Every place has its signature food stuff: Chicago Hot Dog and Deep Dish Pizza; NYC Deli Sandwiches and Neapolitan Pizzas; Minnesota - anything served on a stick and the Bloody Mary Wars (they just can't put enough stuff into a Bloody Mary, for example: shrimp, Polish Sausage link, celery, hard boiled egg, carrot stick, beef jerky - all at once mind you, with a beer chaser to boot! I should do a blog just on Minnesota); Southern Fried Chicken, Texas BBQ, and so on. Well, I was in Tucson recently and had a great stay at the Las Brisas near the airport. The Hotel food was just fine, but I asked the Reservation Desk about escabeche and such, and was advised that the Sonoran Hot Dog was exceptionally unique. Well, let us proceed forthwith!Let me explain this tasty roadside treat (and anyone from Chicago, please take note, as if you can't get enough fat charged goodness!).
The hot dog is wrapped in bacon (yes, the addition of bacon improves anything) and grilled. It is then nestled into a soft torta-bread like bun, and the following items are applied: beans, tomato, onion, mustard, mayo, salsa verde, and occasionally avocado and/or guacamole. It is absolutely fabulous and I could eat them all day long
So, grab onto a cactus, add an ice cold Dos Equis, and pop a couple of these little darlins' into your mouth ~ napkins are optional!
