? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

The New York hotdog has landed in Cairo. Everyone knows that to get the authentic New York experience, you have to hit one of the many hotdog stands along the city sidewalks. Nathan’s Famous has reportedly perfected the flavor of New York City since its inception in 1916 and has brought it all the way to C-Town for its local franchise.

We’re devastated to report that the hotdogs themselves were a little underwhelming — especially because the bun is untoasted (gasp), which made the texture of the whole dish monotonous. Whether the flavor was lost in translation or the chain is still finding its stride with the available ingredients, the hallmark menu item did not live up to the hype.

The good news is that other dishes did. The truffle burger with mushroom was flavorful and messy, the way the fast food deities intended. The bun was toasted, the burgers were smashed, and the sauce was plentiful. Masochists will enjoy the Hell’s Kitchen chicken burger, drenched in a ranch-jalapeño sauce, covered with jalapeño-spiced bacon, and topped with — you guessed it — more jalapeño.

Nathan’s has found its home in Mivida’s Lake District and at Trivium Square along Road 90, and delivers to the rest of New Cairo.
