I have been looking for authentic American hot dogs to satisfy my cravings, and yet the best ones have been at Costco’s. Sadly, you can’t even get in without a membership or waiting in a line that goes around the block especially on the weekends.
Hungry Girl in Taipei and I did go check out a place called Hook in Zhongxiao Dunhua, but their hot dogs were the really thin, mediocre-tasting, non-American kind, and the wait for the food was really long even when we were the only two customers there.
However, I have discovered that Evans Burger does serve some good ole American hot dogs. They come with really tasty fries, relish, lettuce (???), and salsa. The bun’s kinda weird, but the hot dog is good. Evans also has some pretty good burgers. The one pictured is their Chili Beef Burger.
Ok, now I’m hungry.


Are you getting paid for all these restaurant and entertainment mentions?
Sadly no, but I’m always looking for good unique places to eat, so I thought I would share the wealth every once in awhile.
You should check out a place called ‘Pickles’ that’s buried somewhere in 西大夜市. That’s where I went to satiate my burger craving.
Protip: Don’t order the double cheeseburger. Instead of being a two-paddy delight, it’s one paddy with two pieces of cheese.
