I took a trip to the Glendale Galleria mall to get a new fit for our first After Hour golf outing. The After Hour is a show I do with my friends Chin, Casey, and Mark. We also use to have Kevin, but he left a couple months ago and we miss him. Would love for him to come back to the show, but also probably wouldn't want to give him an even 5th of the pod like before, so I don't know how feasible that is.
But I digress. So Aysh and I are planning to head straight to Dick's to get my new threads because as everyone knows: Look good, feel good; feel good, play good. But the parking structure was a mess. We might as well been on the 405 on a Friday at 5 pm before a long weekend. The parking lot was, well, a parking lot. After about 30 minutes we finally snuck into a spot. At this point the hunger was overtaking us so our plan of eating AFTER Dick's was now out the window as the hunger was setting in and FAST. We beelined to the food court and split up as we usually do, since Ayshia doesn't eat meat. She says she's allergic, but I think we could use sort of a desensitization therapy to acclimate her to meat once again, but she's pretty resistant to this idea thus far.
But I digress again. After we had split up, that's when I saw it. BOOM DOG. I had happened upon it before at a previous trip to the mall and was intrigued, but had already purchased a meal from Hot Dog on a Stick. This time, I knew I had to try it. The pictures of the food are insane. Imagine this: A corn dog. But instead of a breaded cover, it was covered in Fried Chicken. WOW. And that's just one of the options. I went to the counter, and was initially overwhelmed, but gained my composure, checked out my options and made my choice. I got a potato covered corn dog and fried chicken covered corn dog. My one gripe is that on section #2 of the menu, you can get as your filling for the dog whole mozzarella, mozzarella and beef dog, mozzarella and cheddar, beef dog, or cheddar and beef dog. These are displayed in text along with ILLUSTRATIONS, not pictures, of the food. The illustration gives the impression that if you get cheddar and beef dog, it would be a whole dog COVERED in cheddar. Au contraire mon frere. It's actually only HALF cheddar and HALF dog. That was really disappointing. I would have gotten a whole dog and cheese on the side or something. Or, as crazy as it sounds, maybe not even cheese at all. For this, I must deduct a star. But the food was delicious nonetheless, so rest assured the 4 stars are still fully intact.
If you're wondering, the golf outing had some bumps in the road, but overall was a really good time. I shot a pretty honest 114 and was very happy with that considering I hadn't golfed in 6 years. Casey and Mark did get into a little bit of a tiff, but I thought it was kinda funny. I tried to record it with my Meta Glasses, but only caught the tail end.
Overall I would try Boom Dog again, but I just wish they were more explicit about the the cheese to dog ratio inside the dog. Great experience overall. read more
