With today’s Groupon: for $5, you get $10 worth of franks and drinks at The Slaw Dogs in Pasadena.
The Slaw Dogs’ menu features gourmet hot dogs, kosher dogs, chicken dogs, veggie dogs, natural-casing dogs, burgers, and treats. Start classic with a spicy polish sausage ($4.99) or natural-casing snap dog ($3.99) and pile on some of the more than 50 toppings ($0.39–$0.99 each), including the standard (sauerkraut, diced tomato, ranch dressing, etc.) and the foodie-friendly (guacamole, truffle oil, fried egg, etc.). Specialty franks infuse the traditional hot dog formula with a sprinkle of gourmet. The rueben dog crowns a spicy polish with pastrami, swiss, sauerkraut, and russian dressing before wrapping it in a grilled rye robe ($6.59). For the veggievore, The Slaw Dogs concocts the soy bomb, a veggie dog paired with tofu, shiso ginger-ponzu, and slaw sesame ($4.99). Pair your meatsterpiece or faux-measterpiece with an order of Belgian-style fries ($2.99), beer-battered o-rings ($3.99), or a bottle of beer.
