Hey, Just Here to Say ... Try the Paul Kelly ... the Brat

Well well well. Here we are. If you go to Hot Doug’s, the sausage superstore, you should try the “Paul Kelly,” the bratwurst. Not only is it soaked in beer, just like Paul, but every time you order, 25 cents goes to just a super cause. thankyouverymuch, OldCleat

Dishes I tried:

Absolutely the best. A quarter of the purchase price goes to a great cause. Eat more “Paul Kelly” bratwurst.

hot for hot doug's

a small, colorful, no frills encased meats joint, hot doug’s is a fantastic place to treat yourself to some super classy dogs.

the variety of dogs is impressive & fun (celebrity dog names), and worth checking out. just be wary of the long lines and weird hours.

Hot Doug's, maybe not so hot?!

Always busy and crowded! Limited number of seats available.

It was very good at the beginning…but towards the end, it was a little gross because the smell of the duck fat finally got to me!! Probably would not order it again..unless I’m starving.

This was probably the best one we tried. It tastes just right, not too strong.

Can’t remember the precise name, but it was lamb. Never had I imagined that it would taste and smell so strong. The first couple of bites were good, but half way through it, I felt kind of grossed out because of the grease. I think it would be good to go with friends and sample the different types of hot dogs, but just don’t eat the whole thing…you’re get tired of it fast.

Hot dogs like no other. The long line is a good sign of how good the food is. Recommend: the Jennifer Garner (you’ll know what I mean if you ever go there).
