It's their secret recipe Greek Sauce - different from any I ever had. A thick slather, with a spicy kick. The owner told me he got tired of making a stock pot of the stuff every few days. Now he heads to a canning processor in Jersey and cooks off enough to last a few weeks. Does it himself, the recipe being secret and all.
The dogs themselves are split, grilled and served with mustard and chopped raw onions. That's a double dog above. Saves ordering two.
And fresh cut fries. Cooked right. Served with cider vinegar or Old Bay seasoning (a Del-Mar Peninsula thing - the same seasoning used for hard shell crabs.
There's a lot more on the menu, burgers, ice cream concoctions, steak sandwiches. Doubt I'll ever make it past their dogs and fries, though.
