Of course, since it was the Strip, there was a bit of a mark up and the combo cost me $9.95 (McDonald's was the only restaurant I found inside the casinos whose prices weren't marked up).
If you've never had a Nathan's Famous hot dog, you might find them at your local supermarket. The nice thing about hot dogs is that the same stuff you buy from a cart or restaurant, you can pick up at your local grocers.
The hot dogs each had a casing (as opposed to skinless) and delivered a decent snap plus a really good flavor. The sauerkraut had a strong sour bite, tinged with a hint of bitterness; they piled it on, which was a bit much for me, but it's easy enough to pick some of it off.
The buns were decent; soft but not terribly fresh.
The fries were really nice. The way they're cut leaves a lot of thick, flavorful potato meat in each fry and there's a very light batter that gives a bit of a crisp shell to each fry. I liked the fries a lot. They're good alone or with ketchup.
Overall, Nathan's Famous' Two Hot Dog Combo isn't a great value (but is decent for Vegas), but it hits the spot for a hot dog craving and the fries are a welcomed bonus.
Can vegetarians eat potato meat?
ReplyDeleteHaha, maybe I should have wrote "potato flesh."
ReplyDeleteDowntown is where it is at for cheap food in Vegas. The horseshoe has an insanely large and obscene hot dog for like 3 bucks.
ReplyDeleteOh My God! (and yes I took the trouble to type that out, and this too just to make a point) WHAT IS THE FORK FOR!!!
