Mr. Hanton's

Mr. Hanton's Handwiches was kind enough to park their food truck in a parking lot across the street from the convention center during our lunch break from the 5B Blogging Conference. Cafe de Wheels was also on hand, but I've already reviewed them, so my decision was easy. Mr. Hanton's specializes in hot dogs and handwiches, basically a sausage of your choice covered in a ton of toppings. They offer five different sausages to choose from: beef frank, chicken apple, goetta, hot mett, and Italian sausage. The menu is actually pretty large as there are over 30 toppings available. However Mr. Hanton has identified the best sellers, making it a little easier for first timers.

I went with the "not so hot chick" with a chicken apple sausage, BBQ sauce, yellow mustard, bacon and chopped onion ($5.00). Also available is the "hot chick" with habanero mustard instead of the yellow mustard. I considered ordering the hot version, but decided it wouldn't be a good way to kick off a day of drinking. I was offered a small taste of the habanero mustard and I must say that it burned my mouth for a few minutes. Though I do think it would be good on the handwich.

My handwich was piled high with plenty of toppings and was a lot more filling than I thought it would be. The combination of BBQ sauce and mustard is really good and not something that I ever would have imagined to put together. The chicken sausage had a nice mild sweetness to it as well as a little savory spice flavor. I would definitely order the "not so hot chick" again, but with so many other choices on the menu would probably end up with something different next time. I hope to run into Mr. Hanton's food truck sometime again in the future. They will also be opening a permanent location in the new U Square at the Loop near the University of Cincinnati in either late spring or early summer.

Move over pizza window, there's a new drunk food in town and it's called Mr. Hanton's!

How I have never been here is beyond me. Probably because it is a food cart/truck and when I am in Mt. Adams I am usually inside or out on a patio somewhere. Mr. Hanton's is not your average hot dog. This place is unique in the fact that their toppings are more gourmet. You can get anything added to your dog, jalapenos, chili, chips, grilled onions and peppers, cheese. Literally any topping you could think of.

Another plus is they have a variety of options as far as the "dog" itself. You can get a mett, goetta, chicken, beef, you name it they've probably got it. I went for the spicy mett and it was killer! My boyfriend had the "everything dog" and it was insane delish!! Had all the fixin's and it actually tasted more like a cheese coney on steroids. If you can even imagine!

The owner himself was working the the truck and he was very friendly and had great suggestions! Gotta hand it to the guy, you have to have some serious patience and a good heart to deal with all the stumbling drunks around this bar scene and he handled it like a champ! Their prices are not bad either.

This place is anything but ordinary. Great flavorful and creative dogs at an affordable price!

The best. That is all. Carry on.
