my job (uber) brings me to the airport here in Boston all the time, so I've discovered the neighborhood around it, called East Boston, lately. One of my favorite places to go is La Chiva https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-chiva-restaurant-boston (https://www.yelp.com/biz/la-chiva-restaurant-boston)
I usually get empanadas (1.50 a piece) and pastelles (2.50). WHat I really love is the sauce they come with. there's a red sauce and a pink sauce. No clue what either are but they are f**king good and really scratch the itch.
I had noticed the Colombian hot dog on the menu and wondered what the Hell it was. The egg on top in particular was baffling.
The above picture doesn't even do it justice. It was covered in crushed potato chips which are not really visible there. I have to give it a thumbs down though. The hot dog itself was great. it was high quality and covered in a piece of bacon. All the colored stuff and potato chips were like...way to weird and random though
2/5
here are some others. crazy stuff https://www.google.com/search?q=colombian+hot+dog&client=firefox-b-1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-2JG4zazdAhWId98KHelzDGAQ_AUICigB&biw=1600&bih=767#imgrc=qfbL-IX5gfVnAM: (https://www.google.com/search?q=colombian+hot+dog&client=firefox-b-1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-2JG4zazdAhWId98KHelzDGAQ_AUICigB&biw=1600&bih=767#imgrc=qfbL-IX5gfVnAM:)
Staring at that....I'd eat that! :thumbup:
That looks amazing.
I didn't have the quail egg, but they are supposed to be very good. It was an odd odd concoction and i will buy you one if you are ever out here
I'd give it a shot if it didn't have an egg on it. Otherwise, it looks great.
I was thinking like all of you until I read Lester's review. Yech. I'll just take great dog on a good roll.
I kind of like the idea of crushed potato chips on a hot dog. I usually pile German style roasted onions on mine, so I'm all about the crunch. The inclusion of an egg is weird though.
I'd wolf that sucker down and buy another! LOL
it was 8 dollars! no idea why, the place is very cheap

I reckon quail eggs ain't something you get cheap. I dunno.
I had hot dogs in Portugal that had potato sticks on them. I've also had hot dogs (in either Brazil or Portugal . . . I don't remember) that had kernels of corn and shaved carrots on them.
burgomaster - I thought that said hot dogs with popsicle sticks on them :cheers:
That hotdog reminds me of a one-man band at a county fair playing drums, trombine, guitar, harmonica and bagpipes all at once.
i swear i know that building! i used to buy the BEST knishes there from a lady who HAD to be at least 8000 years, back in 1982! around the corner was a small boarding house where my friend al lived, that has GOT to be the same building.

Knishes!b Oh my gawd!We had pizza too!
When I lived in NYC-the Bronx- I ate street hot dogs, pretzas and pizza. Thats it.
Well it probably is better than a Colombian neck tie.

If you threw in Twinkies, Yodels, Ring Dings and Krimpets to your list you'd be describing what built this body! :teddyr:

Them are called corndogs. :wink:
316zombie - I wouldn't be surprised the neighborhood has changed quite a bit in recent years. Its mainly Spanish but there is still Santarpios, a Polish place, and even an Australian pie place! quite a panaplie however you spell it
there used to be a greek place, it would have been north 2 blocks and then east a block, my hubby loved them. he misses good greek food as much as i miss good jewish food, there's just none to be had in wichita. :bluesad:

You can't find a knish in my neck of Michigan, that's for sure. Upstate in Liberty, NY in 1975, there was this Jewish diner- best knishes ever.
Up in the Catskills.
