7 Awesome Ways to Trick Out Your Hot Dog

A Sonoran dog with all (and we mean ALL) the fixins.

THE SONORAN

Can't decide what you want on your hot dog? The Sonoran just may be your Holy Grail: Bacon-wrapped, and topped with tomatoes, onions, cotija, tomatillo salsa, pinto beans, ketchup and mayo.

THE CUBANO

Wrapped in ham and swiss, grilled and topped with pickles and mustard. Like a Cuban sandwich, but still a hot dog.

DANGER DOG

Named for the questionable conditions under which it's griddled, the Tijuana or "Danger Dog," wrapped in bacon and smothered in sliced onions, pickled jalapenos, ketchup and mustard may be the tastiest risk you take all day.

CONEYS

Midwestern folk love their Coneys, a perfect marriage of rich chili, mild cheese, tangy mustard and chopped onions.
