There’s nothing like a good hot dog, so why not have the best hot dog?<\/p>\n
Texas may not be the hot dog capital of the U.S.\u2014that honor goes to West Virginia<\/a>, where per-capita hot dog consumption is off the charts\u2014but Texans still appreciate a well-crafted wiener. The real question is: where do you go to find the best one?<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfc6 The Takeout\u2019s Pick: Good Dog Houston<\/p>\n A national food site called The Takeout <\/a>recently released a list of \u201cThe Best Hot Dog in Every State.\u201d It\u2019s a bold claim, considering the sheer number of small-town stands and mom-and-pop joints that serve dogs worth a detour. But according to their research, Texas\u2019s top dog comes from Good Dog Houston<\/a>, a funky little spot at 903 Studewood Street in Houston\u2019s Heights neighborhood.<\/p>\n Their menu covers everything from classic chili dogs to wild creations loaded with chorizo, mac & cheese, and other indulgent toppings. And in true Texas fashion, they go the extra mile with locally baked buns, which reviewers say take the dogs from good to great. The restaurant is easy to miss\u2014tucked behind trees and a bus stop\u2014but locals know exactly where to find it.<\/p>\n Read More:\u00a0Why Amazon’s Order History Raises Privacy Concerns For Users<\/a>\u00a0| \ud83c\udf2d A Lubbock Contender: Flippers Gourmet Hot Dogs<\/p>\n Of course, anyone from the Hub City knows that a list like this might not tell the full story.
