I had no idea that Camellia Grill had a round hot dog! I found two more this summer in TX & KS and had never seen one before. Where else have you seen them?

We got to get that dog for our FoodFest in NOLA next year.

It's not really a round dog. It's a regular dog cut and arranged to fit on a hamburger bun, an approach Sue despises - she won't let me serve hot dogs on burger buns at home, even in a bun emergency. It's fine with me, though, especially as a chili dog. I recall reading about a company that actually made round, flat dogs for burger buns. I think they were called Flatdogs. Don't know if they are still made.

I went to the original location about 30 years ago. At that time they had a most unique menu item, called a Cannibal Special: a steak tartare (raw ground beef) sandwich. It was yummy -- and grossed out 2 of the 3 friends with whom I was traveling. :-)

Since none of these reviews mentioned it, I suspect it was chased off the menu by the health prudes... Too bad.
