I love the idea of a hot dog on the streets of New York and at a baseball game, but I rarely find myself eating one. I mean I can count on my hand how many times I have eaten a hot dog in my adult life and it's not because of the whole ass and lips description of a hotdog, it is just that as junk food options go at baseball games, or basketball or concerts... I have always leaned toward the nachos with the Velveeta and the canned jalapenos--the one food choice that in my normal day to day life I would gasp at with a look of horror at the mere idea of consuming such a inferior food. Anyway, I digress.

I recently discovered a new eatery Sammy Sausage and Beer in Granite Bay. The whole restaurant is devoted to hot dogs and sausage sandwiches. Now the sausage sandwich is a whole different story for me, I actually don’t even think of it as related to the hotdog. I mean if it was related then it would for sure be the well educated, over achiever of the hotdog family. So as I stood at the counter perusing their board of dogs, I settled quickly on the Bratwurst and my husband the Polish. Yes, yes I know we have very sophisticated taste. There are however the standard hotdog choices for those of you from the wrong side of the tracks. All kidding aside, the place is fantastic, cheap, and fun, with a nice selection of beers on tap, wines by the glass and plenty of side options at your disposal. You can not go wrong with this joint.
