I got a freebie from Scoutmob and I read about this new Asian-style hot dog shop on Fillmore, so I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Holy Dog is located at 1552 Fillmore, just off Geary Blvd. Now, they serve a bulgogi hamburger, but they couldn't serve me a hot dog with bulgogi on top, like the one I had in NYC. I opted for the Kimchee Dog (5.95), a smoked bratwurst with, I must say, an unappealing topping of soggy kimchee and onions sauteed with some kind of sauce and doused with cheese whiz. I would have been happy with a good all-beef dog topped with uncooked kimchee.
I actually started my quest at Bun Mee, 2015 Fillmore near Pine St. The Scoutmob coupon was good for a free shredded Napa lettuce salad or the Mango Sesame Salad pictured here. This was gone in about four bites, but what do you want for free? I needed more, so I ordered the Salt and Pepper Garlic Fries (4.5), which are excellent even though I didn't get a lot of garlic flavor. The cook said he may have been a little stingy but would do better next time. The great thing about these fries, besides being perfectly crunchy and non-oily, is that they include sliced jalapeno and red onion. If you order these just say you want plenty of garlic. The black pepper gives a nice kick, BTW.I definitely want to go back for a bahn-mi, even though they're a bit pricier than what you find on Larkin St. They use Kurobuta pork, there is a crispy turmeric catfish that sounds good and for you vegetarians there is smoked eggplant.
I'll wait until my second visit before I give a rating. To see the menu got to:www.bunmee.co
