It’s a simple menu: a “correct hot dog” or a “hot dog with the wrong toppings.”
“I’m trying to incentivize people to do what I think a correct hot dog is, which is mustard and sauerkraut,” Stein said. “If someone wants other things, that’s totally, totally fine. No judgment. But I do reserve the right to assess an additional dollar as a penalty.”
Also available on the menu: “SHIRT OFF MY BACK.” “If someone coughs up a solid grand, I will literally strip half naked, take the shirt off my back, call it a day and walk home,” Stein said.
No one’s taken him up on that offer just yet.
