SFWeekly review: Underdog (SFVS Discount Provider)

[Guest guest]

The Immaculate Concept

Vegan dog ($3.99)

Underdog, 1634 Irving (at 18th Ave.), 665-8881, www.myspace.com/underdogorganic

For a devout omnivore, the vegan organic hot dog at this closet-sized Sunset

shop is so close — but not close enough — to your everyday, commercially

produced frank that it teeters on the edge of repellent. There's no skin on the

plump tofu-gluten " link, " no pop when you bite through it, no juice. Yet the

flavor profile is 95 percent hot dog. That said, the vrank became 100 percent

edible when tasted as a whole sandwich: encased in a whole-wheat bun; striped

with organic Dijon mustard; smothered in Underdog's tart, crisp housemade kraut;

and spotted with its smoky dried-chile hot sauce.
