There's a seedy charm to Hiram's, which is right across a side street from Callahan's. It's the kind of place you're not sure about going into, but will end up glad you did.

The dogs are deep fat fried, a pork beef blend, and the roll is toasted. There's beer to wash them down and these are dogs meant to be chased by a Bud.

The dogs are shorter and plumper than Callahan's. I though that the Callahan's version fried up better.

Ideally I'd grab a couple of dogs at Callahan's and head across the street to Hiram's for beer and conversation.

Got a feeling Hiram's probably frowns upon that sort of thing, though.
