Decisions, Decisions

I'm taking a friend to Hot Doug's for lunch today. There are several things on the specials menu that look delicious to me, so please help me decide.

Hot Doug's: Lunchtime Dilemma. What should I order?

Spicy Smoked Alligator Sausage with Shrimp Remoulade and Pepper Affinois Cheese

Cognac and Hazelnut Pheasant Sausage with Black Truffle Sauce Moutarde, Foie Gras Mousse and Sel Gris

Calvados-Infused Smoked Duck Sausage with Chili-Garlic Mayonnaise and St. Pete's Blue Cheese drizzled with Honey

Citrus-Burgundy Pork Sausage with Red Wine Grainy Dijon Mustard and Smoked Gouda Cheese

Portuguese LinguiƧa with Saffron Rouille and Castelinhos Cheese

Hot Doug's delicious corn dog


But before lunch, coffee. Love to all of you!

eta: damn, I forgot I can't do a real poll since I refuse to give them money. Just tell me in comments, 'kay?

I do want everything! There were actually more choices on their specials page but these were the ones that caught my eye. I suppose I'll just have to see what comes out of my mouth when I step up to the counter to order.

I ended up trying two of the specials: the linguica and the citrus-burgundy pork. They were both delish but the linguica was a bit better. My friend had a ribeye sausage and she liked it.

If I were ever there when it wasn't busy (perhaps at opening or closing), I would love to ask Doug if he ever let people have birthday parties there. Wouldn't it be great?

You know, it's a crying shame that they don't do a sampler plate.

Or that I can't come join you because OMG.

I was JUST thinking that a sampler platter would be a good thing. Often I end up ordering two because I just can't decide.

Let's go together on a Monday!

Mmmm, it was fantastic. So, if you're working Mondays, what other days do you have off?

Weirdly, Saturday and Sunday. At least, I will until the beginning of August, then it's back to Tues-Sat for me! (Until December. I LOVE holiday hours!)

I'm pondering spanikopeta today. MMMM, spinach...

Ok, an alternate/sooner date than the 18th of August could be late afternoon on Saturday the 26th. If you're not already busy.

hmmm... do you think it might be gluten free? I mean, obviously I can't have the bun, but the rest? It just sounds so good! Me want some!

Hm, I have no idea. You can email them for info, according to their website. It's info (at) hotdougs.com

Mmm, I want more sausage.
