00:00Spin, spin, spinning the cycle, turn the trolley around, have to do by hand now, turn the trolley

00:11around.

00:12Look at that, it's like a turntable, it's like a giant Lazy Susan.

00:18Take me out for some hot dogs.

00:25If you're going to San Francisco, make sure you do at least one raw dog.

00:38Yes!

00:39The historic ferry building, you know, at one time there were no bridges here, so they

00:44had to have everyone that lived outside San Francisco came in through the ferry building

00:48over here.

00:49Well, they have a marketplace, and among the places they have here is called Gots Roadside.

00:55It's a hot dog place, I think it's been here for over 30 years, dating back to when the

01:02Giants in the 80s played in the 89 World Series.

01:04Well, I'm here to give their hot dog a try, so let's go raw dogging, San Francisco style.

01:19Gots has only been around since 1999, I thought they were a little older than that.

01:43They have like an older feel to it.

01:45Now, they have several locations in the Bay Area.

01:48Their initial, original location was an old roadside stand they took over in 1999.

01:55And well, they have the grilled hot dogs, and it's got good coloring.

01:59They use a New England style bun, interestingly enough.

02:02Well, we're going to give this a try and see how these hot dogs actually taste.

02:09Good snap!

02:16Good taste!

02:20And it's a 412 foot triple in the Triples Alley at Oracle Park.

02:29I mean, it's got the taste you want, it's got the snap you want.

02:36Bun to dog ratio is pretty good.

02:40This is an excellent hot dog.

02:46This monstrosity chili dog.

02:50Alright, this chili dog is loaded.

02:53You know, let me tell you something.

02:57When it comes to chili dogs, less is more.

03:01You won't want to bury the damn dog.

03:03They buried this dog, and there's beans in the chili.

03:05That's not good.

03:07It's a homemade chili that tastes funky.

03:25No. No, no, no, no.

03:28Fail.

03:31Strike out.

03:34Alright, Gots has been in the Bay Area for 25 years.

03:39They have like six locations, and especially this one at the ferry terminal here, the ferry place.

03:46And you know, you got the earthquake tower over here.

03:50Very picturesque.

03:52We're right by Oracle Park.

03:55It's a good spot. It's a good spot.

03:57Just don't order the chili dog.

03:59But, if you want to know where I should go next, let me know.

04:03Send a message, email me, whatever.

04:06Because you never know where I'm going to show up.

04:08So, see you down the road, and keep raw dogging.

04:13Take me out for some hot dogs.

04:17Get me one that's only plain.

04:20No mustard or horseradish ketchup.

04:23I'll know what the dog is really about.

04:27And it's hope that this is a good one.

04:31Maybe a horn or a double.

04:33But if it sucks, it will be a strike out.

04:36And I'm worried of my taste buds.

04:42Alright.

04:44Gots?

04:46What's the history?

04:48Let me get this.

04:56That's brutal, Frank.

05:01That's brutal.

05:03That's brutal.

05:05That's brutal.

05:07That's brutal.

05:09That's brutal.

05:11That's brutal.

05:13That's brutal.

05:15That's brutal.

05:17That's brutal.

05:19That's brutal.

05:21That's brutal.

05:23That's brutal.

05:25That's brutal.

05:27That's brutal.
