The $14 Hot Dog
Robb Walsh of the Houston Press visited the new wine bar and restaurant Max's Wine Dive, which serves a $14 hotdog called the "Texas Haute Dog": "a grass-fed beef frankfurter on a Kraftsmen bun, topped with "house-made" pickled jalapeños, venison chili, cotija cheese and crispy fried onions that look remarkably like the Durkees canned onions of green bean casserole fame. The dog is served on top of a pile of hand-cut frites (that's French for French fries) that have been garnished with more venison chili."
I want to say "Texas eats, New York City prices" but I don't think we have any hot dogs that expensive here! (Burgers, now that's a different story altogether.)

Venison chili sounds kind of fascinating, and I love me some cotija cheese, but for that kind of money I can get two burgers at Peter Luger.

Yo people, Elvis has left the building. What are you drinking with that $14 hot dog? Cristal? We all know that hot dogs, with the exception of Hebrew National, need to go for right about 79 cents.

I had a Rhone red with the chili dog and the combo sucked. They sell beer at Max's Wine Dive though, so my bad.
Their Kobe beef burger with double cream brie is $18.
