<p>At first I was ashamed having ordered such an American lunch. But then I tried it. This hotdog was wonderful. A good sausage with a snap put in a baguette with chèvre cheese mayonnaise mustard and horseradish. It was far from traditional and so much better for it. I think I am forever done with overbearing ketchup. #paris #foodporn</p>
