Jerry’s Wood-Fired Dogs opened today at 6340 Gaston Ave. This So-Cal import uses all beef dogs in natural casings and offers more than 38 toppings; diners can build their own dog or order from the menu of Jerry’s favorites.
Jerry’s dogs are cooked over a mesquite wood-fired grill, which is their namesake claim to wiener fame. Those who like to witness the preparation of their meals can grab a front row bar stool at the kitchen counter and watch it all happen.
Here’s a sampling of the wide-ranging menu:
Southwest Dog: bacon, chili, onions, cheddar, and crushed Fritos The O.C. Dog: cucumber, feta, avocado and ranch Cleveland Dog: Cleveland stadium mustard, onions, sauerkraut and celery salt Reuben Dog: pastrami, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Island dressing Smokey Joe’s Kielbasa: European style sausage with lean pork, cracked black pepper and special spices, then smoked in the smoke house. Jalapeño Hot Link: Texas style lean pork with Tex-Mex spices and smoked with jalapeños.
