Split, Lined with American Cheese then Wrapped in Bacon & topped with Housemade Julienne Potatoes, Ketchup & Diced Onions on Regular Toasted Hot Dog Bun
La Frita Cubana, or just Frita for short, holds an exceptional place in my heart. If you’ve never had one and are a fan of Burgers, then you should probably really get with the program. The Frita is a regional South Florida specialty. The Frita Cubana is found in pockets of the United States with…
Some sites & Instagram accounts may like to prolong the inevitable or worse dangle clickbait in the form of lists. Not me, I’m just trying to pass along some info which I think any burger-loving fanatic in South Florida and really Miami should know about. So without further ado here are 12 f*cking great burgers…
The problem with writing about something like a Cuban Milanesa de pollo or res is that it can become very samey. For those of you who have never ravaged a Cuban Milanesa de pollo or bistec (steak), let me tell you just enough to get you started. The Milanesa usually is available in pollo (chicken)…
Always an enjoyable read. Surprisingly (or maybe not LOL), I have had a lot of these.
Arbetter’s-I don’t care for the hotdog itself. Meat is too mild/bland/soft, tastes like it’s made of turkey. Burger Fi-Never cared for the burnt. Like ketchup, it’s not right. Browned in butter is awesome, burnt is bad. Fritas Domino-I know it’s sacrilegious but I’m not a frita fan. Too greasy. You can have too much of a good thing. Monster-I have not tried, but I don’t like bacon or mozzarella or a toasted bun. Pepitos-Have not tried but looks amazing (add pineapple and skip the shaker cheese but then it looks like Pincho . . . Pincho-I love it, but it’s not my favorite Sweet Dogs-I had big hopes and took my family for my birthday but was disappointed. Swenson’s-Bun no, cheese sauce no. When “restaurants” do hot dogs, they are often just weird.
The best tasting plain hot dog (just the hotdog + bun) is the big fat one “Big BIte” at 7-11 . . . greasy good!
My perfect hot dog is the Sabretts from a stand with not toasted bun, those onions cooked in red (whatever that is) sauce, and YELLOW mustard.
Used to be a lady with a hot dog stand outside the WalMart in Doral (87th) who would be there like after 10PM til crazy hours. A hot dog with everything, but no dill pickle, no ketchup, no sauerkraut was the bomb! Pepitas, pineapple, etc. I think it was Columbian style. Haunted by these!
If it had pineapple then it’s more than likely going to be Colombian. You may want to try MAO’s on Bird Road, it might be right up your alley plus it’s open late!
