Steps to eating a Vegan Dog in Orlando

Step one: Make your way downtown. If you were to find yourself standing between I-Bar and BBQ Bar and happened to look across the street.  You would find, tucked between two buildings, a hot dog stand.  Asking the crowds pulling away from the stand, we found that the vegan dog stop is an iconic Orlando staple.
Step Two: You are not about to eat a hot dog, so get the idea out of your head.  Frank orders up two Buddha dogs with all the works.  Soft bun, vegan dog, vegan chili, vegan curry sauce, and "the condiment bar is behind you," he says.  Which is where you would find the familiars; ketchup, mustard's, and whatnot.  I believe that Buddha would have opted for the sriracha, so I topped mine as such.  Ok, eating your dog, first tip...take advantage of the foil you are given (if your going for the works.) Remember, your not eating a hot dog.  The Buddha dog is all one texture, with the dog being slightly firmer then the bun, but the taste is a perfect expression on how you should end your night after a few beers from one of the bars on Orange. 
Step Three: Do as the others do.  Sit on the curb, enjoy your new found way to enlightenment, and watch the people pass.

For us, it was two bites, a recommendation to the people standing around, and we were off to our next stop.
