Gourmet Hot Dogs - Day 2
Today I threw all the inconvenience factors to the wind. I got out of my car to get my food, I drove a little further and I paid no mind to price. To answer my everyday question of “What should I eat for lunch?” I answered back and said “Let’s go get a bagel at Einstein Bros Bagels“.
I suppose Einstein’s is more of a morning place, being that bagels are generally thought of as breakfast. But I knew they served lunch and this new lunch adventure I’m on drove me to try something new. I didn’t get to lunch until after 1pm so the line was short. I thought it was so short that I went the wrong way through their order here/ pay here line (until no one paid attention to me and I read the sign).
They had quite a few different sandwiches available on any type of bagel, Ciabatta or other types of sandwich bread. I opted for a Polish Gourmet Bagel Dog wondering what makes a hot dog a gourmet hot dog?
My Expensive Hot Dog Lunch
TOTAL COST: $8.24
After eating the hot dog I’m still not sure what makes a hot dog a gourmet hot dog.
Was it yummy? Yes it was yummy.
Did I get full? Yes I was full.
Was it worth over $8? My pocket book doesn’t think so. Call me frugal (or cheap) I think I could’ve bought a package of bagels and hot dogs for 15% of the cost of the meal (and maybe paid someone to cook it for me too for about half). I suppose the aura of having your meal personalized for you by having your name written on the ticket and called out when your food was ready and having a special iced tea with Ginseng a touch of Fruit may just make a hot dog inside a bagel gourmet, but I’m still going to be cheap.
Well hey, I tried something new. I got out of my mundain rut so who knows what tomorrow will bring.
