Jackalope

A last minute decision to go to SWSX has resulted in my tastebuds and I spending a long weekend in the always rad city of Austin.  It’s a prime-time weekend to be in Austin, especially for any digital “professional” such as myself.  The days so far have been full of super interesting sessions covering all sorts of topics.  In between however, “a man’s gotta eat…”

Yesterday we stopped by Frank- a gastro-pub-ish hot dog joint.  Their “Hot dogs+Cool Beer” philosophy is a great one to live by.  They also rock the shit out of the simple pairing of sausage and bun.

Meet the Jackalope.  It really should be called the jackalopig.  Why?  well, it’s a hybrid monster made of Jackrabbit, Antelope, and the good ole’ standby, Pork. As if that wasn’t interesting enough, they then go all salty/sweet on it with a huckleberry compote, siracha mayo, and melted cheddah.  There’s alot going on, but it works.  Especially when paired with a Lagunitas Dogtown IPA.  Good work, dudes.
