Tony's Texas Hots

Tony's has been around for longer than anyone seems to remember. To locals, it's just always been here. It's a narrow luncheonette that's been recently spiffed up a bit, a row of stools at the counter in front, and just a few tables in the scruffy back area. The thing to get is a chili dog with onions. This is not the sort of hot dog one would want to eat naked; it cries out for adornment, and the chili and mustard and onions together make it sing. And we do recommend you get the diced raw onions, which provide the necessary crunchy balance to what would otherwise be a rather pinguid sandwich.
