During the Hot Dog Days of Summer, all sorts of places call to us. Next up, Bart’s Drive-In (Halal) in Windsor.
Chili Dog
The first thing you notice is its generous size—this chili dog is extra long, ensuring you get a mouthful in every bite.
The chili stands out as the hero of the dish. It’s dark and rich, providing a delicious contrast with a sharp, spicy heat that’s sure to satisfy those who love a good kick.
Unfortunately, the hot dog didn’t quite live up to the chili’s standard.
The texture was a tad mushy, with an unexpected smoky taste that felt a bit out of place. The flavor was not what you’d expect from a prime hot dog joint.
As for the bun, it’s somewhere in the middle.
It wasn’t toasted really, but it wasn’t entirely soft either.
Imagine a bun that dreamt of being toasted but woke up just before it got there.
It’s serviceable, but I wish it had spent some quality time with the toaster.
