This mythical hot dog in the Lowcountry is topped with chili, whipped cream, and sprinkles and we never sausage a thing. It’s The Unicorn from Puma’s Italian Ice Shack — and we hear it’s oddly delicious.
That’s not the only unique flavor on the menu — get sweet-and-savory dogs like The NuTezel with Nutella and crushed pretzels, the Fluff ‘n’ Butta with peanut butter and crushed Oreos, and the Funky Monkey with banana chunks and chocolate syrup.
Try one at 115 E. Richardson Ave. in Summerville. If you have a hankering for more traditional franks, check out five spots to grab hot dogs in Charleston here. 🌭
