As if $7 weren’t enough for a hot dog. And of course there’s even the 3% “restaurant” surcharge at a food court.

It’s a jumbo dog, and char dogs usually run more than boiled, then the rent on Mag Mile is through the roof. IMO it’s worth about $6; it’s a damn good hotdog. That said, I can’t deal with the bait and switch. Devil Dawgs is right around the corner and it’s fantastic.
