This is what street food should always be: Bold flavours, good products, simplicity and fastness. Bruno’s is a Stockholm landmark and should be treated like such, even though in the end it’s a food truck with a makeshift outside seating area. Your focus should be the hot dogs - there are several types of sausage to choose from, from the more spicy (and spiced) one to the more subtle. Choose your toppings - from several pickles to the all-time classic mustard -, grab a cold beer and be merry.
