Drawing for Food's Hawk Krall on Serious Eats

Local illustrator Hawk Krall, our fave dude who draws food, contributed a "Hot Dog Of The Week" illo and writeup to Serious Eats. He talks up what's known colloquially as the Philly Combo, the one-of-a-kind frankfurter/fried fish cake snack native to the area:
The Philly Combo is a hot dog variation unique to the Philadelphia area. Believed to have originated at Levis Hot Dogs, which was open between 1895 and 1992 on 6th and South Streets, this kosher-inspired concoction consists of an all-beef hot dog and a potato fish cake topped with mustard and onions. Moe's Hot Dogs here in Philly still serves up this classic, and even has Levis Champ Cherry soda to wash it down.
