After grabbing a quick lunch at The Drive-In (135 E Palmetto Street, Florence, South Carolina), I went to drop off Marcela and Chunktronics at the Palmetto Peddlers Antique Malls (2295 Hoffmeyer Road, Florence). When I’m halfway there, I spot Dash-N-Dogz on my right.
I park right in front so I can make my usual quick escape. Upon opening the door, I noticed an unused room with seating. Beyond that room, all of the action is happening.
To my left, there are some old-school 1970s fast food-style booths with a high-top counter and barstools to my direct right. After I make myself at home on the first stool, everyone behind the counter greets me.
They’re telling me I need their cheeseburger and chili dog in my life. I cave into their demands. I’m weak-willed when it comes to hamburgs and wieners; what do you want me from?
Dash-N-Dogz‘s hand-pattied burger is hefty and cooked medium-well. I got my cheeseburger with grilled onions, mustard, and slices of American and mozzarella cheese.
On the side are some extra crispy crinkle-cut fries with their secret seasoning. Then, after a few burger bites, my sights were set on the chili dog.
Time for the Main Event, the Dash-N-Dogz Chili Dog
The dogs and sausages are cooked on cylindrical meat rollers, the kind found at convenience stores. They piled on their housemade chili with diced red onions and yellow mustard.
This fella was so heavy that you had no choice but to eat it while using the foil wrapping as a carrier. But, look…this dude is spectacular. It’s not that the burger isn’t good, but this dog is next level.
I’m handed a little taste of Shirley’s Famous Chicken Salad. Since I’m not much of a chicken salad kinda guy, I bring the sample to Marcela.
She is a connoisseur of salads (chicken, egg, potato, and tuna) and gives me the big thumbs up.
Speaking of Marcela and Chunktronics, it was time to head back to pick them up. I was absolutely positive that Chunktronics would lose his mind over the chili dog, and he did!
