SUPER HOTDOGS

Super Hotdogs sets up shop from 6pm to 11pm in the parking lot of Economy Tires. Oh, except Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

They also serve the best hot dogs in the world, ever, of all time. Ever.

Seriously.

They offer 2 hot dogs: the Especial and the Regular. On the Especial: "bacon-wrap, grill onion, tomatoe, mozzarella cheese, grilled mushrooms." On the Regular: "bacon wrap, grill onions, tomatoes." These hot dogs are made in the "Sonoran style," which apparently means, the way all hot dogs should be made.

After eating the hot dogs, we spent the next few hours discussing what made Super Hotdogs so incredibly super. Here's what we decided:
1) The bread. Super Hotdogs does not use traditional hot dog buns. The bread is more like deli sandwich bread. It is grilled, soft, and delicious.
2) The condiments. The owners make several sauces by hand: Pepinillo Dulce ("sweet pepper"), Pepino con Champigñon ("peppers with mushrooms," grilled), Queso Cheedar ("cheedar cheese"), Queso Cotija ("Cotija Cheese"), Jalapeños (pureed), Salsa de Cacahuate ("Peanut Salsa"), Guacamole, and Salsa de Chipotle.
3) The owners. So nice.

All ordered the Especial. Most returned and bought a second dog; Damian ordered the Regular, to see how it compared.

Susan: "It's so good my head's going to explode. I don't know what to do."

Eric: "Why aren't we eating here every night all the time, always?"

Danny: "It's like a grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and hot dog on it. It's a Jesus Dog."

Jamaal: "Wow. Wow. Wow. I have never had such a marvel in my mouth. Some say you come to Vegas for sluts and boobies, but now we know it's really for the weiners."

Damian: "This may be the best hot dog I've ever had. It's so good you don't want to dissect it too much. Seriously, it's the bun that makes it so unique."

You should eat here. Now.
