Thu Apr 26 09:21:43 -0700 2007 21490 celeriac 1 2517432 as of last week, i hadn't seen it. but i hope it's soon- im dying to try it! Thu Apr 26 10:10:52 -0700 2007 2517230 45862 tomatosoup 1 2517859 I walked by there yesterday, and didn't see it. It's technically possible that I just didn't notice it, but that would be the first time that I've come within bitin' range of a hot dog and not thought, "mmmmmmmm, hooot dooog." For reference when they do open, I much prefer the regular to the spicy, and I usually like spicy things. It just seemed to get in the way of the Pure Hot Dog Experience. Thu Apr 26 11:55:30 -0700 2007 2517230 70866 Tartinet 1 2518908 what's this???? chez pascal has a hot dog cart??? i am clueless, please describe this. it sounds like an ingenious idea. where is it? Thu Apr 26 16:29:04 -0700 2007 2517230 47911 ginqueen 1 2518932 On the first of May, on good word. I hear there may even be a Brisket sandwich addition to the cart. For those in the un-know, the Hewtins Dog Cart is in the park across from Chez-Pascal, daytime weather permitting. All relishes and condiments are top drawer and made in the CP kitchen---- details forthcoming on this years line up. I think last year there was duck fat braised sauerkraut. Thu Apr 26 16:35:41 -0700 2007 2517230 89385 coastaltransplant 2 2519300 Brisket sandwich? Oh good lord, let that be true. Yeah, the cart is really terrific, they use an excellent dog and all the condiments are delicious. I'm only so-so on the braised kraut though--I actually would prefer raw kraut for that briney, acidic bite. The cooked kraut, while delicious, isn't my ideal with a hot dog. But it's still terrific. I can't believe I'm finding a way to complain about it. It's like Providence's own little Shake Shack, but for hot dogs. Thu Apr 26 18:47:11 -0700 2007 2518932 21490 celeriac 3 2520178 god bless chowhound! thank you for providing details for the neophytes. learning that chez pascal has a hot dog cart with duck fat-braised sauerkraut just completely made my day. Fri Apr 27 07:02:31 -0700 2007 2519300 47911 ginqueen 1 2521125 Excellent sausage, extraordinary condiments, but the bread... I guess all anyone expects from a hot dog bun is that it keep their fingers clean and be more edible than a napkin. Something to admire about Spike's - not that it is superb bread but it is an order of magnitude better than the usual. Fri Apr 27 11:40:37 -0700 2007 2517230 43399 atheorist 2 2592407 I like my hot dog buns to be soft, totally cheap white bread buns. The 'bready' sides, not crust sides like a weiner. Tue May 22 12:19:36 -0700 2007 2521125 13807 JaneRI 1 2532329 I went today to cehck out if it was up and runnning (It was). I had a regular hot dog with sauerkraut. The sausage itself was good but nothing extraordinary...just another beef hot dog but the toppings are quite good and the bread is solid. Next time I will have to be more adventurous and either try the spicy hot dog or the corned beef brisket sandwich. Tue May 01 15:28:19 -0700 2007 2517230 39295 Sambossanova 2 2532878 Just curious -- what's the price for one of these delicious sounding dogs? Tue May 01 18:16:07 -0700 2007 2532329 25708 Keithel 3 2533197 I believe it was 4.25 for the brisket sandwich. Plain hot dog without sauerkraut or chili 2.50 or something like that. With sauerkraut or chili 2.75 or 3.00 around there. Not bad. Tue May 01 20:44:39 -0700 2007 2532878 39295 Sambossanova 1 2534569 Silly question, where is it? I'm not familiar with Prov to know where "Hewtins Dog Cart is in the park across from Chez-Pascal" But I want to be! Thanks all Wed May 02 10:24:40 -0700 2007 2517230 44700 dpnpt 2 2534753 It is in the park on Hope Street that is before Blackstone Blvd intersection. I think its around 11th street or so. It is after Seven Stars bakery/Not Just Snacks etc... Wed May 02 11:04:17 -0700 2007 2534569 39295 Sambossanova 3 2534778 To be very precise: off Hope across from Ninth St. Wed May 02 11:09:42 -0700 2007 2534753 44058 madgee 4 2535099 Thanks so much. I'll check it out next time I'm up that way. Wed May 02 12:18:28 -0700 2007 2534778 44700 dpnpt 5 2542824 I went to the hot dog cart today---was looking forward to it all week----and was derailed by the brisket. Tried it (on a hot dog roll, w/stewed onions, sauerkraut, dijon and some shredded cheese). I ate it on the ride home and almost went back for another one. Fantastic. But now I have to go back for a hot dog--I still crave one. Fri May 04 15:50:00 -0700 2007 2535099 69564 Moonpie1 6 2543266 I am wondering who makes their brisket? Can't imagine a french place making it just for the cart. Wonder if they get it from LJs just down the street? Fri May 04 18:50:02 -0700 2007 2542824 23587 Jenkins 7 2543724 I can vouch for the brisket, it's made from scratch at chez pascal. Sat May 05 04:28:21 -0700 2007 2543266 89385 coastaltransplant 1 2592339 what are the days and hours of the cart? sometimes i see it, sometimes i don't- and i can't quite figure it out! Tue May 22 12:00:42 -0700 2007 2517230 45862 tomatosoup 2 2592405 after a disappointing trip up there yesterday, i checked--it's 11:30 until "about 5," Tues-Sat, weather permitting.
