Even though Caspers is a Bay Area institution, I never set food in one until yesterday. The menu is pretty straight forward - it's all about the hot dog and each dog variation hovers between the $2-$4 range. Toppings are straight-up too. Fresh tomatoes, hand-cut onions, mustard, relish... The chili cheese dog features a mostly-bean chili and finely shredded cheddar.
I get the impression that the dogs are famous for their natural casing, which their website describes as the "SNAP sensation." My first reaction was that the snap is more like an entertaining, semi-rubbery squeak. That's probably not the most tantalizing description, but the audible reminder that you're eating THAT-part-of-an-animal casing can freak you out if you haven't thought about it much before.
I'll be back for more, but I'm not going to leave my Costco dog any time soon.
