Shove It

Hopefully that last post did not traumatize anyone too much.  Whether it did or did not, this next post is gonna be a good one.  Because I am posting about FOOD again!

With the weather getting warmer now in San Diego... well, warmer than it was earlier this year (I understand we didn't get the same winter everyone else in the country did, but hey, it was a winter for us), I started reminiscing on this past Winter Break when I went to Lake Tahoe with the fam bam.  We hung out mainly in South Lake Tahoe and on our trip ended up finding an amazing FOOD FIND THAT I CANNOT WAIT TO GO BACK AND EAT AGAIN.

What is this delicious food I have ranted on about without even mentioning the name of you ask?

EuroSnack Inc: Frog Dogs & Belgian Waffle!

Now, hold up.  Before you freak out, it does not involve eating real frogs or anything, and the "Frog Dogs" were actually Hot Dogs!

This was me, because I AM Batman, and I Enjoy Frog Dogs

What made these hot dogs amazing I should say is that Frog Dogs are not served in typical hot dog buns, but fresh, crunchy, filling baguettes with a delicious sausage placed inside.  What's really cool about the little kiosk EuroSnack Inc. is the way that they prepare the Frog Dogs.  They take the half baguette you are about to enjoy, SHOVE IT (you get the title of the post now?) into these metal spike, squish the interior "meat" of the baguette, and squish it against the walls to make room for the sausage.  Then they squirt ketchup and/or mustard into the new slot in the baguette, and place the heated delicious sausage inside for you to enjoy.



LOOK AT IT!

It was amazing!  And what makes it so much cuter and approachable and Awesome, is that it is all in a kiosk of sorts.



You can find these kiosks at a bunch of ski resorts in Lake Tahoe like North Star, Squaw Valley, and a bunch other ski resorts (and I just found out thanks to the internet that they have them in CANADA! This Got Better).  We ended up buying more than one hotdog anytime we found a EuroSnack at the ski resort we were visiting for the day and were basically just dreaming of a larger Frog Dog that we could indulge in and drool over to eat up.

JUST...LIKE...THIS

Also, in case you were looking at the menu above of the different foods they eat.  They pretty much just sell beverages and Frog Dogs, but they also sell Le Wafe, or better known as Belgian Waffles.  If you have ever had the belgian waffles they sell at Jamba Juice, they are sort of like those, but because they are EuroSnack, they have their own pizzazz (not to be mistaken for pizza but to be read as pii-zazzzz).  They were pretty good but considering it was actually winter with snow and all that jazz, the warm hot dogs definitely hit the spot.

Like no kidding, those hot dogs were amazing and we discovered them halfway through our trip which meant that we knew we were limited on time on being able to enjoy them.  So we ate them a lot.  We sort of were going through withdrawals when there wasn't a EuroSnack kiosk at the ski resort we were visiting for the day, or even worse, when we finally left Tahoe and headed back home and would no longer be able to enjoy the Frog Dogs.


This was basically us, impersonating hot dogs and dreaming of a better tomorrow where maybe, just maybe, we would find a EuroSnack near our home or wherever we would be for the day

I CANT WAIT TO GO BACK TO TAHOE AND EAT MORE FROG DOGS
