St. Albans HDJ Review - Butcher's Black Angus
Editor's Note: This is the first review from Wimpy, our newest Weenie Wonk. Welcome to the team, Wimpy!
Sure, you can do some shopping at this small, neighborhood market. But you’ll want to saunter over to the deli case and order a couple of hot dogs to take home (or to the car.)
They’re delicious.
Hot dogs are “made your way” with chili, ketchup (!), mustard, onion and slaw listed as options.
Slight score deduction for the ketchup hiccup and the added cheese offering.
Be sure to upgrade to the all beef weenie, because of course, we go premium.
It takes a few minutes, no matter how busy the store is. They take their time steaming the buns and applying the toppings neatly. It’s a generous portion of toppings, yet they hold their place. Save the napkin for your mouth afterwards.
The chili/sauce is meaty, finely ground beef with a good proportion of spice. It marries well with the slaw, perfectly blended between creaminess and its shredded cabbage.
(The in-house made chili/sauce and slaw are also available fresh made daily to purchase from the deli cooler.)
This hot dog seemingly melts in your melt, yet with a crisp snap of the beef weenie. The taste of summer, available 12 months a year in fact.
Butcher’s Black Angus is known for its quality meats and specialty item availability. And there’s plenty of lunch meats, salads and spreads to choose from.
If it seems like a blast from the past when you walk in, I’m sure that it is intentional. Good stuff, that will likely take you back a few years.
4 Weenies.

I remember when it was the “terrace tower” owned by the curry family back in the 50s.

based on this blog, I drove to the shop from Dunbar (Tues) to try out their hot dogs. Unfortunately, once I got there, I was told they do not serve hot dogs on Tuesday...oh well, wasted trip....
