Good Grief out and about.
Went to Matt’s Hot Dogs in S**o on my way to ANW to pick up some booze.
From ordering the Chicago Dog to gobbling it all up, the whole transaction took 5 minutes. I order the dog and paid for the dog, and less than a minute later I had the dog in my hands, and then in about 4 minutes and 4 big bites I was done and off to ANW.
Super fast service, quality dog, and they even had a sport pepper on the Chicago Dog (they are impossible to get in Seattle).
Thank you for the awesome Chicago Dog! I’ll be back again.
