I was looking up details on an exhibit of a British Icon from the 60's and came up with a slice (a bun) of Americana.
Call it food as history if you will, the Courtyard Cafe at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC picked as its summer feature, Hot Dogs as America.
Here is what's it's all about:
- New York Deli Dog-- New York City's delicatessen tradition brings us this great natural-casing beef frank topped off with sauerkraut and deli mustard.
- Chicago Red Hot-- a jumbo Vienna Beef frank on a poppy seed bun, is "dragged through the garden," topped with mustard, relish, onion, tomato, dill pickle, peppers, and a dash of celery salt.
- Fenway Frank-- boiled and grilled Fenway-style, a beef hot dog served on a New England-style bun and covered with mustard and relish.
Will the Chicago Red Hot look and taste like those offered by Red Hot Chicago (picture below)?
Are they pairing them with New York, Boston and Chicago beers?
Another reason to visit DC this summer...
