But we&#8217;ll look the other way for the sake of a blog entry. The condiment cup of mustard was higher-class than one would normally expect to accompany a foodstuff that&#8217;s been sitting behind a sneeze guard for an indeterminate period.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 18px;line-height: normal\"><span style=\"color: green\">Grade C<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold\">Mexican Dog<\/span><br \/>\nAt the corner of 4th and Congress, we find a trailer that sells only hotdogs and &quot;Hawaiian&quot; burgers. Anyone with any sense would order there dog with everything on it.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.revolutionsf.com\/bb\/weblogs\/upload\/5\/2055114304494fdb26aeca6.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/>\nNote that this is in the &quot;Mexican&quot; style, which means that the hotdog meat is completely encased in a spiral of bacon. Also there are several strips of Mexican farmer cheese, cut thick and generous. Fried onions and pico de gallo ensure that the hotdog must be consumed with heavy support from the provided fork. The only thing one can say as a negative point about this dog, is that there is nowhere to sit and eat within four blocks. You have to walk down to the river to get out of the realm of parking lots and skyscrapers. But for $3.50, this is more dog than one can handle, at least not without plenty of dripping.<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 18px;line-height: normal\"><span style=\"color: darkblue\">Grade A minus<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congress Avenue runs through the heart of downtown Austin.
