Jenn Sit of Serious Eats' Eating Out Blog posted a very interesting article about the various regional styles of American hot dogs. This one above is the "Sonorans" from Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona:
Bacon-wrapped hot dogs are grilled, then nestled in steamed bolillo rolls and topped with pinto beans, chopped tomatoes, onions, mustard, mayo, and jalapeños. Other variations could include any of the following: shredded cheddar, queso fresco, cotija cheese, salsa verde, and guacamole.
I say anything wrapped in bacon is a plus! Is your hometown's dog listed? http://www.seriouseats.com/eating_out/2008/07/america-regional-hot-dog-styles-coneys-half-smokes-reds-whites.html - Thanks raphael!

the one above makes me hungry.
Just saw a show about this famous New Jersey place where they sell hot dogs fried.
Love hot dogs, can eat them everyday, my personal fave is Costco dog and soda for only buck fifty.

The dogs in Yuma Az are better though. You have to have lime on those
Please think of the cholesterol!
I am tempted to send Neatorama a fode of an AFL approved hotdog. It will be proof that in terms of hotdogs Yanq's do indeed live in the greatest country in the world.
Recipe somewhere?
I know I can't recreate it, but I am going to try. Your post just took me back to the old days. ;)
I wouldn't live in Miami again, honestly, but that doesn't take away the fond memories I have of the place, and the food. Now not only do I want a roach coach dog, but I'm hankering for a frita from Morro Castle on 12th Ave. in Hialeah.
