Profile

One way Joshua Sharkey and Brandon Gillis, chef-partners of Bark Hot Dogs, intend to distinguish their enterprise from, say, Gray’s Papaya is by the method they’ll use to finish their pork-and-beef wieners. Rather than just turning them over casually on the griddle, they’ll baste them like a Peter Luger porterhouse with—get this—housemade smoked lard butter. Another example: making everything from pickles to sauerkraut in-house, and meticulously sourcing the rest from top-notch purveyors. The franks (including an all-beef version) are churned out upstate by a venerable Austrian sausage maker, the beans are of the heirloom variety, and the bacon from S. Wallace Edwards & Sons. Because hot dogs for breakfast—lard-butter-basted or not—can be a tough sell, there’s also a morning menu of homemade biscuits and egg sandwiches. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

The basic dogs here are very good despite the bizarre things patrons are encouraged to defile them with--"chickpea roasted mushroom topping" perhaps being the worst offender. House pickles are a nice thought but too acidic, and the chicken sandwich, a Frankenstien made from various parts of the bird and pressed into a loose wet patty, will give you nightmares.

Excellent hot dogs, horrible value

I really wanted to like this place. The beers are cheap and good, the food is great (we loved everything we ordered), but the prices are ridiculous, especially the sides. The sides were extremely small and pricey. A side of beans was literally two tablespoons. Laughable. This is the kind of place where you feel like you could get dinner for around $10 (its hot dogs after all) but you will probably end up spending $20. I appreciate the slow food nature of this place, and the environmentalist slant, but I would rather not feel like i am being fleeced.
