Zebra's Gourmet Hot Dogs (CLOSED)

Though it looks like a bar-slash-funeral-home from the outside, this Bridgeport storefront really is the hot-dog restaurant it claims to be. Most sandwiches start with a jumbo all-beef, griddled Nathan’s frank on a French roll, and all come with either fries or corn fritters (golf-ball-sized puffs fried to order and dusted with powdered sugar—definitely the better choice). Toppings (chili, salsa, kraut, crumbled bacon) go beyond the average but are not quite gourmet.
