The Bon Vivant Blog

I have no idea where we read about this place. Talk about a random – but very good find.

DØP is an acronym for ‘Den Økologiske Pølsemand’ – i.e. ‘the organic sausage man’ – and while every city has its street food, and Denmark’s seems to be dyed-red hotdogs, you’ll be getting a special treat at the DØP cart. I didn’t read up on the certification of this place, but they bill themselves as being organic, and that’s good enough for me.

The sausage/bun combo is delicious. The bun is whole wheat – you can see the flax seeds in the picture above, and the hot dog (with everything) comes topped with mustard, ketchup, mayonnaise, fried onions, fresh onions, and pickles. I don’t even like pickles, but I liked these pickles. The sausage is tasty – hot dogs are usually never that tasty – but this one is indeed good. And the total effect of the whole wheat bun, organic dog, and great toppings is a street food that just works.

Finding the place is a bit tricky though. First, head to the ‘rundetaarn’ – i.e. ’round tower’ in the pedestrian mall area downtown – and on the southeast corner, you’ll find DØP – hopefully open, ready, and waiting to serve you a delicious dog.
