Detitillating nakedness and enrobing food

[Charles Doyle]

The venerable Varsity restaurants, vending in the vicinities of Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia since 1928, are famous (among other reasons) for the specialized lingo of the counter employees, who translate the customers' orders and shout them to the cooks. One staple for many decades has been the "naked dog" (or "nekkid dawg," if you prefer), a hotdog prepared without mustard or mayonnaise or catsup or relish or topping--no "dressing" at all.
