Merchant of the Week: Dogmatic

This week, we're taking a closer look at Delivery.com merchant Dogmatic - a hot dog shop near Union Square that's putting an end to dirty water dogs with it's gourmet sausages.

Dogmatic first started as a food cart (maybe you saw them on Bleecker Street?), until two years ago when they opened up their storefront on 17th Street.

Since then, Dogmatic has received lots of praise for their unique sausage sandwiches, that will make you think of hot dogs in a whole new way.

Dogmatic's sandwich starts with a crispy, hollowed-out baguette that is toasted from the inside out on a special heated spike. Inside the bread goes the sausage of your choice (beef, chicken, turkey, pork or lamb) and one of Dogmatic's signature sauces, like truffle gruyere, cheddar jalapeno or sundried tomato feta. There's even an option for vegetarians - asparagus spears or as Dogmatic likes to call them, "the sausage of veggies." The sandwiches pair perfectly with one of the restaurant's signature sides, like mac & cheese, and one of their handmade sodas (we like the coconut.)

For those of you who think all hot dogs are unhealthy, think again. Dogmatic's grass-fed beef, free-range chicken and organic turkey are all naturally low in fat. Plus, these dogs are free of hormones, antibiotics and nitrates. Even the asparagus is locally sourced. Let the guilt-free hot dog eating begin!
