Isn't that a corn dog?
Only in a manner of speaking. The corn coating wasn't soft and bready like a corn dog - it was light and crisp. And the brat in the middle was just...wow. They gave us a stone ground mustard dipping sauce, which wasn't like any mustard I'd ever had before. It was quite spicy, with a hint of sweetness.
Easily the best appetizer I've ever had. Even better than the Exploding Shrimp at Tauraso's.
