Hot Diggity! opening on South Street

South Jersey native Keith Garabedian, who's cooked locally at Voorhees' Little Café and Collingswood's Tortilla Press and put in time in NYC at Tom Colicchio's craftbar, is about a month out from opening Hot Diggity!, an all-hot dog restaurant at 630 South Street. Garabedian, who's teamed up with three of his best friends from high school to launch the spot, tells Meal Ticket the menu will consist of around 10 hot dogs inspired by regional styles — think the classic Chicago Dog, dressed with pickles and celery salt on a poppy seed roll; a Seattle-style frank topped with garlic cream cheese, shredded red onion, tomato and scallion; or a "Saigon Dog," playing off the flavors of banh mi. They'll do hand-cut fries, too, with dipping sauces like roasted garlic rosemary aioli, chipotle mayo and black peppercorn ranch. Philly artist Hawk Krall, who handles the excellent "Hot Dog of the Week" column on Serious Eats, has been commissioned to design the restaurant's visually driven menu (click image to enlarge).
