Perhaps the location itself is a jinx: replacing a short-lived flavored popcorn emporium, Top Dog seldom appears to attract lines of customers any longer than the phantom queues of its defunct predecessor. Featuring hot dogs with a variety of toppings, chili dogs, and freshly baked french fries, the hot dog king caters to a mixed crowd, according to Estelle, the owner...
