🌭"the greatest hot dog bun of them all" (KQED)
🍎"the chicken apple sausage is so rich and flavorful"
πŸͺ‘No seats, plan to eat on the sidewalk

Since 1966, this bare-bones Berkeley counter has fueled generations of Cal students with grilled sausages, from snappy all-beef franks to garlicky franks and Louisiana hot links. Pile on toppings at the self-serve condiment bar, then take your haul to the sidewalk: there are no seats, and that is entirely the point.
