| The Acme Hotdog & Sausage Company
I really loved this place. I found it by accident. Someone called me while I was in the car and I couldn't get my cell phone out of my pocket. So I pulled into this little restaurant parking lot to pry my phone out of my pocket and vola, there it was, The Acme Hotdog & Sausage Company. If you have read reviews I have done you will have surmised that I like diner food. Food cooked by individuals, following an individuals sensibilities and devoted to a real person's desire to create something unique and worthwhile, will almost always trump corporate, mass produced and assembled fare. Acme is one of the places where this belief shows itself to be true, brilliantly and clearly. I like hot dogs so I am biased. But there is a difference between a mushy stadium dog with watered yellow mustard and a fire grilled weenie cooked by a cook that knows the noble history of the sausage he prepares, that prepares each one to the liking of the customer, places it on a fresh bun and provides the sides and condiments needed to complete this American culinary icon. I am going back. I need to try the andouille, brats, chorizo, sausage, hot dog with casing, fries, and funnel cake. The staff (possibly the owner) was friendly and engaging. The restaurant is typical diner, clean and spare. The price may look a bit high. If you got a standard mushy dog boiled and grilled and plopped on white bread bun I would never go back. But you are buying a quality dog reverently cooked and in a basket as God intended. Given the quality this is a value.
