I have never been able to get to Short Leash Dogs' food truck since I am a teacher and can't get out for a lunch break downtown. So, I was really happy to find out they now have a restaurant! A large group of my friends and I ate here before heading out to enjoy First Friday. Supporting a local spot who uses the finest locally made hot dogs and sausages is where it's at. \n\nTheir fried pickles are certainly worth an order and perfect for sharing with friends. Another friend ordered the funnel cakes with chive remoulade and capers...they loved it, while I didn't seem to adjust to the taste combo. Meh. \n\nI had myself a regular Igby. Cole slaw. BBQ Sauce. Blue Cheese. And of course the best thing a hot dog could go in...their flat bread. I'm not sure why I didn't like this one since all I've ever heard about is how delicious their dogs are. But I was a bit underwhelmed by this one. Dang! Somehow the coleslaw was too well...cabbagey, while the BBQ sauce was not tangy enough. It overpowered the blue cheese too much. I was too chicken to try the Bear with peanut butter and cracker jacks. So, I am going for the Devil Dog next time! Or I'll possibly create my own, but I don't consider myself a hot dog flavor combo connoseiur and would rather rely on Short Leash's expertise. \n\nIf you are a fan of their food truck, definitely step in to Sit...Stay. Or better yet, if you've been waiting to grab a bite...get in there! \n\nP.S. I did have the pleasure of devouring their sausage stuffed green chiles at the Chile Pepper Festival this year and it was totally tasty!
