SPLASH OF FLAVOR 2012
Texas Ranger
Hot Dog
at Spike's
Junkyard Dogs

What do you think of when you first hear “Spike’s Junkyard”? Probably not a super cool, fun-filled, five-star restaurant!
Spike’s Junkyard is a restaurant in Massachusetts and Rhode Island (with the closest store in Allston) and it is known for its irresistible hot dogs and its mouth-watering hamburgers.
When I first saw the giant menu, the first thing that hit my eye was the Texas Ranger dog. When I ordered it, the cashier was very friendly and kind.
When it was ready, it was covered with hot, melted, gooey cheese, topped off with BBQ sauce and tiny bacon bits.
This hot dog was huge! I didn’t know how I was going to finish it all, but I started eating right away.
The first bite was amazing. The cheese was hot on the outside, gooey on the inside, and it had the right yellow color. The BBQ sauce was warm and the finest it could be.
The bacon bits were the best part. They were tiny and spread everywhere, and were warm and crunchy.
