Cute little hot dog stand not terribly far from Horseshoe Curve. I have known about this place for…read moreyears, but it took me a long time to get out here. Now I understand the hype. The hot dogs are delicious. Like John Mellencamp's "Jack & Diane" delicious. I ate two of these and wanted more. The chili is something of a secret recipe, and I can see why. It has just enough heat to make it more than just a sauce, but it can be eaten with just about anything and it will taste perfect. It is downright righteous and hits all the right principles. There is also ample parking outside, so you never have to worry about finding somewhere to leave the car. All in all, this is a simple restaurant with simple people making simple food. Simple as that.

When I saw Altoona's Original Texas Hotdogs pop up I didn't have to think much more about it. Located in downtown Altoona, this place has the charm that you would expect to find in some bustling metropolis. However you have it here in Altoona, one of Pennsylvania's biggest cities but with a small town feel. I walked in and made my way to a booth, I was greeted on my way to my seat and told someone would be with me shortly. I sat down and looked at the menu on the table and made my decision fairly quickly. The employees in here are friendly and keep an eye on everything that is going on. Once they saw that I was done looking over the menu someone came to my table to take my order. After placing my order I felt very welcomed here. Every thing I asked for was followed by a "sure thing hun" or "you got it." Waiting for my food I looked around a bit to check this place out. There is the counter that you can order take out from or pay on your way out. Behind that is the grill and fryer where all the food is prepared. Off to the left of that is a counter top to sit at. There are booths along the one wall and some table tops between the booths and counter top. There is also a seating area to the rear of the building. After my look around the restaurant my food arrived. Two Texas Dogs and an order of Chili Cheese Fries. Medium drink to top it off. That came to a reasonable price under $10. The dogs were a bit onion heavy but palatable. I love a good chili and they definitely nailed that here. Not too greasy and the meat was really fine and you could eat this like a soup. Add some mustard and these things are ready to go. The fries were swimming in goodness. Fresh fried these are then topped with a generous portion of both chili and cheese sauce. You need to eat these with a fork unless you are alright with getting a bit messy. One thing you'll need to know here is that if you are getting food most of it comes on paper plates, unless you get a bowl of chili or a side that would soak through, everything is disposable here. Another thing to know, if you pay with a card you will be charged a fee.

The person behind the counter was kind and checked on us once we seated ourselves after ordering. The food arrived reasonably quickly. We split a cheesesteak and white pizza. The pizza crust was a rare happy medium with a crisp bottom crust and slightly doughy center - like pizza hut but not as thick and not greasy. The pizza had a good garlic flavor. I wish I had asked for double cheese. The cheesesteak was good on a toasted hoagie bun. If we lived in the area, it could be our go-to pizza and "sammich" place.

Since I drive by here often this place has been on my radar for a very long time. I have said it…read morebefore, but I am a huge hot dog fan and will try one at a new place whenever given the chance. While on way through the other day I decided to take a few minutes and finally stop in. The building that houses Bull Dogs is rather small and gives off the concession stand vibe. It's a simple and small looking building with covered outdoor seating attached. Once inside you notice that it really isn't that small of a building at all. Rather big on the inside which gives you the opportunity to dine in if you like. Now, after seeing this place for years through my travels I had thought that all they served was hot dogs. Once inside and looking over the menu, I was wrong. They serve just about everything else you can imagine a fast food themed place might offer. From chicken to nachos, so my concession stand vibe kind of does carry through. I don't even know why I decided to look over the menu because I already knew what I was going to get well before stopping here. I was going to order two dogs and be on my way. To my surprise there is a menu option meal deal that you can get yourself a bag of chips and drink. I did just that. Along with the concession stand vibe you kind of get the feeling that you are in someone's kitchen. When you order the meal deal you are told to get what ever bottled drink you want from the fridge. Like go over to the fridge and just rummage through it as if you were at a friend's place. The toppings for the hot dogs are numerous, if you really wanted to you could go all out and get it topped with every single thing on the menu. I did not do that, I went with my old faithful and got nothing more than chili and cheese. It is my motto that you can never go wrong with a good chili cheese dog. The bun for this was amazing and not at all overwhelming to the hot dog itself. Actually it added to the experience. It was one of the softest, tasteful bun I have had a hot dog on. The hot dog itself was no mini, pretend to fit the bun, hot dog. This thing was plump and hung out over the ends of the bun by just a little bit. Making sure to have a good meat to bread ratio. The cheese added an extra saltiness to this and the chili was not too overpowering with spices. In all honesty, I hoovered these down in no time and did not feel guilty about it one bit.

There was plenty of parking around and we had no trouble even with a Uhaul and a car tow.
