Hot Sausage (aka Hot Dog, or Frankfurters), the new street food, was introduced in Season 7, an import from Coney Island, a resort and amusement park in the Brooklyn borough of New York City on the southern shore of Long Island.
George Crabtree introduces Dr. Grace to the latest culinary delights early in their relationship, more often 'street food' (early fast-food) for the working classes.
Appearances and Mentions[]
Journey to the Centre of Toronto[]
- George asks Emily to join him for lunch, "There's a man here from Coney Island selling 'hotdogs'. Apparently they were a big thing at the Buffalo World's Fair." But she already ate lunch, sandwiches were served at the lecture she attended with Dr. Ogden . The speaker was an ardent believer in the most unusual theory about people living inside the hollows of the earth. "Gravity alone would preclude the idea that the world could be hollow." In the end scene, they enjoy the hot dogs and George glimpses a possible mole person.
From Buffalo With Love[]
- After their first night together, consumating their relationship George tells Nina "...it was beyond... I mean... what I mean is we hardly know each other, and... Well, I just wanted you to know I am an honourable man." But Nina informs him, "I don't want to marry you, George!" The conversation takes place as they walk by the Hot Sausage stand. "I'm not that kind of woman...the marrying kind."
Concocting A Killer[]
Excitable Chap[]
- The Sausage King is murdered and his stand destroyed on Parliament Street. Pendrick's assistant Ashmi saw the murdered Sausage King, Gerard Waldkirch, only the day before in Pendrick's laboratory. Pendrick hates being interrupted by time-wasting meals and the Sausage King delivers them directly to the lab. While a popular chap, the Sausage King did mention that someone had recently damaged his cart and that a man was "out to get him," according to Ashmi. In the end it was just a restaurant man in a spat with a sausage vendor–
The Talking Dead[]
- The Hot Dog becomes a murder weapon when poison is added to it in an attempt to kill Detective Watts.
Crabtree à la Carte[]
- Watts is in the middle of eating a Hot Sausage when Louise Cherry approaches him with a tip "on the subject of processed meat." He glances down at his hot sausage worriedly.
- Back at the station house, when Ms. Cherry reveals that their case of poisoning may relate to tainted meat, Watts throws his half-eaten Hot Sausage into the wastebin.
Drowning in Money[]
- George is seen buying a Hot Sausage before he is interrupted by Effie giving him a list of the damages that her client is suing his auto-repair shop for. He holds the hot sausage while they debate, and at the end of the scene, after refusing to pay her client, stuffs it into his mouth angrily.
Parker in the Rye[]
- George takes Jacob Quincannon, a witness suffering from traumatic amnesia, to a "dog cart" for lunch. After discovering he's never had a Hot Dog before, George advises him to "make sure that your sausage is completely covered. If any bit is left exposed, it can throw off the taste of the whole thing." Unfortunately, however, Jacob is never able to try his sausage-- their outing is quickly interrupted by the appearance of armed men suspected to be involved in his family's murder.
The Future is Unwritten[]
Rough and Tumble[]
- While trying to get into Effie's office, George runs into her secretary, Dorothy, who is getting a Hot Sausage from a nearby stand for lunch. She holds her hot sausage during the ensuing argument.
