sonora dog

 

  The lunch spot recommended today was BK's known for the Sonoran hot dog, featured on Food Wars.  The hot dog is grilled on the stainless steel grill located in the corner of the shaded dining area.  The dogs are wrapped in a layer of bacon that tends to melt off during cooking to leave behind only a slight smoky flavor. Sonoran hot dogs are also differentiated by their bread—dense bakery-style rolls slit down the length of the bun to form a pocket of sorts. The chunky toppings that threaten to spill from the bun are chopped tomatoes, pinto beans, onions, cheese, and hot peppers. Top all of that off with a few squirts of condiments designed to replicate the Mexican flag (ketchup, mayonnaise, and either tomatillo or jalapeño salsa).  I ate the whole thing.
