Bru Dogs

Cheap hot dogs, tasty chips on a stick, quick service. YUMMY. Lots of toppings.

In the battle of the late night Collegetown Pizza may have met its match. There’s a new vendor in town with treats of the wiener variety.
The Grub –
* Kimchi Dog ($ 5.00) — Hot dog bathed in beer broth and piled high with spicy kimchi.
* Chips on a Stick ($ ?) — Fried spiral-​cut potato served on a skewer
Venue Review –
You’ll find the Bru Dogs cart right outside Jason’s Convenience Store on College Ave. A silent stall during the day, it comes alive at night when it’s open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9pm to 2:30am. The Bru Dogs cart is a white truck with red letters embellishing its name and menu across its exterior. There’s a line of picnic tables outside the vendor covered in Greek graffiti.
Food Review –
Funny story: the first time I went to Bru Dogs they asked me if I wanted a kimchi dog. I had no idea they sold these and thought they were taking a racial jab at me being Korean and all. The guy that asked (there’s usually two on duty) explained that it’s a popular item at Bru and proceeded to make a kimchi dog. Through the window he handed me a hot dog piled high in a mountain of kimchi. The kimchi didn’t taste authentically asian, but it did give the hot dog a nice kick and was pretty innovative.
It was love at first bite.
Service Review –
The guys and gals working here are always really chill. There’s no better way to describe them. They’re always very laid back and happy to make you a variety of hot dog combinations to satisfy your carnivorous cravings.
Overall Impression –
Open late, Bru Dogs is perfect competition for thelate night CTP (Collegetown Pizza) just around the bend. With a number of both traditional and non-​traditional ingredients, the street style food cart is sure to satisfy any customer of the night. If you’re looking to spend less than five minutes to grab some greasy food and gobble it down then Bru Dogs is your spot.

These guys must be making a KILLING. They make fantastic hot dogs and instead of just letting them sit in a pan of warm water, they soak them in BEER and beef broth. Oh my lord what a revelation! Two dollar dogs, add a buck if you want toppings like saurkraut dipped in the broth mixture, homemade chili, or your standard Chicago style toppings. They also do sausage and peppers. This are ridiculously good. Like seriously, I hadn’t eaten a single hot dog in ten years as of Monday night. I tried one of these weiners on Tuesday, and I have had 6 dogs in the past 5 days. The PERFECT late night meal for the price.
