Dogmatic

It's a niche business, treated with a certain reverence.

Dogmatic made its name with a West Village street cart (shown at bottom, parked out front on the restaurant's opening day) and a distinctive presentation for all-natural sausages. Each baguette-like "bun" is open only at one end, where it's first toasted from the inside on a vertical heated spike, then fitted with one of five sausages (or asparagus, the vegetarian option) and any of a half-dozen sauces. Below, that's lamb sausage with mint yogurt ($4.50); the rustic twang of the meat could have stood a hint more mint. But hand it to that end-loaded bun: It kept the lamb sausage warm and the mint yogurt under control, mostly.

Excellent. I've been looking for buns like this in the US. There's a stand in Moscow that serves it's sausages this way and I always thought it was really clever.
