An Epicurean Treasure from Harrisonburg

I went back to JMU for homecoming. We lost the game, but the afterparty was certainly a victory. I caught up with some old friends at Jack Brown's Burger and Beer Joint, one of my favorite places in the world.



The special Saturday night was a bacon-wrapped, deep fried hot dog on homemade coleslaw. The bacon and frying methods kept the dog crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. The bacon adds a little bit of a smoky and sweet flavor. The coleslaw is well-positioned, underneath the showcase of the dish. However, the crunchiness and the bite of the cabbage adds a nice flavor and texture contrast from the hot dog. Everything is sandwiched inside a sweet, Martin's potato roll. This is BY-FAR one of the most pleasurable eating experiences I've ever had. Kick up your tailgate with one of these at the next game!
