Take a Guess What I Ordered at Bubby’s Brisket and Bugsby’s Wieners
I can’t help but love the idea of a little shack that serves up a limited random menu of meat. So when a friend who lives right by Bubby’s Brisket and Bugsby’s Weiners told me about it, I was happily confused. Brisket and hot dogs? I could be very into that.
Half a brisket sandwich is $6 and a hot dog with the works (kraut, onions, relish) is only one dollar! Chili dogs, and big ass 1/4 dogs are also on the menu. So are cheesesteaks, but I needed to stick to Bubby’s signature sandwich.
The half sandwich is pretty hefty. The chopped brisket pieces were totally soft as buttah. I should have gotten some cheese on it to kick up the flavor, but overall I was really pleased with what Bubby had to offer.
So, I was exceptionally staving at lunchtime and kept saying yes to whatever the staff asked me and ended up accidentally agreeing to a chili dog, when I wanted a regular hot dog. Oops. Either way, their snappy hot dogs were surprisingly great. And who sells hot dogs for only a dollar anymore? Especially when that dollar includes a big helping of kraut and onions.
Good team work, Bubby and Bugsby!

It’s very hot today and I didn’t really want to go out for lunch. I figured Buddy’s wasn’t too far of a walk and I just need to avoid the sun. My friend came to my office before we headed to Buddy’s…he was soaking wet from sweat. I sooo didn’t want to go out.
I told myself, it’s wasn’t hot, at least is wasn’t humid. It’s all in my head and I need to get a hot dog with a side of brisket.
There was a short line in front of the place. hhmmm, each time I walk by there, it’s normally empty… but then again, I normally get a late lunch… While waiting in line, the fish cake caught my eye… but I came here for the hot dog and brisket. The 1/4 and chili dog looks good for $1.50… but no.. must stay to my goal. I ordered the brisket (no cheese) and hot dog (ketchup, mustard, and relish). It didn’t took them that long to have it ready.
Hot dog, it tasted like a hot dog, a crispy hot dog. I enjoyed it. Next time I’m going for the other hot dogs they have… fish cake and hot dog… what the.. I want to go back for that… I wonder if it’s the same kind of fish cake I’m thinking about….
Brisket, it has a subtle taste of a stew that I had before containing beef chuck (sometimes brisket), bamboo and hard boiled egg. I though it was just me, but my friend agreed. Now I’m carving the stew…
If I ever wander around center city since I can’t decide what to eat, I normally end up at a food cart getting a hot dog, now my aimless waltz will take me to Buddy’s.
Jamie. How the hell do you eat so much and stay that thin? If you were to burn it off at the gym you wouldn’t have any time to midtownlunch!
