Hot Dogs Join the Lineup at Lil City Creamery
The latest addition to the menu at Lil City Creamery isn’t a new ice cream flavor– it’s a hot dog.
Now available alongside the sundaes and cones are Nathan’s Famous all-beef dogs, which owner Jeff Goldberg began selling at his Falls Church ice cream shop earlier this month.
The franks are available solo or as part of a combo, including one which puts a hot dog, bag of chips, chocolate chip cookie and soda together for just five bucks.
“I see this primarily as a great ‘to-go’ option for area workers, residents, visitors and commuters,” Goldberg told the News-Press in an email. “Grabbing a quick bag lunch, that’s good, and with dessert for $5? Seems like a no brainer.”
While the condiments are limited as of now (there’s relish, ketchup and a few mustards), Goldberg says he’s working on a chili dog recipe and may offer a salsa dog and a specialty sandwich option in the next couple of weeks.
Lil City Creamery’s hot dogs are available daily (closed Monday) from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
