Food Porn: Saag's Big Atomic Dog



So The Foodie got a new phone (not an iPhone, as The Foodie has issues with touchscreens) which meant taking the old, dusty files off the old phone and saving them to the PC. And what image files do you suppose The Foodie found? Trips to the beach? No. Amazing art from a historic museum? No. Wedding/Bar Mitzvah/Concert footage? No. Extreme close-up shots of Sous Vide Steak & Eggs from the Las Vegas Bouchon? I think you're getting warmer :D

And so I kick off the new Food Pr0n feature with the single best thing you can get at an A's game: The Saag's Big Atomic Dog. Besides that fact that meat in tube form is awesome in general, both the cost (seven bucks - pretty fair pricing for a place where a 12-ounce beer costs nine bucks and a Pepsi runs you five) and exclusivity (you can ONLY get it at the Coliseum) make it noteworthy. Oh, that and the fact that's it's A WHOLE FRELLING POUND!!! The image doesn't do it justice, it's a massive freaking piece of meat over a foot long [Insert off-color penis joke here]. That isn't a regular old hot dog bun pictured...that's a Hoagie style roll you'd normally have a beefy sandwich on and it STILL can't contain the Big Atomic Dog! Bonus: Saag's makes good product. Just ask Hofbrauhaus, the o/g, Michelin-rated beer & sausage King of Germany. When they built their first Beergarden outside of the EU, they tabbed Saag's as their sausage provider [Insert second off-color penis joke here].
