Genius on 18th St.
Washington, meet M'Dawg. The puppy-themed "haute dog" joint was opened recently by the same people who brought us the Amsterdam Falafelshop, and you'll see the similarity.
M'Dawg offers your choice of 3 different buns and about 15 different types of dogs, from the humble Hebrew National to a $22 Kobe beef dog. And 3 flavors of veggie dogs. But the real joy is the toppings bar, where for a dollar extra you can add any of a dozen hot and cold toppings. Mmmm...
There are a couple of flaws here, though. First, the cost: each dog will run you $5, and the toppings bar is a dollar on top of that. Not bad for a decent meal in DC, but something inside me shuddered at coughing up $27 for our four-dog meal. I mean, these are hot dogs. Second, the veggie dogs: sawdusty and dry, another brand or house-made dogs might make them worth the price.
But anyway, check it out, across the street from the Falafelshop on 18th in Adams Morgan.

Falafels at 3am? God, I miss living in the northeast!
I've been there twice and I've liked it. Yes, it's a little pricy, but those aren't dinky dogs...they're huge.
Totally agree with the pricing, but how can you beat the toppings bar? Until the street vendors start offering carmelized onions and apricot chutney, I'll stick with M'Dawg. :) Check out my review at:
