A new chain, unsurprisingly specialising in hotdogs, whose first branch has recently (18 February 2008) opened in the heart of Soho, alongside all the other lunchtime quick-eating high concepts. Some googling on the interwebs suggests it's a venture from the same people who brought us The Real Greek and Livebait chains.
The website has their menu, which has some interesting ideas like the Full English hotdog and the Northener. I obviously went for the vegetarian (Italian mushroom) sausage, which was very tasty with some nice salsa, though not overly filling. They offer an option of breads (white, wholemeal, onion), or no bread (the sausage can be added to a salad). You can also create your own combination of sausage and toppings, if you prefer.
Prices are a bit steep (£4.50 for the vegetarian, but there are cheaper options), but perhaps not so much for the area.
