Delis: Yes, D.C. Now Actually Has Some!

by Arielle Fleisher  1:40 pm November 10, 2010

Hot Dogs: What’s the newest trend to come to D.C. that’s just as unhealthy as Slim Jims and Big Gulps, but that’s become gourmet-y and so acceptable? Hot dogs! There are now TWO, yes two, restaurants in D.C. that serve specialty hot dogs, and the newest one serves bacon wrapped all-beef hot dogs, deep fried all-beef hot dogs, and hot dogs topped with cheese-whiz. It’s almost like D.C. is Real America (yet still better). [DC-3]

  • Thursday, November 11: If there were ever a reason to go to a bar with “pumphouse” in the name, it would be because the bar is serving free drinks, though this still may not be reason enough to actually go. Rhino Bar and Pumphouse in Georgetown will be offering two free cocktails or draft beers from 6-8PM this Thursday. Go at your own risk. [What's the Deal Happy Hour]
  • Saturday, November 13: Ice skating is a winter activity that involves going in circles in the freezing cold, and you can participate in this fun, repetitive activity starting this Saturday when the ice skating rink at the Sculpture Garden opens. Here’s an even better reason to go ice skating this weekend: this Saturday and Sunday they’ll be handing out free hot chocolate. [Sculpture Garden Ice Skating Rink]
  • Saturday, November 13: If eating different varieties of oysters at an Oyster Riot will help small children back off the jelly doughnuts by helping Children’s National Medical Center build a new kitchen, even if the connection isn’t all there, why wouldn’t you do it? Tickets to the Oyster Riot may be $60, but it’s well worth it considering that there will be lots of other food including pig, as well as a moon bounce. [Oyster Roast]
  • Things that make D.C. more like New York: D.C. will only count as a city when it’s just like New York (Right? This is how it works?), but our Epcot-Center-like imitation of Brooklyn and mass consumption of PBR are NOT good enough. What’s the one thing D.C. needs to make it that-much-more like the big cit-ay? A real live Jewish deli, of course. And now we have one. So we’re good? New York you will love us now? [Uptown Deli]
  • Food to look Forward to: Get ready for another beer garden, another burger restaurant, and then another burger restaurant, and Indian food Chipotle style. [Bavarian Beer Garden: Prince of Petworth/Standard: Prince of Petworth/Bobby's Burger Palace: WBJ/Merzi]

All those hot dogs are just going to attract Grizzlies or so I've heard. Maybe some bears too.

slappypaddy November 10, 2010 at 1:54 pm

mmm… weenie dawgs and hobo beans. i'll be able to afford those on the new reduced social security the boomers will be getting. weight-loss the gummint way!

Allmighty_Manos November 10, 2010 at 1:57 pm

4 buck for a hot dog called the "NY Street Vendor." Yeah I can't wait for that.

ManchuCandidate November 10, 2010 at 2:00 pm

It's a higher quality amalgam of lips and assholes on a bun.

ttommyunger November 10, 2010 at 2:19 pm

Don't ferget the taints, gotta have taint.

ManchuCandidate November 10, 2010 at 1:57 pm

Poor Doxies. Always the wienie never the wiener.

BTW, my long departed Dachshund would have none of that. Unless it made her warm and fuzzy in the winter, she had some dignity and hated it when mom tried to costume her.

Monsieur_Grumpe November 10, 2010 at 2:01 pm

I had a girl friend with one of those dogs. Her father trained it to hate me.

ManchuCandidate November 10, 2010 at 2:04 pm

Should have snuck it food.

My dog hated everyone except the family… and anyone who bribed her with food. My dog had no shame when it came to snacks.

ttommyunger November 10, 2010 at 2:20 pm

Not believable. I hate you and I don't even know you.

x111e7thst November 10, 2010 at 2:41 pm

I hate nearly everyone, whether I know them or not. (I am willing to make a temporary exception for those who bring me chocolate or money)

ttommyunger November 10, 2010 at 3:01 pm

I know, I know. I am not a racist only because I was made miserable in grade school by little assholes of every race, creed and national origin, not just one sub-group.

DON'T GIVE ME THAT, YOU SNOTTY-FACED HEAP OF PARROT
DROPPINGS! SHUT YOUR FESTERING GOB, YOU TIT! YOUR TYPE MAKES ME PUKE! YOU VACUOUS STUFFY-NOSED MALODOROUS PERVERT!!! (You're welcome, Sir!)

ttommyunger November 10, 2010 at 5:12 pm

I AM impressed, sir!

Keith's back, baby!

PsycWench November 10, 2010 at 1:59 pm

Where's the Elvis hot dog that's deep-fried after being stuffed with peanut butter and bananas?

CapeClod November 10, 2010 at 2:00 pm

Can I get some Baconnaise with that hot dog?

DCHatesMe November 10, 2010 at 2:09 pm

But you still can't find a prune danish anywhere in or near DC. Go ahead, find me a prune danish in DC or NoVA/SoMD! And not those god awful prairie muffins from Panera. Mid-west food you can find in DC, but a NY deli style prune danish?

MiniMencken November 10, 2010 at 3:41 pm

No leaves, no birds, no sun, November. And no prune Danish? And, even more sadly, no corn dogs or fried beer or grilled Bologna sandwiches or calf fries or fried brain sandwiches. Some capital!

DCHatesMe November 10, 2010 at 5:02 pm

xactly. Wheaton has a large kosher market. Tiny fish drowned in duck vomit? Sure, we got it. Dried pieces of salted elephant skin? Sure. Prune Danish? Never heard of it.

MiniMencken November 10, 2010 at 5:39 pm

I still remember the prune Danish at Louis Lichtman's bakery on the corner of West 86th Street and Amsterdam Avenue, in Manhattan, a real city. Sadly, it closed on July 1, 1987 and I have been subsisting on inferior substitutes ever since.

widestanceroman November 10, 2010 at 2:18 pm

In keeping with federal health regulations, these hot dogs will be wrapped in a picture of Rush's naked back-fat.

x111e7thst November 10, 2010 at 2:38 pm

Even a dog-meat hot dog is not that disgusting. The most loathsome scenes in Eraserhead are nothing by comparison. My hat is off to you.

widestanceroman November 10, 2010 at 5:30 pm

I am humbled. Thank you.

PublicLuxury November 10, 2010 at 8:51 pm

Will the picture include a close-up of the boil on his ass that got him out of serving in Nam? I wanna see it. Back in the day… it was reported to weep. I know I would weep if I saw it, much less smell it.

Wanna a hot dog now?

ttommyunger November 10, 2010 at 2:24 pm

Just what those Kongresshional lardasses need, moar fude; all except the Cantor boy, he subsists solely on a diet of Boehner gizz and McConnell dingleberries.

Irwin_Mainway November 10, 2010 at 2:38 pm

The deli is so far uptown, it is actually located in Ohio.

Urban_Achiever November 10, 2010 at 2:45 pm

Oysters + alcohol + moon bounce = What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

CrankyLttlCamperette November 10, 2010 at 2:59 pm

Anyone else miss Krupin's?

That Weiner Dog made me think of Korean food.

Or maybe Filipino.

Whatever.

Neil_in_Chicago November 10, 2010 at 7:59 pm

That dog outfit is Just Wrong.
You *do not* put catsup on a hot dog, you put mustard on a hot dog.
