A nice Sunday took us to meet friends at Easterbrooks hotdogs near the Royal Botanical Gardens. It felt like being on location at a Diners, Drive Ins and Dives episode. The only thing missing was Guy Fieri! There were 3 booths and a couple of counters with bar stools. It looked like your usual red/white/black diner from the 50’s (which has not been updated since) complete with Elvis’ photo on the wall.
It took us a while to decide on which topping to get for our footlong hotdogs. There were so many to choose from! But, being a chili-lover, I had to try their chili dog. I got a plain footlong to be shared by the girls. Hubby got a Nacho dog (with salsa) while Grandma got a Mexi dog (with salsa and cheese). We also got some onion rings on the side. Service was fast and friendly. The dogs were yummy and the toppings were generous enough. We were all quite happy with our choices.
Before long, the girls were clamouring for some dessert. They had a whole section for ice cream with dozens of flavours to choose from. These were a bit pricey at about $3 per scoop—almost the same price as the less fancier footlong hotdogs. Sugar and waffle cones cost extra. The girls had Blue Bubble Blast (blue ice cream always attracts these kids!) and we tried some mint chip and almond fudge. They were ok but not really something I would come back for. As for the dogs, there are definitely enough varieties that I’d like to try out next time. Now the roses should be in bloom soon...another trip to Royal Botanical Gardens might be in store!
