Road Trip to the Skip

Since Kevin and I don’t know where we’re going in the Triad, we’ve decided to make our way through “the best” stuff, according to the News-Record and YES weekly.  And hopefully find other groovy gems along the way.

This Saturday, we were celebrating Kevin’s official job offer from Polo (and impending discount which will probably lead to a decreasing bank account) so we checked out Skippy’s in downtown Winston Salem for their legendary hot dogs.  My husband is a man of simple food needs.  Sandwiches, hot dogs, and tacos.  These things make him happy.

The dogs were solid.  Let me share most magical thing about Skippy’s — the pretzel roll.  It provides the perfect buttery and slightly sweet complement to the dog.  Expectations met, we were delighted and pleased.  We even returned for extra pretzels for the ride home, but they were sold out!  Until next time, delish pretzel heaven …

Note: We learned that Skippy was actually a chubby three-legged dog who is no longer with us.  I can relate because I used to have a hamster named Scoopy, also no longer with us.
