Free Toppings
If you're like me you love a true NYC dirty water dog. For those that don't know what these are, they are the hot dogs you buy anywhere from $1 up to $3 from a hot dog/pretzel vendor in the street or the park. On Monday, I happened to have been in Central park with the fam and decided on getting some dirty waters. A true New Yorker will know that the only things you can get on them are kraut, onions, ketchup or mustard. You say what you want specifically or if you want it all you tell the vendor you want a dog with everything. The dogs themselves come in 2 sizes, regular and large. A true New Yorker also knows that anything you get on your dog does not cost anything extra. I asked the vendor for 1 small dog with kraut and one large dog with everything. The Central Park dogs are a bit more than the street dogs because of the location so the small one is listed on the cart for $2 and the large for $3. When the vendor gave me the 2 dogs he asked for $7 in return. I asked what for as the sign clearly said a total of $5 for those 2 dogs. He then took a ripped card board sign out that said large dogs are $4 and toppings extra. I lost my shit on this dude. I said that was bullshit since the price was fixed as his cart sign mentioned and toppings were never extra in the cost anywhere in the city. I yelled at him for trying treat me like some Okie tourist who might not know better. He quickly gave up the fight and took the $5 for the 2 dogs he had just handed me. What an asshole.
