Last month, we finally made it to Alaska for the first time, taking the cruise we had originally…read morebooked for June of 2020 (thanks, covid!). Unsurprisingly, though, when I checked back two years after I'd made a list of places I wanted to try on that trip, not everything on my original list was still there! Anyway, one of the places yelp told me had closed was called "Dockside Dogs", a little stall by the docks selling really inventive, high quality hot dogs out of a tent. So I made other plans - but the day of, those plans fell through (I'm really glad I got to try Firebrand's bbq the day previous - so fantastic I was extra looking forward to trying their breakfast burritos... until their smoker happened to need repairs the second day out of two we were in Seward and they closed unexpected!) So I figured I'd just walk downtown and see if there was anything I missed, and sure enough, as it turns out, Wild Spoon had *just* opened (when I was there, there were no yelp reviews yet!) - and "Dockside Dogs" was on their menu? Yep - the reason I mentioned Dockside Dogs specifically is: they got a proper cart, expanded their menu beyond only dogs, changed their name and moved downtown, but if you were looking for Dockside Dogs, here they are! I wasn't *super* hungry that day, so I just got one Seattle dog, for $10. Their dogs aren't enormous, so if you were particularly hungry, you'd probably want 2 - still, for Seward, that's quite reasonable, for dogs that, just to be clear, the couple other people in line with me were all raving about, and I totally see why. I'm also happy to say that, even though there were a couple people in front of me, and it *is* all being done out of a trailer, I had a sausage in my hand in just a few minutes. Anyway, it was a pretty fantastic sausage - meaty, juicy, smoky, plenty of perfectly-cooked onions - then, for $2 extra (the "basic" sausage is $8), a bunch of cream cheese. Was the cream cheese worth $2? Honestly, kinda yeah, cream cheese is a perfect sausage topping, and it went perfectly with the sausage and onions, it's a pretty perfect combo, and an extremely satisfying sandwich! I *would* want to try their other dogs if I were ever back in Seward, though, too. (I want to try the chowder, too! Too bad Seward is a jillion miles from California!) Only a couple minor complaints, mainly just due to the fact that they're a tiny operation right now - as far as cold drinks, they only have Izzes and bottled water, and they have literally one seat at one table. When I was there last month with no advance planning, that meant I took their one seat and drank an Izze, but if I were ever back in Seward, I'd come back here for sure, then get a drink somewhere else nearby, take them to a nearby park, Seward is covered in gorgeous parks to picnic a stone's throw away in all directions. (You can tell I miss being on vacation, probably.)

Went here last year and since we were only there overnight, I only had the Kimchee dog, it was so…read moreover the top delicious and the beets were so, so, so tasty. Staying here a week this year and I am really really looking forward to this place. In case you didn't know, the Goddess of Seward is at the window!
