We had a potluck tonight (one of a few this weekend) and we brought my mom's world famous crustless spinach quiche. (I chopped the onions, my lady did the rest this time) I'm still undecided if I'm going to release this recipe to the world. Regardless, it's bitchin'. (I think my mom got it from a snooty Northshore cookbook in Chicago.) We were the talk of the party - that bad boy didn't last 10 minutes on the table. You can always judge how successful your food is at the potluck by how much other stuff gets eaten before/after your dish. We got there late and it was gone before mostly everything else. Sweet. I think potlucks are bringing out my competitive side. Unfortunately, this potluck had a lot of meat in the other dishes so I ended up hungry, which led me to Mustard's.
Mustard's Last Stand on University down by DU is usually the mecca of the veggie dog for me, but tonight they came up short. I rely on Mustard's to take me back to my childhood growing up in Chicago - with the exception that I get the soy dog now instead of the vienna beef. I got my dogs to go thinking that the tight wrapping of the wax paper would further steam the bun and make it the deliciousness of my childhood. Well Mustard's, thanks for the stale bun and the lackluster dog! I'm so disappointed, but I'll give you a second chance, I always do, it may have just been an off night. Steve's Snappin' Dogs on Colfax is quickly pulling up along side you, even though they don't use the right kind of buns for their dogs. Mustard's, if you're going to import the real Vienna Buns you could at least make sure they're fresh!
Hot Dog Idea: Barbeque Sauce and Coleslaw? I'll keep you posted.
