text: Short Leash Dogs is obviously a front runner in the relatively small but beautifully thriving food truck scene in Phoenix Their truck had one of the longest lines today Food Truck Friday Phx Public Market and since I was not feeling adventurous enough to try Cajun I went for the dogsnnThe Igby dog I gleefully munched was spot on the acidity and fresh crunch of the coleslaw balanced well with the richness of the blue cheese and the sweet tang of the BBQ sauce It was just messy enough to be satisfying without making you look like a sloppy fool while milling around the lot And chasing it with local prickly pear soda heaven It was a satisfying meal and not too expensive for the quality deliverednnTheir menu is wellrounded always important for a food truck since the menu needs to be small With five combinations of toppings all with wildly differing flavor profiles six choices of dog plus the buildyourown option there is something for everyone Their meat dogs are from Schreiners so you are golden with any choice you make there and there is a veg option as well which I will never ever be commenting on They also have a special of the day dog which you will have to arrive early for since the devotees generally gobble them up And more power to them the special I saw on the board looked amazing and I was sorry I had missed it having arrived an hour and a half into servicennThe only reason I am daring to knock a star off this rating is that there is one tiny thing that needles me the bread they use Do not get me wrong the flatbread is delicious inventive and conducive to a nottoomessy eating experience It is a crucial part of their style of hot dog and Short Leashs followers are nuts about it Butfor me I felt that they have a slight packaged quality to them that reminds me of Trader Joes which is not a horrible by any means but it leaves me craving something more I cannot help but wish they would add just one more option of breadbun in my opinion a pretzel bun would make a killer additionnnShort Leash Dogs is a gem in the food truck scene and is absolutely not to be missed by local foodies I am looking forward to trying all of their combinations in the years to come
