Bull City's best hotdog

It's official. I've now tasted the best hotdog in Durham. Seth Gross just celebrated his restaurant's grand opening this past Thursday. Bull City Burger & Brewery in downtown Durham is a farm-to-fork style restaurant that features gourmet burgers and hotdogs and "works closely with North Carolina beef farmers who raise the grass fed, no hormone added, antibiotic-free beef that [the restaurant] grinds daily to make [their] hamburgers and all-beef hotdogs."  

Hubby, Caleb and I were anxious to be some of the first customers to taste what Seth had cooking - and we walked away very satisfied.

 
I ordered the build-your-own hotdog with relish and caramelized onion while hubby ordered the Green Monster specialty burger - complete with gruyere cheese, raw onion and roasted poblano peppers. We got a side of duck frites and deep fried pickle chips with pretzel crust. My hotdog was so deeply satisfying and I can honestly say it is the best I've ever had. Knowing the philosophy behind the food at this restaurant made me feel good about eating it. And let me not forget to mention the housemade bun. Perfection. So worth the carbs!

Our meal was accompanied by a Fullsteam IPA and a petite syrah to quench our palates.

There is even a children's play area for our little angel. He made friends immediately, playing in the toy kitchen, as hubby and I took in the scene around us. 

From our point of view, it looks like Bull City Burger and Brewery has filled a vacancy in Durham - and has done so in a most delicious way.
