Yesterday, I decided to stop by Huskey's in Charleston for lunch. I hadn't been there in several years. I used to love this place and the little girl who always took your order was so adorable. When I was getting out of my car, I joked to myself, "That little girl is probably 35 with a mortgage now." When I walked in, it was if time had stood still. Yet another generation of young children taking your order with such efficiency and professionalism. I, personally, think this is wonderful. When my son was that age, he couldn't do the things that these kids do. The little boy who took my order rocked. I got two English dogs, an order of fried mushrooms, and a large drink for $14. They give you TWELVE fried mushrooms by the way. How many other restaurants give you that many? I was tickled to death that their menu hadn't changed because I was always a huge fan. The hot dogs were beautiful displayed and the buns were perfectly buttered. The chili was flavorful and the slaw was so sweet and fine. I savored every bite. Huskey's has good, tasty hot dogs - plain and simple. Nice, clean, not sloppy. You're not gonna have to worry about getting more chili on your blouse than in your mouth. It's just a quiet, family-vibe experience and, sometimes, that is exactly what you need on a Friday afternoon. As I got up, full-bellied, I spotted a young lady out of the corner of my eye. I'd like to think it was the little girl who always took my order years ago. And she still looked pretty young, which made me feel better about time and feel not so Crypt Keeperish...like I'm the Hot Dog Crypt Keeper or something. read more
