Today it was smoked brisket on a Kaiser roll. The brisket was delicious and I loved the slaw on top. It's a bit sloppy so get ready with napkins!! Really yummy.

If you're a hotdog aficionado searching for a banger of a meal, look no further than Gatti's H.O.G. (Hotdogs Only, Gosh!) This place is a meaty paradise where the humble hotdog is glorified to epic proportions. Walking in, you're hit with the aroma of sizzling sausages and toasted buns, enough to make any carnivore weak at the knees. The atmosphere? Picture this: a well lit bar, the smell of Underbergs and lively chatter filling the air. It's the kind of place where you can kick back, relax, and indulge in some serious hotdog appreciation. Now, let's talk about the stars of the show: the hotdogs. Gatti's H.O.G. serves up an array of dogs that would make even the most stoic food critic drool. From classic to the pescatarian outrageous creation the Salmon dog, each bite is a symphony of flavors that'll have your taste buds doing the cha-cha. But it's not just the hotdogs that steal the spotlight; it's the atmosphere. The staff is as friendly as can be, cracking jokes faster than they can sling condiments. And don't even get me started on the seating. It's like they raided a vintage beer bar and said, "Yep, this will do just fine for our hotdog haven." Sure, Gatti's H.O.G. might not be fancy schmancy, but who needs fancy when you've got hotdogs that'll make you question why you ever bothered with salad? So, if you're in the mood for a good laugh, a cold brew, and a belly full of blissful hotdog goodness, trot your buns over to Gatti's H.O.G. pronto! You won't regret it, and your taste buds will thank you later. read more

This is not a hot dog. It's a H.O.G. it's a spiritual experience. It's a blended mix of pork, beef and heaven. An amazing 8" H.O.G is delicately placed between a soft bun with condiments that accent the experience like drag show happening in your mouth. I heard men crying at the first bite. If you leave Charleston without having a Gatti's H.O.G., have you been to Charleston? read more
