I Want Me A Corn Dog Real Bad

Yesterday, a co-worker turned to me and expressed her desire for a stack of American-style pancakes with crispy (or as they call it here, "streaky") bacon smothered in Aunt Jemima (I advised her of this) syrup and it turned a switch on in me that's been off for a long time: a sudden desire for a corn dog.  Yes, that's right, I know that pancakes and corn dogs don't have any correlation but stay with me here: a hot dog coated in batter and deep fried in oil, my friends.  Far worse than a chip butty, but at least uh, it has a protein element to it.  Sort of.  Vegetarians and vegans turn away (unless you have a vegan corn dog, which sounds even sicker than the original thing) because I have a craving for one (or two ... or four) I just can't shake.  It needs to be dipped in mustard and ketchup too.  I don't know where this hankering came from.  As a child, I hated corn dogs.  My mom (and dad, because you know, I lived in a pretty progressive household where my dad cooked at least 1 or 2 meals on occasion) never made them and I made puking noises every time I saw it on the hot lunch schedule at school.  But then again, school lunch turned me off pizzas (I had a little um, vomiting incident after a slice of school pizza once) and I can't live without them now, so ... not surprised they kept me from my secret love of corn dogs either.  In the coming weeks (read: more like days), I am hoping to recruit one or two fellow Americans (or gutsy Brits) to join me on the quest for corn dog satisfaction at The Diner in Soho.  Anyone with?

  1. If I were in London, I would happily join you on your corn dog quest. (In fact, reading this just made me crave a hot dog from a NYC street vendor... and it's not even 8AM here.) Enjoy your delicious, deep fried snack!
