GOODY GOODY FAMOUS HAMBURGERS. It stands to reason, where there are good burgers, a good hot dog will most certainly be on the menu, especially when they’re Florida all-beef frank- furters. The original 1925 Goody Goody re-opened earli- er this year under the steward- ship of Richard Gonzmart (Columbia Restaurant, Ulele, Cha Cha Coconuts). There’s a really cool vibe to this place with its retro-hip decor, brisk wait staff, and a display case of homemade pies that just doesn’t quit. Since it’s going to take us at least a year to go through every- thing on the menu (they serve

The Loaded French Fries are a treat for the eyes and palate. Fresh-cut and seasoned potatoes are topped with that delicious house-made chili, blistered jalapenos and cheddar cheese. From the milkshake and freeze selections, we loved the Chocolate milkshake made with Old Meeting House real chocolate ice-cream and refreshing Orange Freeze, made with Old Meeting House sherbet.

The Goody Dog is topped with spicy


pickled green beans, sliced tomato, spice mustard and the Goody red relish served on a house-made grilled split roll.

The Fat Slaw Dog is loaded with Goody Goody slaw. For the purist, the Classic Dog is served only with yellow mustard. These are big dogs, so here’s a hint:

KINGS STREET FOOD COUNTER. King is the name of the English Bulldog who owns the human, Stephen Schrutt, who owns the restaurant named after his dog. Think food truck fare in a stationary diner, designed with subway tiles in a cool color combination of white, green and


black. This is the meeting place for dog lovers on Central Avenue in St. Pete for lunch and late night fare. There are eight hot dog items on the


menu, all made with 100% Vienna beef. The Harry Caray, with neon green relish, tomatoes, sport peppers, chopped onions on a steamed poppy seed bun, is visually stimulating with a taste that packs a punch. We also sampled the Sleepy Dog (shown above) topped with applewood bacon, sunny-up egg, cheese and maple syrup. Winter 2017 THE NEW BARKER 91
