Hot dog! Switch restaurant to open Billy K’s Lemonade Stand

-

Some might call them hot dogs, others might call them handheld cardiac arrest units, but I call them delicious. Look for Switch restaurant in the 798 district to formally open its deck this Saturday. It will be known as Billy K’s Lemonade Stand, after co-owner Billy Kawaja, and will obviously have homemade lemonade, and in two versions, standard and spiked, the latter including one shot, two shot or three shot vodka options.

While it is still touch and go whether the lemonade stand will be ready for this weekend, the hot dogs will be on the grill, and I had a chance to try some at a recent wedding reception held at Switch. Each wiener is split in half and cooked well before being slid on a grilled bun with a slice of bacon plus cheddar cheese, smoked ketchup and Dijon mustard. In the interests of research, I ate four hot dogs at the wedding and found each one better than the last. That the normally finicky Cellar Rat ate not one but two hot dogs stands as even more of an endorsement.
