Dancing Hot Dogs
The Dancing Dog is an unassuming local venue in the heart of Footscray that has recently decided to try their hand in the gourmet hot dog seen. Their entry level debut includes a modest range of dogs with a vast array of delicious topping options starting at $7.50. Firstly, to pair with tomato sauce or mustard in a long fresh bun, a side of potato crisps and a gherkin, you must choose your meat. Pork, beef, or for an extra $1, my favourite, the chilli cheese kransky. Then the real fun starts, with add ons from bacon bits and caramelised onion to mexican beans and sauerkraut, starting at .50 cents per topping. Im not going to lie, I at first thought this dog and topping payment structure was a little odd and could end very expensively; however, this was not the case at all. I usually see places with a few pre-crafted gourmet dogs on offer, ranging from the plain and simple to the extravagant, priced from around $9 to $14. What the Dancing Dog offers is the flexibility to design your perfect creation for the same if not cheaper price than the ones already made for you! I personally sampled a pork dog with mustard and tomato sauces, and a chilli cheese kransky with sauerkraut, bacon bits, and both sauces for under $20. While the chilli cheese kransky left me wanting more fire and cheesy goodness, the flavourful underdog (as it were) was really the pork sausage with its well cooked and perfectly salted meat. Though, the sauerkraut was plentiful, and tasted fresh and firm even next to its crispy bacon counterpart. In true Dancing Dog style, the venue, the staff, the service, and the hot dogs have a very mates place vibe which is perfect for our warm west.
As rough as The Dancing Dog is on the outside, it’s a real gem on the inside. Their taco night, on Wednesdays? is the best. When I used to live there I’d go & order as many bean tacos as possible with no let downs. I mean how can you go wrong with $2 tacos? Always a regular haunt & cannot wait until I’m back in the area enjoying $2 tacos, oh also the staff are great there. Super friendly!
Atmosphere was decent but the drinks were horrible. Both the iced coffee and chocolate were very warm. Couldn’t taste the ice cream, it was mainly whipped cream.
