The idea of anything beyond a hot dog in a hot dog bun makes me want to hurl. At least they've got otter pops.

I have a fantasy that fruits and vegetables will one day be marketed with clever packaging, cartoon characters and zany commercials. Perhaps then we can get people to start being orgasmic about healthy food.

Hey chefs & foodies...making something delicious with lots of cream and butter and oil and starch and cheese is easy. Let me see you create a dish that is orgasmic and only 500 calories.

That would take skillz.

Ballard: Come for the drinks, stay for the snacks.

@4 I love nectarines. Maybe I'll write nectarines on the wish list! Fruit is absolutely a snack, and having bananas to go with the milk and cereal they sell would be smart. They're open to all suggestions, let them hear you!

How is this any different than a convenience store? Fail.

Ice cream on a bun is really popular in many asian countries.

*Snack* is quite possibly the worst word in the English language.

@9 Because the Stranger, in its wisdom, has now declared it to be a trendy hot spot. They don't do that for just any convenience store, you know.

The tweeness of a hipster 7-11 makes my teeth ache.

Peanut butter and soft serve sounds delicious.

@12 I know. Don't you hate it when local papers provide info on locally-owned stores?

Oh! And props to Dante for opening the first ever convenience boutique!

@9 (and @12) Which 7-11 is carrying other locally made goods? Molly Moon's ice cream, Honey I'm Home Catering desserts, Zane & Zack's sauces... and they'll soon be stocking even more of those kinds of items along with local beers and wines. Plus, they serve Dante's hotdogs instead of some crap that's been spinning on a heater for who knows how long.

It's better than a 7-11, my friends.

Wrong, Mr. Bomb. Snack is wack.

@ STJA: Unless I'm mistaken, lobster rolls are served in hot dog buns, and they are delicious.

How come Otter Pops make you cough? It happens every time, with every flavor. And not just to me. I seriously want to know why. Anyone?

Dante has been working on that place forever. I'm glad it's finally open.

If you live on or near Ballard Ave (or are just drinking there), your convenience store options are somewhat, er, inconvenient - the 7-11s on Market and on Leary Way, and that dollar store on Market which doesn't stay open that late. If you need a pack of smokes or some gum (or soft serve), this is going to be a godsend.
