Caspers

While they may not be considered Gourmet by many, Casper's Hot Dogs are one of the last bastions of old-school working-class American Cuisine in Oakland and the East Bay, and still maintain a lot of that value in their food. The way they put it together, the hot dog that is, small wedge of onion small wedge of tomato, maybe a little bit of mustard and relish, and a hot dog that snaps provides the perfect experience as you bite into a soft bun hit a hot onion and then have it cooled by the tomato, and then fighting into the snappy flavor of a delicious sausage, or hot dog, that is. You got to try this if you haven't because like some of the other places I review it's not going to be around forever. This is a piece of Oakland history.

Easy in easy out, even when there's a line. The dogs are always good, great snap on the casing. Buns are always steamed nicely and the produce is always nice and fresh. I guess it would have to be, the go through is so fast, no chance for it to go bad. I had two of the Famous Casper Dogs, my usual. I love the fact that they put tomato on it. It works so well with the white onion and mustard. All in all, great hot dogs.
