“Can you handle 9 inches long?” the tagline at San Antonio hot dog joint El Chunky reads.
A couple of well-dressed dogs and corn in a cup from El Chunky make for a serious meal.Should this strike fear, let it be known that the snappy and juicy all-beef dogs at El Chunky may start out at nine inches, but with the application of heat, they shrink by roughly an inch, making them more manageable. What you should really be concerned about is the bulk of accessories and garnishes that adorn what the South Presa Street eatery calls “the best Mexican hot dogs.
The more deluxe Dogo specials weigh in at $11 and include the Fajita Chunky. At this point you need to know that another enterprise — the equally cheeky El Taco Huevon — shares kitchen space with El Chunky, making available beef fajitas along with carne asada and al pastor. Front and center in Barrio Dogg is the front grill of a ’58 Chevy painted in a tangerine-flake color. It emerges from the wall behind the interior counter and is surrounded by murals by local artists along with photos of low-rider cars and culture. An accordion sits to one side. Serape-like stripes also abound — on the restaurant’s interior and even in the to-go packaging.But the proof is in the product. There are fewer choices at Barrio Dogg, but they make up for it in inventiveness.
