Now here's a place I've been frequenting both at Macquarie and the city.
Snag Stand is definitely a top pick for hot dog fans, with more variety than you would think. You have Australian, American, and German styles, and they even serve delicious brioche bun burgers.
What other reasons are there to eat at Snag Stand? Well to quote the organization itself:
"Small batch production, artisanal hand crafted sausages, lean
low fat meats, all natural casings, gluten free, no artificial colours or flavours."
They even serve vegetarian sausages, so the place caters to pretty much any diet.
The interior has a very American vibe to it, perhaps Chicago being a underpinned inspiration, which wouldn't be a surprise, as the baseball fans there get the best hotdogs in the world (in my opinion anyway).
Having already tried the classic Chicago and Chili dogs, I decided to go for something more German. Above shows my order of the "Bratwurst" described to be "grilled German Bratwurst, sauteed onions, sauerkraut & mild German mustard on a toasted rustic roll". The dog itself comes at $8.90 but a small chips and drink combo will set you back an extra $5.50
I've never tried German mustard before, but it did have a unique spicy flavour. They were very generous with the onions, which are a dream match with the tender Bratwurst sausage. I did find the lack of ketchup quite disturbing, but there is always the option of grabbing the bottle by the counter and adding however much you desire. The chips were fried and salted perfectly, nothing to complain about.
Overall, these aren't exactly the cheapest hot dogs around, but you probably won't find another place that makes them to this quality and to these generous portions.
