    the Hot Dog King trailer
    Errol M.

    I'm just not a real big fan of hot dogs. In fact, I think the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest every Fourth of July is absolutely revolting, if not horrifically disgusting, for more reasons than the number of hot dogs stagnating in the contestant's colons. Oh, I'm not ungracious, I congratulate the winner and all the contestants, and I'm sure their parents are very proud. What I am interested in is the vegan/veggie hot dog, and not for the philosophical reasons of it being meatless, but from the marketing concept of "Do we make this thing taste like a hot dog, or can it just look like one?" I also enjoy the irony of why meatless products should even resemble or taste like meat at all, but that's a whole other debate. The point is the Hot Dog King makes an interesting vegan dog, but you won't confuse it with your typical All-American weenie. I actually thought it tasted like pizza, maybe it was the oregano; it's apparently based on mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes. Be that as it may, whatever taste expectations I may have had were more than compensated with my perception I was eating something at least semi-nutritious and healthy for me - I have no idea if it's true or not, but sometimes perception is reality. The Hot Dog King is a trailer which I assume does the bar circuit at night, I found it working a Saturday morning outdoor car show. Cool. There were eight kinds of dogs on the menu - the wild boar seemed interesting - the guy working it was nice enough and I assume the "King," and I was impressed with his help-yourself condiment selections along the entire side of the trailer, especially the sauerkraut and sriracha. The most expensive items were $5, and I think any of them would be good eats. For the $4 Vegan Dog, I know it's a veggie bang for the buck.

    A huge fantastic hot dog that can put your late night 6th Street hunger to bed (told a story, tucked and kissed good night). These are some tasty dogs on a hoagie style bun (or maybe that was just my Chicago-style hot dog). Basically you get a hot dog, a bun and you choose if you want onions or not. From there, you can get as much of the assortment of condiments that you want (Sauerkraut, pickles hot mustard and spicy Asian sauce for me please). The woman who served us was friendly and had a lot to talk about (if you're willing to engage in a conversation with her). But overall, a fantastic food truck establishment when your hungry from trolling through 6th Street.

Gordough's is one of those places that fully commits to indulgence. I was able to place my order online and schedule for pick up. The order was ready when I arrived. Parking was a bit challenging and the lot was full and they charge for parking. Service was quick, casual, just good energy and fast turnaround. I ordered my tried and true Miss Shortcake with their famous cake donut with cream cheese icing and fresh cut strawberries. The donut is so indulgent and was served warm with the most delectable flavor combinations. Tried the Son of a Peach with cream cheese icing, spiced peach filling, cake mix topping, cinnamon and sugar with honey butter. This one was a bit too overindulgent and sweet for my liking but was definitely worth a try. Portions are huge and can be shared as the donut is not as good warmed over. If you're in the mood for dessert and not think about calorie count, then this is the place.

From speaking with Tony Jr. today, they also have a restaurant in Pflugerville. I ordered jerk chicken, which fell off the bones and came with cabbage, rice and peas and plantain. I have traveled to Jamaica a couple of times, this Jamaican food was the real deal. The jerk chicken was a bit spicey but not set your tongue on fire spicey. The rice and peas along with the cabbage was perfectly seasoned. The standout for me was the sweet plantain, spoken like a plantain connoisseur. The plantain was sweet on the inside and slightly charred on the outside...perfect combination. The only improvement would have been for me to get a side of plantain. My food was delivered fast and hot. Tony Jr. was super personable and friendly. There is seating in the center of the food truck park. You hear tunes being played in the background. The food truck park is at the core of East Austin in a semi-residential area. Street parking is available for diners. I look forward to trying curry goat and oxtails and more.
