About ten-minutes and half-a dozen orders later, I got my Brat and onion rings.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/hank_3271a.jpg\" title=\"Brat and O-rings\"><img vspace=\"5\" align=\"left\" src=\"http:\/\/www.studionewmedia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/hank_3271a.thumbnail.jpg\" hspace=\"5\" alt=\"Brat and O-rings\" title=\"Brat and O-rings\" \/><\/a>The Brat was served steamed on a poppy seed bun topped with Dijon mustard and sauerkraut. The flavor was very good, and the filing was firm and the casing crisp. It was a little pricy at $6.25 USD for the quantity. The onion rings were home made and very good. The seasoning was spot on \u00e2\u20ac\u201c no ketchup or other adjuncts required. Again, the price was a little steep at $3.75 USD. The food quality was very good overall, but the value a bit poor. I was filled up just about right, but felt a little ripped-off after paying over $10 USD plus tax. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d guess that part of that price goes into the overhead of the trendy rubber-stamped white paper bags and the custom offset-printed service boxes.<\/p>\n<p>Recommended with reservations \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the price is high for what you get. If around $15 USD for a dog, a side of fries or o-rings, and a specialty drink doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bother you, then definitely go for it. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go back, but not too often \u00e2\u20ac\u201c unless I suddenly come into a pile of free money or something\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n<p>Three out of four grinning monkeys, but two out of four upraised fists of anger.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After being reminded of the place that took over the old Rainbows Express location in Kakaako, We went by to Hank\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Haute Dogs for lunch.
