"The best hot dog I ever ate"
Where gourmands come to meet/eat.
Rating:
+5
As a child and through out my teens my family would travel to Guadalajara Mexico for Summer and Christmas. Walking down the streets as a tourist of downtown Guadalajara I would see push cart street vendor foods that Zagat ratings aren't applied. Personally, if you ask me I would rather go try a Zagat rated C than anything else. Perfectly presented and perfectly clean food doesn't peak my interest.
I would watch these push carts that would be steaming with sizzling hot dogs on them but these hot dogs weren't the Americanized versions. These hot dogs were wrapped with Bacon. Something I had never seen in America and only in Mexico. As I bite and chew on it I can only say that the pleasure and sensation my tastebuds were experiencing would never be matched across the border.
Now, to mankinds delight these hot dogs are now available in the states and these Mexican style hot dogs are available everywhere in L.A. because that's how Mexican's love them.
Do yourself a favor and eat one...you won't regret it.

There's nothing quite like a heart attack in a bun. Especially when there are jalapenos on top.

If by danger, you mean awesome, then yes. Nothing like a bacon wrapped hot dog. Dangerously awesome. Zing!

About this food
Danger dog is the slang term for a type of hot dog first sold by street vendors in Tijuana, Mexico and is also known as a "Tijuana bacon dog" or a "dog dog." A danger dog is a hot dog wrapped in a piece of bacon, fried in oil and served on a bun with grilled onions and chili sauce.
The term "danger dog" originates from this form of hot dog's reputation as being of cheap quality (or presumed low quality, as it is usually sold by unlicensed street vendors). The danger dog has recently turned up north of the border and is now being sold by Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York City street vendors.
On the east coast of the United States, a variation has appeared with the bacon-wrapped hot dog being deep-fried and called a "Jersey breakfast dog". There is a tradition in New Jersey of serving hot dogs that have been deep-fried in boiling oil until they rip apart ("rippers") or just blister lightly (an "in and outer"). The Jersey dog is usually served atop fried or scrambled eggs.

Thanks for sharing this awesome review in my Gourmand community! I don't know if you saw my community description, but it says, "This is a community for people who know what good food tastes like, but aren't above eating a hot dog or burger. ...Especially if that hot dog is wrapped in smoked, artisan bacon and that burger is made of kobe beef ;D", so this review fits perfectly! ;)
