I love the Doug. Really, it's a unique take on being a great restaurant. I love it.

I will now offer a criticism: There should be more/better vegetarian options. They should be on a par with the non-vegetarian options. With vegetarian casings available, the following would all be fine additions to the menu:

Leek+potato+mustard seed w/dilled creme fraiche
Atrichoke+roasted red pepper w/ mint raita
Sun-dried tomato+Basil+Porcini w/balsamic reduction
Smoked eggplant+garlic w/calamata tapanade
Charcoal-grilled onion+polenta+provola affumicata w/ratatouille
Gorgonzola-fennel risotto w/basil pesto

You are killing me. I would love to have those. The potato leek one would be god. Really, I would be happy with a dressed up Boca sausage even.

I had an unexpected lunch there today with a friend from out of town. Bought him a Mountain man, and he was happy.

Have you ever passed this along to Doug?

Do I just raise my hand or do I have to sign something?

Or just put a Lincoln Log in a bun and smear a pound of Gorgonzola over it.

I thought you weren't going to make that Pete Shelley joke...

For those of us out-of-towners who were looking forward to a trip or four to Hot Doug's at T&G...bad news.

If you still ask for it, you'll be scolded loudly. Another sign asks that you not speak to them while they cook your food. The food, as it usually is in such cranky establishments, is quite good.

I loved that place! I lived a down the road a bit from it and wholeheartedly agreed with their ketchup sign as I stuffed my head full of their delicious falafel.
