Still More Hot Dogs: This Time, Tucson’s Finest Tube Steaks!

The Arizona Daily Star runs down the top hot dogs in Tucson.  Among the lineup are the Sonoron dogs from BK Carne Asada & Hot Dogs that ayersian raved about in their Roadfood.com review (pictured above are bacon-wrapped dogs ready to be inserted into buns, from ayersian’s review).  What goes on the bacon-wrapped dog? Onions, beans, mustard, mayo, and diced tomatoes; hot pepper on the side!  ayersian says these Sonoron dogs are “one heart-stopping culinary experience that will leave you wanting more.”  Also recommended is Pat’s Drive-In, about which the Daily Star proclaims: “Pat's Drive-in is a West Side landmark known for one thing: chili dogs.”  Michael Stern asserts, in his Roadfood.com review of Pat’s, that “one of our favorite hobbies is eating chili dogs. There are few places we like practicing this hobby more than the vintage Tucson drive-in known as Pat’s.”

Also on the Daily Star list: Costco (“They are big enough to share, but why would you?”), Hot Dog Heaven (“juicy, tender, meaty and succulent”), J Dawg at J Bar (“Sonoran hot dog topped with smoked poblano crema, pickled cactus, whole-grain mustard and chorizo black beans”), Lovin’ Spoonfuls (a veggie dog “served on an organic whole-grain bun with sauerkraut and mustard”), Luke’s Italian Beef (“Order your Chicago-style dog ‘all the way’”), Music Box Lounge (“quarter-pound Hebrew National hot dog”), Wienerschnitzel (“Sometimes you just want your dogs fast, greasy, cheap and sloppy”), and Cuvée World Bistro (“Kobe-style beef hot dog with oregano jarenara”).  See the Daily Star story for full details.
