Not mine, but damned if I ain't gonna try making these soon...  

  Quote

From the bean and cheese breakfast taco to the raspa, the San Antonio culinary scene is known for a number of signature items.  That includes the crispy dog, the 1950s-era diner favorite made by restaurants and grandmothers alike, according to Texas Monthly. Unfortunately, the crispy dog, a hot dog wrapped in a tortilla with cheese and then deep-fried, is now disappearing from menus, Jose Ralat, a journalist with the magazine, wrote on Monday.

My mom grew up eating those in the valley. Sometimes, she’d make em at home as a treat. They rock.

I prefer a larger wiener, but, yes, would. With enthusiasm.

That is a great idea.

Wonder if you toothpick the tortilla or just hold it together with tongs until it fries a bit to keep it from unraveling ?

Might also be good with flour tortillas.

My mom always did it with a toothpick holding it together.  In the deep fryer at the Pig Stand where she got them growing up, I think they had a cage contraption that held them together.

CFS breakfast that I ate in my car. Hash browns. Over easy. 

I put ketchup on mine. Anyone that doesn't like that can go fuck themselves.

Are you from deep S. Texas?  Because my old man -- not a childish ketchup aficionado by any stretch - puts ketchup on his CFS.  And so do his peers.  I was stunned when I first saw him do it, when I was maybe 8 or so.  But he grew up in Eagle Pass, and I'll be damned -- a lot of guys from Kingsville on south eat their CFS with ketchup on top of the gravy.

It's not something I usually do but I was in a hurry and didn't have any hot sauce on hand. Generally I'd hit the hash browns with a little ketchup and drench the rest in cholula or a similar hot sauce. 

There wasn't a damn thing wrong with it, though.

I grew up dipping my CFS with gravy in ketchup and then one day the thought of replacing the ketchup with cholula hit me (alcohol may have been involved) and it was like

I grew up in the greater Brownwood region FWIW.

Shiiiiit. There’s gonna be a 500% decrease in crown Vic and grand marquis collisions coming out of that parking lot onto steck. I passed by at least one a week when I lived over in them parts.

Yep it’s definitely a south Texas thing. Never liked it but a ton of family did, they also do ketchup with tamales which I can’t even look at

“White people taco night” for the kids who love just bean and cheese on flour. Threw some tots in the air fryer and heated up the leftover taco meat. Little bit of this, little bit of that. Lodi appellation and not vintners blend because I’m not a total philistine.

Went back for round two because Fat Tuesday is right around the corner so we’re making this a fat Friday.

My only regret was that the bear plate was in the wash. And I should have added more cholula.

Man, one of the best times of my life.  I lived off Bent Tree and could walk across the street and get Luby’s.  Or drive up a ways to Mesa, there was Little Italy, Wally’s and Roppollos pizza.  Good times.  Plus you could eat your Wally’s burger in the Anderson High parking lot.

I’m repping this because A. I rep all pics posted in this thread and B. I do enjoy some ketchup on hash browns (only time I use ketchup) and I like when it gets on the eggs or corned beef hash or even the cfs.

That said this was a hard rep because I had no idea what it was until you said it, but hey I repped the thread name sake when he posted plain tortilla chips warmed up on a baking sheet last page so this is at least something combined lol.
