00:00Take me out for some hot dogs.
00:06Alright!
00:07Gooooo!
00:12Ow! Ow! Ow!
00:16Alright, here I am at Wolfie's.
00:20A classic place that's been around nearly 75 years.
00:26And they're an iconic St. Louis hot dog place.
00:30In fact, they're in the Vienna Beef Hall of Fame.
00:34So, you know, this is St. Louis's kind of jealous of Chicago.
00:40Well, if you want to get the Chicago taste, you have to go to Wolfie's.
00:46And they do the Vienna Beef crowd.
00:50So proud that it's Bob Costas' favorite place in St. Louis.
00:54What about me?
00:56I'm here to see if we cast that Franky Tainty's as a raw dog, Wolfie's, and Seymour's.
01:24All right.
01:26Well, this really does feel like Chicago.
01:30The poppy seed bun, Vienna Beef.
01:32It's got nice coloring.
01:34The bun is warm.
01:36I mean, this is good to bun to dough ratio.
01:38Good to bun to dough ratio.
01:40Let's see how it actually tastes.
01:42All right.
01:43All right.
01:45All right.
01:46Well, this really does feel like Chicago.
01:49The poppy seed bun, Vienna Beef.
01:53It's got nice coloring.
01:55The bun is warm.
01:57All right.
01:58I mean, this is good to bun to dough ratio.
02:00Good to bun to dough ratio.
02:01Well, let's see how it actually tastes.
02:04All right.
02:05I'm going to give this a solid double.
02:21Very good hot dough.
02:26All right.
02:27Here's the chili dog.
02:30Now, I don't see any beans in the chili, but they use just the American cheese slice.
02:39Always diminishes the hot dog a little bit.
02:50Chili has a nice taste, nice texture.
02:55It's a hard single right into the outfield.
03:04Could have been a double, but just hit too hard.
03:10And the fries, nice thin cut fries.
03:24I'll give it a 7.1.
03:25You know, they say they serve dogs with dignity here.
03:33And they've been doing it since 1977.
03:35It's always been kind of a drive up place since the 1950s.
03:44But since 1977, when Charlie Ironson, I think that was his name, took it over, they started serving dogs with dignity.
03:50And yeah, I think they do.
03:53Probably the best hot dogs I've had in St. Louis.
03:56But if you know a better place, let me know.
03:59You should never know when I'm back in St. Louis.
04:02So email me, ngtank99 at gmail.com and give me suggestions.
04:06You should never know when I'm going to show.
04:08So keep raw dogging and I'll see you down the road.
04:12And always serve those dogs with dignity.
04:17Take me out for some hot dogs.
04:21Get me one that's only plain.
04:24No mustard or ketchup.
04:27I'll know what the dog is really about.
04:31And it's hope that this is a good one.
04:35Maybe a home run or a double.
04:38But if it sucks, it will be a strikeout and not worthy of my taste buds.
