:clap:Greg Smith of original Salty Dawg, 98 BBQ, and Fun in the Bun has opened a weiner stand at the shopping center that Jambone and the Post Office is in. He's got a chili dog with sweet Cincinnati chili on a sturdy potato bun for $2.50, with chips and drinks as sides. Itys a little place with seating for about 12 and take out. Its a good dog. Very good. Priced right. I,m going again today . And the name? HOT DAWG!:funn:

I'm a hot dog snob. Will refuse most dogs around the country but when I find a good one I'm a patron for life. Any idea what kind of hot dogs he serves (the brand)? And how are they dressed?

"sweet" as in sweet in flavor, or as in wonderful? cincinnati chili is NEVER sweet, but is SWEET! :biggrin:

I'm a fan of the hot dogs popular among Birmingham's hot dog joints (usually a skinless pork weiner with onions, kraut, mustard and each retaurant's unique sauce on a bun - that's called a "regular," and if you add hot ground beef on top of all of that, it's called a "special"). That being said, I love Flip Flop's House Chili Dog and now I want to try this Hot Dawgs place with the Cincy chili next time I'm in town.

If you're ever passing through the Birmingham area at lunch time and see a Sneaky Pete's or Gus's Hot Dogs, you can try a franchised variety of what I decribed above, just don't order it with "mustard and ketchup" because then it's just a regular hot dog and you can stop at a convenience store or truck stop for that.

Definitely the best; I've been going there my entire life. My family has been going there for 4 generations. 2 Specials all the way and a root beer...

Went to Hot Dawg's today for lunch. The door was locked. The man standing outside said it has not been open for a few days. Really wierd. Looked inside and on the table was a pair of sunglasses and a pack of smokes. Why would one forget their sunglasses and cig's?

Does anyone know anything?

I went to Hot Dawg's on HWY 98, SRB today and OMG. What an amazing hot dog. Perfect dog chili, steamed bun, and great hot dog. I can't wait to go back and have another one. The owner is so very nice. But his dog is the real reason to frequent this small establishment. And yes, as noted in posts above, the price is right. I am thinking about asking him for chili only and getting 2 bags of frito's, brings me back to my childhood.

Can't wait to try it. Been looking for a really good hot dog. Looking for something like Tom's in PC.

I finally stopped by and and had the "Hot Dawg" it was great. The chili was fantastic. In my opinion, it is the best in the panhanddle!

He was still open a couple of weeks ago. Had a dog there a couple of months ago and still very good. Hot Dawg's is open Monday through Friday for lunch only. No other one like it on the beach and the price is wonderful.

We'll have to check it out. Does it have Chicago-style toppings? Polish sausage? Italian sausage?

Sometimes when we're leaving the beach, we'll stop at H&M Hot Dog in DeFuniak. We keep the menu in our glove compartments, and call ahead so we don't have to wait. Yum! BTW they are closed on Sunday.
