00:00Take me out for some hot dogs.
00:04Hamilton, Hamilton, Hamilton.
00:07Yes, that's right.
00:09We are outside the Hamilton restaurant.
00:12And they've been here since 1938.
00:16And their specialty is the hot chi dog.
00:20And the hot chi dog is so famous, it's even got a landmark status.
00:25I mean, we're in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
00:32This was the home of Jim Thorpe.
00:35The Carlisle Indian School, where he learned how to play football.
00:39Arguably one of the greatest athletes of all time.
00:43Well, we're going to see if this hot chi dog is worthy of its landmark status.
00:48Or is it just another disappointment?
00:51Let's find out.
00:55Let's go.
01:26All right, here we are at the Hamilton diner.
01:30One thing I like is the coloring of the hot dogs.
01:33Looks pretty good.
01:35The bun-to-dog ratio is a little bit on the poor side.
01:40It doesn't quite fill the bun.
01:43But the bun is nicely warm.
01:45And I like the coloring and I like the look of the hot dog.
01:48But what's most important is how does it actually taste.
01:51Well, let's find out.
01:55Let's see.
02:05It's got a good grilling taste.
02:07A little bit of a charred taste to it.
02:13I'm going to give this hot dog a hustle double.
02:18I'm going across the USA.
02:21Now, what they're mainly known for is their hot chi dog.
02:26Now, the full hot chi dog is a chili and cheese dog, a cheese slice.
02:31Now, I always prefer these cheese wings or shredded cheese.
02:35With their own special meat sauce.
02:40And covered with mustard and onions.
02:42They call it the hot chi dog.
02:44This hot dog has been recognized as a landmark.
02:47A landmark.
02:49Well, let's see if this hot dog does deserve the landmark status.
02:52Let's actually see how the chili tastes.
03:07Now, there's a nice little spice to the chili.
03:09Doesn't overwhelm. A little bit of a zest.
03:15I'm going to give this hot dog a double down the redundant baseline.
03:22Chili is some old school charm.
03:26The Hamilton restaurant still has that feel of the Greek immigrants that founded it over 80 years ago.
03:36You know?
03:37And the chili was good. It was solid.
03:41And places like this, cultural places like this, make raw dogging fun.
03:47So, if you know any other places I can go, leave a comment down below.
03:51Because you never know what I'm going to show.
03:53So, keep raw dogging and I'll see you down the road.
03:56Take me out for some hot dogs.
03:59Get me one that's only plain.
04:03No mustard or ketchup.
04:06I'll know what the dog is really about.
04:09And it's hoped that this is a good one.
04:13Maybe a home run or a double.
04:16But if it sucks, it will be a strikeout.
04:19And I'm worried of my taste buds.
04:39I'm going to try this.
