Really enjoyed making this video! Thanks for the ideas! Also, i completely thought it was the Chinese Chili oil you get when ordering scallion pancakes or dumplings. It was habanero chile..... and it was HOT.
No way I’m paying even $8 for a hot dog. A gourmet hotdog is an oxymoron. I even feel like $8 is insane but I would pay at a private event with limited options possibly if I was starving.
Great review and I love your comment on it opening the door to further inflated prices! I’m so sick of these food critics that feature 💩 that’s known to be outrageous $$$. Again, love the honesty and clean 💧
For those of us from the North, $29 US is $39.35 Canadian at the current exchange rate. Oh boy. Glad you enjoyed the toasted potato bun and the "NOT CHINESE" chilli condiment.😊 This was a really fun Instalment.
a fancy restaurant that is paying 40,000+ a month rent and 15+ staff in nyc = $30 hotdog. min wage is 16.20 a hour for non tipped. Just payroll and rent per DAY is prob $5,000. Add the cost of food, utilities, insurance, nyc licenses and fees. It is crazy. BTW They have since closed.
I'm cheap so anything over $10 is too expensive lol. I'd say $15 would be fair with the chili and sauces. Sucks you didn't get your foot massage. 😂 great video.
I had a $19 fish & chip meal on Governor's Island (good but portion size was a bit small for the price) and I thought of this video because of how expensive it was. Speaking of Governor's Island, if you haven't already would you consider going there and see what hot dog or other eateries exist there? Would be an interesting video to make if one doesn't exist already on your channel
Wow, that is shocking. I get that a place like that has to pay a lot of rent but charging that price is flat out robbery. Hotdogs are supposed to be "cheap and accessible". A lot of Indian restaurants do a similar thing with some foods which are "cheap" but then charge a premium... So annoying but thanks for the honest review brother. Much appreciated 👍
Having the convenience of sitting down in a restaurant I would probably slice it across in small bite sized sections and try some of the condiments out in each bite. Before you put anything on it with the ends of the dog sticking out and raised up on each end if you put some wheels on it and it resembles the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile. 🌭
Wow, Chris! That hot dog DID look good I must say, but...Even at Serendipity3 (known to be pricey), you can get a great footlong hot dog with fries, cole slaw, and pickles for $19.95. Of course, you'd have to bring your own "Chinese sauce" 🙂
This looks good, but, I’m a fan of the hot dog stands that you go to. I’m in Texas and just bought the Sabretts red onion sauce from the grocery store here that carries it here. I do believe that the red onion sauce is the New York difference! Keep on doing what you are doing my man! Happy hot dog!
WAy too much 29.00 where,'s the Kraut? Best dogs are mcsorley dog with German mustard and fresh kraut 9.00 or so.for 29. It should be a dog made from fillet mignon!
100% agree with your assessment. Given the context I could stretch it to 18.00-19.00$- since a lot of "complementary sauces" are included...Now, if they included fries with it (cheap to make, even top quality), maybe another stretch to...25.00 to 26.00$?
Maybe this place is for country folks in the city. Country folk with money of course. This is the kind of place my uncle would go and then have a story about the 30 dollar hotdog for a long time. If he spent it and i got to hear about it... Worth it. But for just getting something to eat. Not a chance.
Hey man, I enjoyed the review. Like you said.. it is mainly about the experience. I imagine they are borderline Michelin restaurant by the style of their serving plates and portions. The only thing missing from the experience would be a server constantly checking on you, assisting you with the meal, catering to whatever you need. I agree with you that $29 is steep and they should lower the price, even for the “Michelin style” experience. But I personally think $21 would be the sweet spot for them rather than $15.. you are in NYC after all.
Who even wants a hot dog that big? Some of these prices are crazy. Have you ever tried the $23.95 15 Bite hot dog at Brooklyn Diner on 57th and Seventh, or at their location in Times Square?
Yeah...over hyped! Thanks for the real review. I do believe that the Brooklyn Diner Dog is a better value in that range with fries..keep the reviews coming! Spring is around the corner and so is baseball season..are you going to the ballparks?
You talkin about Billy’s by the park? Yeah that dog had a good snap. It looked like beef. No thanks to the foofy condiments. They made a 28 dollar profit 😆. Hey you’re on Lexington Ave. baby. Thanks man. 👋🏽
Thank you for doing this! You should create an app for hotdog carts. So, we know where all the quality dogs are at. Regular price…$3 hot dog, $4 hot sausage… etc.
Hot dog looks good. The issue is the bun. It's too small for a hot dog that size and shouldn't fall apart. Good video. Let me know when you want to come to Jersey for real hot dogs.
Bro i need your answer , i have two questions which one is your favorite: 1. NYC hotdog (with onions, saurkraut, relish, mustard) or burger (double beef cheese, pickles,onions, mistard, tomato sauce) ? 2. Nyc hot dog or Chicago hot dog ? I hope you answer my questions
Thank you for your honesty. This is obviously a pretentious scam, tailor-made for complete tools. Which is exactly why food vlogger James Andrews proclaimed it to be "worth it."
not a eating on the go Sabrett dog, but looked like a have seat enjoy the view type thing. I did notice that the lobster roll was only $10 bucks more than the dog. I wonder how this place will do in the long run... Hey keep dogging it buddy...
Curious about your taste in Mustard's. Looks like most street vendors have Yellow (Salad) mustard. Do you run into Spicy Brown Mustard's on the streets ? Heinz use to have a real good one, that is till Kraft merged with them, Now it seems to be Kraft's version in a jar labeled as Heinz and it terrible. Best Spicy Brown Mustard so far that I found is made by Bell-View, called Hot & Spicy. Made in Pa. near where I live. Enjoy your street view direct observations.
WOW. Freakin Wow. $15 w/crinkle-cut fries. Tops. Whew. Definitely seen the juice on first bite. Bun and dog looked amazing, I'll give them that. One thing I gotta ask tho: Was it stove hot when presented?
The hamburger seemed more reasonable for $29 since it comes with fries. No way I would pay $29 for a hotdog, unless it came with a lapdance from a hot model type girl.
