I am constantly reminded why the South Sound area is such a cool place to live.  Take for example Hot Rod Dog (1742 Pacific Ave, (253) 593-6030).  Isn't it fabulous we have a hot dog stand with all of the fixings, under cover, right in the middle of downtown?  I went classic recently with an all beef wiener, then spread sauerkraut, relish, catsup and brown mustard across the bun.  Pure heaven. â€" Jason de Paul
