I am pleased to note that Bravo Nights in Dispatch at Key West PD is fully staffed at last. Fred finished his training after ten long months and is a fully qualified telecommunicator on all three positions. He joins Nick and myself to round out the manly men shift in dispatch. To celebrate we ordered dinner to go.
And what you see here is the man himself unloading the swag from the Four Buoys which is a relatively new place on Southard Street just off Duval. http://fourbuoys.com/ Hot sauce is optional and hot.
"The Fred" is actually named for Fred himself who dreamed up a new way to eat a hot dog. Fred grew up in Key west and went to Hollywood after college to get some work experience in the film industry. He has some great stories TOO about working on Dexter, the TV show. But his greatest contribution to Key West culture came from his observation of Los Angeles nightlife. It seems that coming out of the bars in the city he noticed Mexicans grilling hot dogs wrapped in bacon. It was an aha! moment that he brought home to his friend's hot dog shop.
First you wrap it in bacon, then you put it in a Cuban bread bun and then you cover the whole thing in mac and cheese, as one does. And then, if you're Nick, a man of modest appetites you look down at your Fred and mutter "this is a heart attack on a plate!" and dig in.
We are the manly men of dispatch because there was not a crumb left over five minutes after we dug in. Proper fortification for a night of phone answering.
