An American Hot Dog In Strasbourg


After my lunch at Franky's Diner, I stumbled open a sign in the streets pointing to true American Hot Dogs in Strasbourg at Bagel Avenue. This Bagel joint is my favorite in Strasbourg so I had to assume that their hot dog was as good as their bagels! The answer is simple: YES: their hot dogs are excellent and although not 100% exactly like the originals in New York, they come to a close 95% with a choice of relish, Sauerkraut, American mustard etc... The works!

And while I'm at it, I should also mention their excellent Frappuccinos:

The Fine Art Of Fusion Food


After eating my diet meal last night, I decided to eat for real and go for a hot dog! I, unfortunately, quickly realized that I had neither hot dog buns  nor sausages at home. In fact, the only ingredient I had was American mustard! But since necessity is the mother of all invention and I'm not the kind of guy to be bummed out by details, I had the great idea to invent a new fusion food dish. I named it: "The Great Trans Northern" as it mixes Indian bread with French sausages and American mustard. I did not have to add sauerkraut as the aforementioned sausages came from Strasbourg, a place well know for its traditional dish called "choucroute" that features sauerkraut garnished with sausages and other pork meats (makes sense, right?).

Well the result was just amazing and in my opinion, probably the most successful attempt ever at besting the tradition American hot dog! So, I suggest you all purchase a plane ticket to India with a stopover in France to gather the necessary ingredients to prepare this mouth watering fine fusion food dish. If you decide to go ahead and call an airline to book your trip, don't forget to mention the promo code "Great Trans Northern Challenge" and you'll get a 99% discount for any Virgin Galactic flight reservation.
