SAUSAGES AND FRITES

As many of you know, Tom and I have plans to adopt an additional kitty and one day a dog. Not right away - we're gonna wait until we have more room, first, but that didn't stop us from attending the annual SPCA Adopt-a-thon at Jack London Square in Oakland. It was our first time to Jack London Square and there was a lot going on that Sunday. We saw plenty of cute puppies and kitties and there was a also a farmer's market to walk around.

Earlier in the week, I had read of review of a place serving sausage and frites right in the area called O'My Dawg, so we decided to check it out. It turned out to be quite a small shop, and after perusing the menu, I realized that there weren't any non-pork or beef options. That's a little unusual for the Bay Area - even the little hot dog cart a block from work serves turkey dogs, and they only have 5 things on the menu. I think this place will figure it our pretty soon, and add either turkey or veggie dogs. At any rate, this meant that I'd be eating just frites. That wasn't a bad option though. Here they are below.

They were definitely skinnier than the traditional Belgian frites that I've had, but they weren't bad. And I like the slightly smokey and spicy aioli that it was served with.
Meanwhile, Tom had two different type of sausages. I don't remember which ones, but he actually liked them quite a lot - enough to say that he'd want to go back again in the future. (and he tends to be pretty picky about his hot dogs). As for me, the setting was nice, and the owners were very friendly, but I think I'll wait to go back when they've got a turkey dog on the menu.
