Hot Diggity! expanding

South Street's quirky hot dog shop, Hot Diggity! (630 South St.), has been open for just a few months, but co-owner Keith Garabedian isn't letting that stop him and his partners from expanding their nascent operation. Next week, we'll level our Official City Paper Review®, but couldn't wait till then to share this rad bit of news: Artist Hawk Krall, who writes about hot dogs for Serious Eats and did Hot Diggity's awesome illustrated menu (above), is getting his own gallery in the space next door.

"Originally we were going to create a small gallery space for Hawk within Hot Diggity," says Garabedian. "When the space next door became available, we thought, 'Wow, now we can do a whole lot more.'" A whole lot more includes a studio space for Krall and a retail area for him to sell his original prints, T-shirts and other work. "People will actually get to watch him work." (Just watch your chili dog around the merch.) Pending approval from the landlord, Garabedian says the project is two to three weeks out.
