goldenticket Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Haute Dogs & Fries has just opened in Alexandria at 610 Montgomery St (steps from TJ Stone's). I haven't been to this location, or the original in Purcellville, but it looks like they will be a nice addition to the north end of Old Town.

chaofun Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have been to the Purcellvillle outpost several times and it is solid for dogs. They use new england style rolls toasted which is great, and offer good toppings. I prefer the typical toppings so the coney island with meat topping and mustard are my favorite. I would put it ahead of Leesburg's Windy City Red hots. Both are good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked their website, and they feature locally made sausages from Lothar's. Almost surely, that's what I'll be trying on my first visit here. Does it really matter if a sausage is made in Loudoun County or a processing plant somewhere in Wisconsin? Beats me. I guess it depends on the method of manufacture and whether or not the meat has ever been frozen. I would put it ahead of Leesburg's Windy City Red hots. Both are good though. [i just put them in the Multiple Locations guide, and was wondering whether or not to initiailize them ahead of, or behind, Windy City Red Hots. I'd originally put them behind, but flipped them around based on your comment. (Don't think for a moment that everyone's posts here don't have an impact on the Dining Guides; they absolutely do.)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost surely, that's what I'll be trying on my first visit here. Side note: Lothar is a pretty well liked in Purcellville, many local restaurants use his sausage. He definitely knows his stuff and and if you were to pick up sausage from him at the farmers market stick to the german style stuff, like his excellent Bratwurst. It's legit. The other place Haute Dogs get local sausage is Fields of Athenry, which is a fabulous farm to get meat from. Can't say anything about their sausage because I haven't had it but they are one of the places I trust for quality beef and pork.

In general much of what Windy City does is out of cans. This is fine for the product they produce, and honestly for a chicago dog, its darn good. Haute Dogs on the other hand does a lot of stuff in house and you can tell when you are eating it. Plus with the use of local sausage makers and farms (that are quite good), that gives them the edge, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Haute Dogs location in Purcellville closed several months ago. Too bad, it was their original and very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad, it was their original and very good. This is too bad, but from their viewpoint, they may have "moved up in the world" by trading Purcellville for Old Town. They also have a location in Nationals Park, open two hours before every home game. Haute Dogs & Fries still appears to be using Lothar's sausages.

JBag57 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Not sure they are at Nats Park any longer, or maybe they moved from their original location, or I am going senile. I think they were a one-and-done (season) at the park. I once got something like a banh mi dog, and although the bun and toppings were excellent, the dog itself was rubbery. Possibly due to constraints of cooking at a concession stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the same price as the nasty NatsDogs, but I found them much better. They were usually hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
