Bubbledogs' bar snack

These crunchy bites from Bubbledogs tick all our bar snack boxes: they're spicy, crunchy and salty. Which is why, incidentally, they work so well with champagne. Star sommelier and Bubbledogs owner Sandia Chang recommends a Charles Dufor bistrotage extra brut to cut through the richness of the little morsels, which are called Horny Devils thanks to their jalapeño kick. 

You no longer have to go all the way to Bubbledogs' Fitzrovia to enjoy them, too, as the hotdog favourite will be taking to the road thanks to that addition of Johnny, a vintage 1973 Peugeot J7 painted in French's mustard yellow, which will be dishing out 'dogs and bubbles at our favourite festivals this summer.
