Privy 5 Overview
New York; not Chicago, and definitely not LA, is the centre of the hot-dog universe and Crif Dogs, owned Brian Shebairo, proves this. These hot-dogs are not steamed, they are deep fried in vats of oil, and when you get them they glow with an almost kryptonite-like appeal. This locks in the rich dog flavor which explodes with fragrant steam as you bite into it. Crif Dogs can be purchased for a few dollars; with cheese and onion, avocado and bacon, or other delicious refinements which make eating a wiener a new art-form. Go through the vintage phone booth in this eatery and enter the adult world of PDT, where your dogs can be ordered from next doors kitchen, while you enjoy the comfort of a sexy, snug bar. Hot dogs are brilliant "drunk" food, but being able to get your hands on the best, while you get drunk is a completely new innovation.
