I’ve written recently about two hot dog places
in Miami : Dogma and Sweet Dogs. Both are excellent, but they serve sausages
rather than traditional hot dogs. What Arbetter’s serves are mild, mixed-meat
skinless franks… and I wish they sounded even half as appetising as they taste.
These are standard, inoffensive franks that
take on flavour well, which is why they work so beautifully here. The business
has been open for 40+ years and I just LOVE it. This is the place that excites
me most at the moment, any excuse to visit this part of the city. The chilli
dog is great, the dog with the tangy, hot relish is EXCELLENT, combine either
with the chilli cheese fries and I don’t think there is a better plate of food
to be found in Miami for the price… $5.95! The drinks are super cheap too and
if you say “I love Larry Bird” (retired Boston Celtics basketball player) you
get a free refill.
No frills. No pretense. Go!
