Bay of Pigs

Tuesday

The original plan was for the same five gluttons to attack another special on tuesday. However, when you're attempting to pull off the Tour de France of eating there are going to be some casualties. One participant called in claiming of neck pain from over chewing a Po Boy and another had to mysteriously "work late" for the first time in years. Bones like to think these excuses are like the one he used when he was merely a fourth grader and seventh grade tom boy Tammy Toughner told him to meet her behind the bushes after school and bring chap stick. Much like young Bones' prostate did not actually flare up at the age of ten, the neck injury and meeting were a result of the fear one gets when being way over there head.
But worry not my loyal followers for there is nothing for you to fear. The remaining three warriors would not be denied there unalienable American right to overeat and the Pit was in attendence. (he was forced to write, "I will not ask for one more than one Po Boy per visit" on the Lady N'awlins ceiling in chalk and then released.) Rain clouds were in the sky as we descended upon City Dogs to see what their $1 Richmond Original special (hot dog loaded with chilli, onions and mustard) was all about.

Value of Special: There is nothing out of the ordinary about a $1 hot dog. The value comes from the fact that the hot dogs at City Dogs are delicious and that the dog is covered in chilli. The dogs are normally priced at $2.39 and would be worth every penny. In addition, with the Pit downing 8 Richmond Originals, your loyal narrator downing 6 and our other compadre downing 5 we saved a substantial amount of money. One would think we will spend more than we saved in hospital bills down the road but you cannot predict the future and more importantly, YOLO.
Value of Special: 3.5 Bones

Taste: As previously stated both the hot dog and the chilli are delicious. They also have the perfect amount of onions and mustard. It is also pretty hard to mess up a hot dog and judging by the name it is City Dogs specialty.
Taste: 4 Bones

Service: Our server was taken back when we combined for 9 hot dogs in our first order and seemed perturbed that we were all ordering the special (note to waitresses in Richmond. If you have a special people are going to order it. I know it is confusing but stop acting suprised every time.) Then a crazy thing happened. On our subsequent orders she began to laugh at the absurdness of the amount of food we were consuming. There was even borderline banter going on between customer and server and refills were granted without request. Instead of rushing us out of the restaurant she actually challenged the pit after 6 to order two more. (Needless to say he did.) This resulted in the waitress getting a healthy tip and the Pit ordering a regular and not large milkshake to top of the meal.
Service: 4 Bones

Overall Experience: City Dogs has a wide variety of delicious hot dogs. They are pretty one-dimensional but being really good at one thing and knowing your limits has worked out pretty well for Mathew Mcconaughey. It is also a great place to watch football on Sundays (specials, specials, specials) with a relatively friendly and attractive staff. Bones believes he can get 8 Richmond Dogs down and the Pit sees double digits in his future. If there are any challengers among my loyal followers please let us know.
