Hot doggin’ it: Jerry’s Dogs in Santa Ana

Jerry’s Dogs in Santa Ana

Proof that not everything with bacon tastes better: My hot dog today at Jerry’s Dogs in Santa Ana. It sounded like a good idea at the time. I started thinking of those awesome bacon-wrapped hotdogs from the Mexican vendors I’d get outside the clubs in L.A. uh, eons ago. Anyone know whether any such carts exist in O.C.?

Anyway, they didn’t have bacon-wrapped hot dogs at Jerry’s (they totally should) so when I saw bacon bits on the menu of toppings, I figured, why not? Yeah, as it turns out, crumbled bacon was no substitute for the nice long strips of delicious pork belly. However, my Signature Jerry’s Dog ($3.25) had a lovely snap and I’d order it again with the spicy brown mustard.

Actually, I discovered that the bacon crumbs served a better purpose: I scooped them up with some freshly fried potato chips. That worked out rather nicely.

    I’ve turned on all my co-workers to Jerry’s-where i’m currently killing time responding to blog posts :) You can add Bacon to anything at Jerry’s for 50 cents. Their burgers with bacon are the best in the county.

    Mmmmmm… I love Jerry’s.
    Try the spiral cut dog. It has the same snap, but the spiral cut gives it more edges to get nice and toasty on the grill.

    Sidney,

    Ha, I love that you’re killing time with us! Oh man, I have to try that bacon burger then, mmmm.

    AntoniaForTopChef,

    I like the Spiral too! The Signature and the Spiral are the two I stick to. P.S. I will begrudgingly admit that Antonia rocked it out on the steaks for the last episode of Top Chef. And yay for Spike getting the boot!
