You know how I said I was through with the Sonoran hot dog?

Well, I thought I was, but apparently it wasn’t through with me.

After our hot dog adventures, we gave up on the local favorite. But the other night when we were cruising for late night taco stands we were tricked into stopping at yet another dog stand. This one was busy and had wonderful smell coming from it so even when we found out that they only had the local dogs, we stayed and shared one.

And you know what? It was pretty good.

The best part about the experience was the grilled pepper that always comes with the dogs. This one was wrapped in bacon and stuffed with cheese. How can you go wrong? When in doubt, add cheese and bacon and likely your foodstuff will be improved.

The dog itself was probably the best specimen yet, full of smoky flavor. But I dunno… if it weren’t for those awesome peppers I don’t think I’d come clamoring back for me.

Of course, that’s what I said the last time, too.

We’ve been eating lots of other, non-Sonoran-hot-dog foods, too, but I’m kind of overwhelmed by all the stuff I have to do before we leave — in ONE WEEK! — to sort through it all so it may have to wait until we get back to Portland. But rest assured, our bellies are full, as are our camera memory cards.
