PR: Derby City Dogs open on Baxter

I think that you are in a minority on that...She seems to be doing very well...

Yeah and the Spice Girls sold millions of records and that didnt make them good either.

Actually they were good....bring them back along with ABBA

They may be good but $6.50 for a quarter pound dog with soda and chips is highway robbery.
I think I'll wait till I'm in Chicago to get my lips and a$$ fix.
Dogs are so cheap... How can anyone justify selling them (even the 1/4lb.) for more than $2.50???
I mean I can get a bison burger from Cumberland for a buck seventy five more (that's with fries) or 2 blue cheese burgers (on 2 for Tuesdays) from Monkey Wrench for not much more.
Where's the value? Hot dogs are cheap food, like slices of pizza. This isn't New York or even Chicago. This is Louisville and a dog and chips and soda should not cost $6.50...

That is way to high for that....

Well, hopefully when Lonnie's opens (a block away), they'll have a little price war.

I'd been thinking the same thing and was surprised nobody else had brought it up. I figured the dogs were either exceptionally good and worth the price or that everyone that was eating them had way too much disposable income (probably didn't drive). Maybe when the novelty wears off and competition opens the prices will drop to a reasonable level.

I think maybe some (not implying anyone here) will be too intoxicated to care what it costs. I live one block away and won't visit anytime soon for that price.

IMO a hot dog served outside of Wrigley Field should not cost as much as or more than one inside the vines.

For what it's worth, at Lonnie's, dogs range from $2.79 to $3.69, and that includes toppings and - with the Clark Street Dog - fries.

It's going to be interesting to see how the competition shakes out when Lonnie's Bardstown opens next month.

Does Lonnie's do veggie dogs?

Ya know, this is off topic a bit, but the hubby and I were STUNNED when we went to Homemade Ice Cream and Pie Kitchen last weekend and were charged almost $13.00 for 2 slices of pie ala mode. We could have bought a whole pie for not too much more. The pie was good, but it wasn't $6.50 per slice good.

The pie was good, but it wasn't $6.50 per slice good.

If I'm not mistaken they don't even make their own stuff anymore. Anyone have the lowdown on that?

Mike, I'm looking at a Lonnie's menu, and I'm afraid there's not much hope for vegetarians there. At least nothing in the way of a veggie dog on the menu. There are a lot of dishes other than hot dogs, but they all seem to be carnivorous: Polish and Italian sausage, hamburgers, Italian beef and corned beef, wings and gyros, catfish and a fish sandwich and shrimp. They have daily special plates, but again, it's things like hot dogs on Monday, Polish sausage Tuesday, etc. Wednesday offers a soul food hot plate for $7.99, but in light of the above, I don't think you can count on it being vegetarian. I'd guess that even the collards are made with ham hock.

Oh well, at least they are making their regular patrons happy.
