Traveling with PugsleyTonks

What is Traveling with PugsleyTonks all about?? My goal is the pursuit of that little slice of Americana. It's not big name or high-cost tourism. PugsleyTonks likes to find that diamond in the rough or go to the out of the way small town. I want to visit the oldest bar in every state with hopes that they serve some PBR on tap. Find that unique "ma-pa" restaurant with an interesting blue collar atmosphere and large portions to match. Or, perhaps its as simple as a little walkabout in the city to discover that strange little statue or other oddities. So, please come and join me in my search for Americana. Discover some obscure attraction or learn some useless information. All are welcome and its really just good, clean travel fun. PT

"FINE" DINING

HILLBILLY HOT DOGS

I hope you have read my blog enough to realize when I label this category “FINE DINING”…I do not mean fine dining in the traditional sense. Absolutely not. Rather, it’s something much better. By FINE DINING, I mean it in PugsleyTonks sense. PugsleyTonks is about unique, interesting, and fun dining establishment that still serve lots of high quality, hearty food. And no place better introduces this category than Hillbilly Hot Dogs.

You are not going to accidentally drive by HBHD. It’s near a town called Lesage, WV. Lesage is not close to anything. HBHD is along the Ohio River on the West Virginia side. Put Hillbilly Hot Dogs in Google maps…then if you are ever within an hour of this place which is not easy to do, it is worth the drive.

How to concisely describe HBHD Hot Dogs?? It’s a classy kind of junkyard…spruced up a bit to include a notable hot dog stand. They even have an indoor dining room…well its actually an abandoned school bus, but I liked it. It even has a wedding chapel if the need arrives. This is a place to put on a serious eat. The featured picture is the “Homewrecker.” It weighs about 4 pounds and if you “git-r-done” in under 12 minutes, you get a Homewrecker t-shirt. If you beat the record holder (less than 3 minutes), its free. I ordered it…ate about half…and my wife and I enjoyed the other half for dinner that night.

HILLBILLY HOT DOGS is truly quest worthy FINE DINING. PT

The Homewrecker…you better train for this one
