Doc's Hot Links - Gilmer

I was born, raised, and still live here in "Tatertown".

We drove from Dallas to Ore City for a reunion and there was no way we could pass through without stopping for links.

This dingy looking building has been here for what seems like foreverThank goodness. I've been a semi-regular for about 20 years or so.

I giggled some of the reviews. You're fat! Hello, you're in the south, sweetie! If you're looking for the Yankee-fied version of hot links, this is not! I grew up on Doc's. I'll say it's changed since they changed owners. The Henderson family bought the place in 1969 and sold it about a year ago. They still taste just as good, but it's either that I'm getting old (he or a slight change in preparation, but they're a bit too fat for me today, so I buy them raw and bring them home, bake or grill them. My sons are now 3. (maybe 4.) creating Doc's fans. They're just cashless, and I heard that the sauce is the best, but I prefer mine with ketchup and salins. The seats are a U-shaped Formica table, and you just stand above the bench and sit a spell and enjoy the scholarship atmosphere while you lie down. There is no online order, no delivery (except you're friends with a local who will bring you some! but they are well worth the ride from...well, everywhere!

Pittsburg (East TX, NOT PA) style hot links. You're perfect! If you don't know what a hot link is, don't ask. Just enjoy it! You have 2 choices: either bite the end and fill it with hot sauce, or eat it with a saltin. Either way, you can't go wrong.
