Tony Matelli, "Double Meat Head" (Katie Sokoler/Gothamist)Sausage Inc.: At the very nexus of this season's most popular eateries—high quality, fattening, nostalgic, one-item specialty digs—is the resurrection of the hot dog as something worth wanting, eating—about which we should be discerning. Bark fed us gussied-up ball park basics in Brooklyn and now Sausage Inc. picks up in Greenwich Village with their own sizable sausages. The menu presents only five options: all sausage, all sauteed onions, and all pretzel rolls with the promise of no chemicals and no MSG. There is the Farmer Sausage (beef and bacon), the Blanco (pork and basil), the Chipolata (pork and chipotle), the Thanksgiving (turkey, stuffing, and cranberry) among others. They're served alongside self-saucing options both familiar and unconventional, including Honey Mustard, Sweet Chili Butter, Homemade Relish, Cheese Fondue and more. For around $6 per wiener sandwich, you'll lose sight of why our ancestors griped about dirty water dogs in the first place. (Elyssa Goldberg)106 University Place, (212) 484-4344
