Hot Dog Of The Week: Philly Combo

Hot dog/fish cake combo can be also found at the hot dog stand on S.Fifth Street just south of South Street in Philadelphia.

I don't think they offer pepper hash - which is a great condiment to
compliment both the hot dog and fish cake. But they do have sauerkraut-
which is almost as good as the pepper hash.


I really enjoy your food graphics !!

Hot Dog Of The Week: Philly Combo

salvaggio-

The fish cake comes from Jewish / Kosher cooking and became a staple of general Philadelphia eating in the early 1900's. Levis was popular with Philadelphia's (at that time very large) Jewish immigrant population. But you're right, combining beef and fish is not technically kosher, but not necessarily followed to this day.

You could put the Combo in the category of kosher style. That's actually why I find it so interesting, that it's the product of several different cultures coming together.

Thanks! I'll have to check out that stand on 5th & south..
