Hot Dog Stand

Was walking back from the Lucky plaza on Bernal and Via Del Oro and saw a couple of umbrellas out of the corner of my eye down Martinvale Lane. I told my buddy, «That’s got to be a hot dog stand, let’s check it out!»
Crossed the street and saw a guy walking towards us with a drink in one hand, and a piece of paper in the other. I asked him, «Is that a hot dog stand down there?» He said, «Yeah.» I proceeded to ask him if it was good, and he said it was his first time trying it! Crazy world, eh?
I asked him how much it was and he said $ 5.50. Pretty steep it seemed, but we trekked onwards.
I think I heard the Germany-​Spain game blaring on his radio as we walked across the cart. Took a look at the sign, and asked him if he’s usually there all the time. «Monday through Friday» he says. This joint is right across from the DMV, and I think to myself «ooo, prime spot.»
$ 3.50 for a polish sausage (hell, $ 3.50 for hot dog, $ 3.50 for hot link). I got the polish sausage because it’s the best. Damn straight.
He tried to peddle me to get the combo meal which is $ 4.99 for a dog of your choice, a bag of chips, and a drink. Definitely a better deal, but I wanted neither and stuck with the sausage.
The condiments were plentiful: relish, diced red onions, sauerkraut, pickled jalapeños, mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, anddddd of course Sriracha.
I loaded it up (with every topping), and walked it back to the office. Munched on it and it was pretty satisfying. It’s not worth $ 3.50 for the dog itself, but the array of condiments and nice demeanor of the man was well worth it. (well, I did tip him 50 cents).
