Hot dogs are one of those nostalgic foods that just bring you back to a simpler time. Maybe it’s a baseball game you went to as a kid, maybe it’s a summer cookout with family, or maybe it’s a late night in the quarter when you find yourself in line at a Lucky Dog. This particular restaurant has some of the most creative hot dogs you’ve ever tried, and you’re going to fall in love after first bite. Let’s check it out.

Dat Dog has been around since 2011, feeding tasty dogs to locals and tourists looking to expand their hot dog palate.
