Ate It: 'Today's Special' at Atomic Dawg

Yours Truly stopped by in Berkley for lunch Friday and tried out "Today's Special," which consisted of homemade guacamole and chipotle mayonaise on top of a chicken turkey mole sausage, all packed in a bun.

The special was served hot off the grill at my table in after a short wait and tasted like nothing I've had before (although, it might be tasty to have the bun grilled).

The gauc was piled on generously and the sausage was well-spiced. Chef Gary Brunner said he used sausage from the Corridor Sausage Co. of Detroit, which doesn't use preservatives.

I paired the "Today's Special" with a Vernor's ginger ale and slips, the restaurant's thinly sliced, light-as-air, freshly made potato crisps. They reminded me of elephant ears at the fair – if only they were smaller and saltier.

The meal was more than a mouthful – plenty for a meal – so make sure you accept the pleasant wait staff's offer of silverware if you decide to try it.
