Double Chicken Please [Official]
If a year of disguised cake videos has taught us is anything, it’s that America’s trust in desserts has been eroded. Now one of New York’s most iconic dishes has its own cake hack moment with a new menu item at Lower East Side cocktail bar Double Chicken Please, which looks like a hot dog but is far from it.
Earlier this week, bar owner GN Chan set up a street cart in front of the bar called “Ice Ice Weenies,” where he’s selling hot cocktails and hot dog-shaped ice creams. The deceptive dessert is the work of Double Chicken Please chef Mark Chou, who makes the frankfurters using dark chocolate and housemade vanilla bean ice cream. The $6.90 dessert can also be topped with “mustard,” made from salted duck yolks that have been blended with condensed milk, and “ketchup,” which is actually hot honey. The hot dog’s bun is deep breaths just a normal potato roll from Martin’s.
