The Frosty Dog

Stardate 65949.2

17:06 - Living in a first world country, one rarely finds herself in the need for food and nowhere to go. I am not speaking of not being able to pick a place; I mean not having a place to go. Not many Focus Foxies get the opportunity, nay the privilege, of rolling down the streets near Cleveland's Airport. I assume this because I want to believe my audience does not patronize run down strip clubs in C-rated cities. I have to say that those streets are littered with houses of sequins and ill-repute. But I digress, we had to pick up someone on our way to Cedar Point. We could have confined ourselves to the airport parking lot, but we were hungry. Therefore, we ventured out into the scummy world of Cleveland to find sustenance.


About a mile away, we found one beacon of hope in the form of The Frosty Dog. The Frosty Dog was the only wholesome place in what I can only assume to be Hell's doorway. It was even considered a family establishment. Now the obvious specialties of The Frosty Dog were their hot dogs. As a small band of compadres, we sampled all kinds of hot dogs from plain to chili to mini corn dogs. Yours truly got the mini corn dogs, but that is to be expected.

What you would not have thought so obvious was their specialty was fried mac and cheese. It came so highly recommended that the woman in front of us explained that while she couldn't eat them, she made her daughter eat them. The logic seemed faulty as to why she did this, but she led us to believe that she could enjoy them through osmosis. She freely told us what to expect. "You know Kraft Mac N' Cheese? It tastes just like that, but fried." Lord, did that description not disappoint. Focus Foxies, if you can see in the picture, that is exactly what they did. They fried Kraft Mac N' Cheese. It tastes like what you would expect. Now the novelty for us DC folk came from why on earth would any one recommend these or feed them to their kids? We weren't sure, but we did make sure we did not leave town until we tried them.

I will have to say that if you are in the vicinity of the Cleveland Airport and hungry, I would go to The Frosty Dog. The hot dogs were great, and the prices were cheap. But do yourself a favor: don't try the fried mac and cheese.
