Finally had a chance to have a Chicago dog from the Catalyst food truck. I have been searching for a the elusive Chicago dog every where and Catalyst is one of the only places you can find one. Since there are two food trucks that circulate the DMV area, it is a bit hard for me to find them in my spare time especially nearby. The hot dog was tasty and definitely worth the wait, there was a short line that moved fast. The service was excellent and with plenty of smiles. I ordered both the Chicago dog and the Texas chili dog with cheese. Wish I had known for only a couple of dollars more, It could have included a drink and chips. I would love to try some other toppings and appetizers the next go around.

Our group stopped at Catalyst Hot Dogs during a 7 day hot dog road trip. It was National Hot Dog Day and they were set up on Prosperity Dr. next to the Lexus dealership. I think they had initially said in the Home Depot parking lot so if you can't find them just do a quick loop of the area. We parked in an empty corner of the Lexus Dealership and didn't have any problems. The Instagram post said they'd be set-up starting at 11. Our friend who got there at 11:15 told us not to rush as they weren't ready yet. When we arrived at 11:25, they were just taking their first customer. The big trailer was at our location so we got to try a variety of their dogs. Really wanted to sample their garlic knot hot dogs but they were out. Our group ended up with: A Nico Suave - delicious, really liked all the condiments and those potato stix giving lots of crunch 2 Lincoln Logs - just ok. Feels like a riff on a Seattle dog but the plain cream cheese and nothing else left us wanting more flavor. Seattle dogs have grilled onions. I think a scallion cream cheese or even everything bagel seasoning on top of the plain cream cheese could make this delicious. A Dog House - simple. delightful. A New York Dog - really good. Hot onion sauce had that little bit of spice and a Side of Fries - well-seasoned and hot Gentleman in the truck confirmed our order with us a few times just to make sure we got everything and we did. A $20 two specialty dog combo seemed like a touch expensive *in this economy* but everything is expensive now and I could tell these folks are using quality ingredients. Keep up the good work Catalyst Hot Dogs!

I like a good hot dog but it's not something I usually crave but one night while I was in the area, I decided to finally check them out. The inside is a standard bar with plenty of liquor and TVs. There's also a lot of outdoor seating, which is what I chose. The lady at the front was really friendly and even offered my dog a bowl of water. I decided on the chili cheese dog, fries, and a side salad. My daughter ordered a cheeseburger kids meal. The food was good. I loved the thin and crispy fries. My daughter loved her food. All together, my experience was good but I can't wrap my mind around paying $31+ for a hot dog dinner again.

Hot dog was cooked really well and loved the toppings with it. The burger was good but it said it came with lettuce, onion, and tomatoes but then had nothing on it. We had to put the toppings from the hot dog on it. We got the food truck at Sugarloaf Winery. It was a good food truck for a winery. Workers were nice.

I stopped by the food truck during the Greenbelt Labor Day Festival. My burger was hot and fresh. We joked about payment because for some reason I said ,"do you take cash, card, or CHECK!" Lol! Lastly, the customer services is superb!

A very friendly and hardworking guy.

Absolutely delicious food and a spotless work area. VERY Impressed with the cooks also. I will recommend to everyone.

Chicago dog, but w/o a poppyseed bun. I had a molar pulled the day before and did't want to risk the little seeds creating an issue,

First-timer here when their truck showed up in my community. As a native Chicagoan I know a proper Chicago dog when I bite one, and this hit the mark!

This hotdog place has a Happy Hour amazing onion rings, Max fries, an of course hotdogs on toasted buns. I will be coming back with my appetite again.

In response to the owner: You mad, bruh? We were really looking forward to checking out Catalyst Hot Dogs, as both the photos and the menu looked tasty. We made the trek to Denizens, which you can grab a table or order at the bar for to-go. We ordered: +Hanks - this came topped with Texas chili sauce and cheese - I personally was looking forward to this, because I do like a good chili cheese dog, but we both were just not fans of the chili +the Chicago Dog - topped with sport peppers, green relish, tomatoes, onions, dill pickles, yellow mustard, and celery salt; this came in a poppy-seeded bun; I thought it was interesting that all the toppings were diced and mixed; I guess it was easier to eat? +the UMD-OG - topped with black bean puree, corn sauce, fried red tortilla strips, and cotija cheese; this may have been the 'more preferred' one out of the three, but the corn sauce was too sweet for us, and the tortilla strips were stale and chewy, and not crispy as we thought it would be +and, Disco Fries - fries topped with gravy and mozzarella; these were actually okay, but it seemed as if it was more cheese sauce than gravy; it would have been great if there were more gravy in there; definitely have to consume this right away, as the fries do get soggy quickly All the hot dogs looked tasty, with the split ends and a bit of a char; however, the hot dog itself was pretty bland - this was pretty surprising, as we had rave reviews of their dogs. All the buns were super dry and stale, and there seemed to be some toasting action with the dry/stale buns. We were also hoping that the items came out piping hot, as we thought we were waiting for made-to-order items, but everything was lukewarm at best. Staff were friendly, and there were some patrons dining inside. We wished we had the same tasty experience as others have had, but it was pretty disappointing; we ended up tossing most of the items after a bite. +dry/stale buns +friendly service +located inside Denizens Brewing Co. +street parking available

The all the ways dogs. The bun was very tasty as well as the chili. The snap of the hotdog was extremely pleasant. I never had a hotdog cooked the way this one was. The onions I wasn't a big fan of but that's a personal preference. It does have mustard as well as all good hotdogs should . The rating for me was impacted on the price. A little order $16.96 for what you see in the photo is pricey.

Despite having been shot by Sofia, John Wick secures her reluctant help in setting up a meeting with her former boss, Berrada, because Wick once rescued her daughter from an impossible situation. John, Sofia, and her two expertly-trained Belgian Malinois, wearing bulletproof vests, stroll into Berrada's headquarters, all-too-cognizant that, at a moment's notice, the situation could turn sour; and it does. But what if this weren't dystopian fantasy? And what if, instead of the location being Berrada's Moroccan hotel, it was at Denizens Brewing, located at 4550 Van Buren Street in Riverdale Park, Maryland? There, the dogs that Sofia could order to assuage her hunger or quell that of her would-be assassins are not Belgian Malinois but rather the all-beef variety; and the cheese, chili, and onion toppings provide plenty of ammunition, beginning at noon every Monday through Sunday.

I had heard about this food truck many times but I happened to chance upon it at the outlet mall…read morefinally( didn't even know they were allowed to have food trucks there?) From ordering to having the food in my hand,it literally took a minute. For about $7.95 I had a delicious warm nutella and banana stuffed crepe, dusted with powder sugar. What more could one ask for before braving the holiday shoppers on a cold rainy winter night?

OMG!! So good..I mean, seriously that good..like, I inhaled the crepe before remembering to take a…read morepicture of it for yelp-type good. So Holy Crepes came to my job for our weekly "food truck fridays", and they did not disappoint. After several failed attempts to 'check-in' on yelp, the guy taking orders within the truck offered me a free crepe anyway..as part of the advertised yelp promotion. I sincerely appreciated his offer, and ate every last bite. Since Im pretty new to crepes (don't you dare judge me, yelp peeps), he recommended the Nutella, strawberry, and white chocolate crepe for me to try. Yessss...we have a winner!! The crepe was light and fluffy, and the white chocolate chips added a sweet savory tasty to the nutella and strawberry. So come to find out, this nice guy is Boris, the actual owner of Holy Crepes! Thank you again! Overall, I highly recommend holy crepes...p.s. don't forget to check-in if its your first time.
