On any given weekday, at the corner of Country Club Rd and the Exit 20 entrance ramp to 91 Southbound, Marilyn and her Dancing Dogs will serve you up a hotdog you won't soon forget.
There aren't any actual dogs there, by the way. It's just a play on words...
Anyways...
Since I've been visiting Marilyn, the number one item on her menu has been The Junk Yard Dog.
It's a grilled hotdog, cut in half lengthwise, served on a buttered and grilled potato bun.
As you can see, that's not the only thing she puts on that bun.
On goes a heaping helping off her meaty chili, and some of her crisp coleslaw, all homemade.
If you're wondering what's sitting on top of the coleslaw, wonder no more.
Marilyn has concocted a relish that sings to my heart. Don't let yourself be fooled by this, though. This is the same heart that pumps sriracha and bacon grease through my veins. While the relish might seem cool at first, it'll set your taste beds ablaze within a few moments. The relish is such a welcome addition to this hotdog, I insist that she put more on each hotdog. But then again, I'm a fan of hot.
During today's visit, Marilyn informed us of a new addition to her menu. The Junk Yard Pup.
All the typical ingredients, but she throws in some sliced pepperoni. I'd be lying if I told you that I didn't immediately think to substitute the pepperoni with bacon. So she coined the Junk Yard Pig, and shortly thereafter, I ordered two to go.
They were good.
If you're heading South on 91 through the Cromwell/Middletown area, and you're looking to fill your belly for under $5, stop over at Marilyn's for a JYP. I assure you, you'll leave with a smile on your face.
