The Charles Bronson was an aesthetically pleasing, fist-sized affair. The craft beer and broth-poached dog had a subtle, savory flavor that complemented the sweet bun nicely. Real sweet bun, too. They use those soft, sugary, fluffy buns that have a crack-like addictive quality. The onions, cheese and quality pickle on top provide a contrasting range of flavours and textures that really complement the dog and bun.
The aptly named Fred Savage was just like its namesake – hotter than the devil and full of surprises. The bun and dog are ye olde faithful, accompanied by a beautiful salsa and an assortment of sliced chili. The sour, hot, sweet and salty combo sits right on anyone’s palate.
The dogs are between three and five dollars. It’s a good thing, because you’ll have money left over to tackle the insanely varied drinks on offer. I dined at lunchtime and had plenty of work to do, so I didn’t partake, but friends who have been promise good things. Ferdydurke is open from 12pm til 1 am and is definitely a cool place to hang out. The food, aesthetic, and service were all excellent, but what would you expect from the crew at Section 8? Loved it.
