If you’re a Parisian, you won’t have missed the phenomenon of Big Fernand<\/a> and his famous hamburgers in his “atelier” in the 9th<\/sup><\/strong> arrondissement.<\/p>\n

Recently, his “little brother”, Little Fernand<\/a> by name, opened its doors a few numbers away and offers hot dog specialties<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The Fernands, big and small<\/p><\/div>\n

Well, you might ask: what’s so special about a hot dog? Well, at Little Fernand, there are a number of things that add to the pleasure of eating one. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first thing to note is the super-friendly welcome<\/strong> from the team, who explain how the hot dogs are prepared, and where the products come from. Homemade bread, homemade sausages, including the poultry-calf recipe developed for Little Fernand, ideal for those who eat without pork. French cheeses and mustards, as well as vegetables, will be a delight for “Made in France” fans! <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So, inevitably, tasting a hot dog can only be a pleasure. The fresh bun is crisp, the sausage is moist and crunchy, and the side dishes bring out the flavor perfectly<\/strong>. And to make matters worse, the presentation is impeccable: your hot dog is kept in a cardboard box in the restaurant’s colors to preserve the heat. <\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The restaurant may be small, but it’s first and foremost a “good fast-fooding” place; you’ll stay for no more than 30 minutes and sit at high wooden tables<\/strong>, where your neighbor can tell you about the recipe he’s tried.<\/p>\n

Because beyond the traditional hot dog (bun, sausage from a choice of 3 types, and accompanied by one of 4 mustards or ketchup with balsamic vinegar) Little Fernand offers surprising, well-thought-out recipes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are 5 of<\/strong> them, so you can match your rather classic hot dog with cheeses like Vache Kiri, but more like Fourme d’Ambert. This is the one I tested: it’s called the “Bzzzz!” and it was a delight. It combines the saltiness of a hot dog with the sweetness of the cheese and the candied onions. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Little Fernand’s full menu: something for everyone!<\/p><\/div>\n

Little Fernand offers several formulas, including organic drinks<\/strong> (the famous ” Bionade<\/a> “, fruit lemonades that are just too sweet), accompaniments of homemade potato chips or the dreaded Coleslaw<\/strong>, for that US touch. There are also desserts, but I didn’t fancy the brownie, and that’s clearly not why we go there. <\/p>\n

In short, it’s good, original, fresh, friendly, central and decent; with the “entry-level” hot dog at \u20ac7<\/strong>, which is rather generous, it’s worth the detour.<\/p>\n

Drop in for lunch or dinner, Monday to Saturday<\/strong>, and follow their news on their Fan page: https: \/\/www.facebook.com\/LittleFernand<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I promise Little Fernand, like his elder brother before him, a bright culinary future<\/strong>. See you soon at 45 rue du Faubourg Poissonni\u00e8re! <\/p>\n
