot dogs and sausages”, Underdogs is the best place to come with a big appetite!

The best thing about this restaurant is that each hot dog or sausage is a combo ranging from $6.50-$8.00. With this combo, you get your menu item of choice, a drink and french fries with a dipping sauce!

On the left is my hot dog. I got the “California Dreamin’” which is served with avocado, tomato, lemon mustard vinaigrette. For my fries, I got the spicy peanut sauce for dipping. if you love peanut butter, then you’ll be in your glory because its smooth and creamy with a kick to it.  On the right, my sister ordered “The Michigan” which is served with beef chili, onions, cheddar cheese and mustard. I had that one before and it is very good!

Lastly, what makes the hot dog is the roll. The bread is so fresh and the key asset to the meal. The bun acts as the balance beam and holds the ingredients together without the bread getting soggy!

When you walk in the restaurant, all you see is painted hands on the wall with names or businesses inside them. Underdogs has a cool contest going on. If one tries all the hot dogs or sausages on the menu, you can get your name on the wall!

Do you have what it takes to be an underdog and try all the dogs? All Dogs are 100% Beef Big Boys on Cacia’s rolls. Vegan hot dogs and gluten-free rolls are available upon request, so anyone can eat here!
