HOT DIGGITY DOG
What's Cooking?
We recently heard a legend about a hot dog cart in Tucson that have people raving. So of course EATERAZ had to do some field work and find out the scoop.
As the story goes, BK’s began as a hot-dog cart making its way around Tucson, serving a chart-topping Sonoran Hot Dog. This masterpiece is wrapped in a strip of mesquite-smoked bacon and grilled over an open flame, served in a hollowed-out bun, and topped with chopped tomatoes, onions, shredded yellow cheese, ketchup, tomatillo salsa, and mayonnaise. At the apex of this are grilled green chiles.
True to its reputation, it was spectacular, but while there we stumbled on another gem, their Carne Asada! Juicy Ribeye steak strips are seasoned with fresh lime and garlic and cooked to perfection. Once you have your Carne Asada, walk it over to their condiment bar featuring some spicy guacamole, three different kinds of salsa, cucumbers, shredded cabbage and pickled red onion.
Although the hot dog cart remains, BK’s has taken root. So go pull up a picnic table and bench and enjoy the super low-priced, high quality fare.
