I discovered The Missing Link a few months ago and it slowly has become one of my favorite places to visit whenever I go out in downtown Hartford. Since it is a hotdog stand I’ll try to get right to the point. Pros: — Alex(a.k.a. the hot dog guy) is extremely friendly and always willing to customize your order no matter the amount of people behind you — He is one of the few hotdog vendors that I have observed wearing gloves(and changes them when they get dirty) which after observing some vendors touching trash and scratching themselves then proceeding to making food is a plus — He is dependable meaning no matter the weather he’ll be located right outside of The Russian Lady — I once dropped my got dog right after I got it and he was kind enough to make me another one right away(free of charge) Cons: — Due to hot dog stand stand being located right outside of The Russian Lady you are guaranteed to have to deal with extremely drunk and loud people — Drunk people will try to skip the line or get really close to your food to see what you ordered

(This guy actually wears plastic gloves!) Greatest hot dog truck I’ve ever been to. After a night of dancing, dripping mascara, and sore feet, you wander the streets of downtown Hartford looking for a quick bite to eat. You’re tired of the mediocre pizza at Aladdin’s and decide to grab a bite at a street meat stand. You go to the first cart outside of Blackbear and witness the hot dog man stuffing garbage into a trash can with his bare hands. Slightly disgusted, you crawl your way to the entrance of Russian Lady and witness the holy grail that is Hartford late night food. Alex the hot dog man stands in his newly bought hot dog truck wearing a set of plastic gloves, topping hot dogs with cheese, chili, and potato chips. He’s always welcoming to everyone and especially so to his frequent customers who eat way too many hot dogs(me). Open 10PM-3AM Thursday through Saturday, you can always expect excellent service and delicious late night food after your night out.
