Slow, Dog, Slow
Slow Food Nashville and I Dream of Weenie are teaming up for the second annual Slow Food Hot Dog Day on May 3.
City House chef/owner Tandy Wilson and F. Scott’s chef Will Ulhorn will make the homemade dogs, with a mixture of pork and beef most likely coming from Emerald Green and Hill View farms. Rumor has it that pitmaster Patrick Martin from Martin’s BBQ will be there smoking some of the dogs.
The event works like this: Buy a dog for $5, then make a contribution of any amount to Slow Food Nashville and you can sidle up to the toppings bar brimming with local ingredients such as homemade sauerkraut, slaw and pickles. Then cop a squat on the ground outside I Dream of Weenie and Art House Gardens and enjoy the first of the season’s dog days.
