Harry Stormes (right) dropped us a note about he and partner Seth Russell's brand-new NoLibs cart The Dapper Dog, so Team Meal Ticket took a lunchtime field trip to check it out. Operating for about a week at the corner of Second and Poplar, the duo's serving a lineup of all-beef franks (on Sarcone's rolls) dressed with everything from asparagus, sharp provolone and parm to mac and cheese and pepperoni. Everything's $3.50 to start, and you can augment your orders with add-ons like fried eggs and chili and various sides (pico de gallo, rice and beans, etc.). Full menu here. Stormes says that Second and Poplar (across from Standard Tap and The Foodery) will be their primary base of operations; they're doing Wednesday lunch hours from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., then late-night hours (8 p.m. to 3 a.m.) Friday and Saturday. (After 2 a.m., the menu shifts a bit and Double D offers literally anything you want on bread for five bucks; people were ordering pepperoni and mac 'n' cheese sandwiches this past weekend.) They're also there Sundays from noon to 5; aside from that, Stormes and Russell are concentrating on special events and festivals. They'll be slangin' franks after Dr. Dog's Electric Factory show tomorrow night, and will feed Fishtowners at the Trenton Avenue Arts Festival on May 22.
