Review: Wienerschnitzel - Pretzel Bun Chili Dog

I've tried Wienerschnitzel's Chili Dog before, but not on a pretzel bun so on a recent stop at a Wienerschnitzel, I tried the Pretzel Bun Chili Dog.

The Pretzel Bun Chili Dog is simple enough: a pretzel hot dog bun, a turkey hot dog, and Wienerschnitzel's trademark chili. There's an upcharge of 40 cents for the pretzel bun so that my Pretzel Bun Chili Dog cost $1.89.

I mostly liked the pretzel bun with its soft, dense texture and pretzel flavor. I thought it held up better against the salt from the hot dog and the chili than a regular hot dog bun. It was slightly stale on this occasion though.

The chili is thin with bits of ground up meat. I could taste some underlying, varied spices and nuances, but it was overwhelmed by a lot of salt. I think the chili would taste a lot better if they halved the salt content.

The hot dog itself was decent and pretty standard.

Overall, I liked Wienerschnitzel's Pretzel Bun Chili Dog better than their regular chili dog, but I'm still not a fan of the super salty chili.
