Bacon Dogs (San Francisco, CA)
19th & MissionLate night in San Francisco’s Mission District is a swirl of bars, tacorias, and my favorite late night fare: hot dogs wrapped in bacon. Also known as a Mexican Hot Dog, these flavor packed weenies are spicy, sweet, and super savory. We met up with one of the vendors around 19th and Mission. She was a sweetheart, and even got into the production as I turned the tables, giving Andy and Florian the spotlight.
All in all, it’s a fun episode… and man… how I miss those dogs!
Question of the week!
Describe your ideal hot dog, toppings and all.

how do i make it go full screen?
Working on it!
I have been finding a common strength amongst these vendors. I noticed that the west coast street vendors are posting their menus and locations on Twitter. Using Free Media to work for them. I understand that some people are lining up to eat at these places an hour before the trucks show up. I am so excited about this movement, as a chef, I have always defined that the one thing to break my restaurant is always the service staff. This removes the need for them altogether. I love the bacon wrapped angioplasty dawg! I think if I am drunk, then bring on the grease.
On my red hot, I like a smokey sausage type, cooked over coal, wrapped in flour tortilla, caramelized onions, jalapeno jam, and don't laugh….cream cheese smear.
I am kind of a purist. Raw onions, and yellow mustard. That's it. All though I have been known to make a brunch dog that is bacon-wrapped, and sitting in the bun that has had a fried egg placed in it.
Mmmm egg on meat. Delicious!
I love a hot dog that is in a natural casing, grilled over a wood flame. top with some whole grain mustard, onions. Man I wish I could have a hot dog right now.
ps…took lots of pic/film of thailand street food. let me know the best way to get it to you and if you want raw footage or for me to mix everything.

Dude – that's intense. Is Japanese mayo just mayo with wasabi?
Sadly, it's not something we can do right now. You can subscribe to the podcast in the interim and watch it through iTunes, http://vendr.tv/itunes or watch it at http://hungrynation.com. That functionality will be coming back soon.
That's awesome! Can you post them to http://facebook.com/vendrtv Thanks so much!
You know what Christian! I've had cream cheese on a dog before and it was pretty rockin'… so, no laugh there. That sounds delicious!
I see that the idea of the cased meat has evolved all over the globe, but as a resident of Chicago….Dirty Water Dog Capital of the universe, I have to give a notable accolade to my favorite innovator of the weinner. Hot Doug's off California Ave in Chicago….very cool stuff at his little eatery. World class flavor profiles.
ah wow! is it a street cart?

Just found your site, and lucky for me, I have hot dogs in the fridge. The power of suggestion. Tomatoes are my topping of choice. They add a hint of sweet, surprisingly.
BTW, love what you're doing! If you ever eat your way to Austin, there's been a surge of foodie airstreams in the past year… everything from cupcakes to crepes! This article lists of a number of them. http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Issue/s...
That's amazing! Thanks for the tips Amy. Hopefully we'll be down there
soon.
Duh, I just realized my icon is a photo of Howard. Anyways, have you never had Japanese mayo before??!?! Japanese mayo is made from rice vinegar though the Kewpie brand has a wasabi flavor mayo.
[...] it here in Saint Louis and would serve hot dogs of all kinds (corndogs included and especially the bacon wrapped dogs that I saw on the Bacon Dogs episode from San Francisco). I would also serve funnel cake. Make it like a carnival food cart, deep fried twinkies and all [...]
LOS HOT DOG SON DELICIOSOS, LA PERSONA QUE ATIENDE ES MUY NICE, ATENTA Y SERVICIAL, VAYAN A COMPRAR SUS HOT DOG SIEMPRE LA SENORITA LUCERO.
Yea man – The guy was a bit of a jerk – But I do think he was just talking about the lack of street food in the city. But as you point out, that's really changing. The guy's just not in the know. Oh well – his loss.

Those are the best. They used to call them Danger Dogs in LA. We sell them as Devil Dogs at Mardi Gras and during certain festivals. The sweet lady in the video has them exactly right and anyone calling them pathetic does not grok street food. Danger Dogs belong in the Cartivore Hall of Fame if there were one. FWIW our version is pretty much like hers, with grilled peppers, onions, Ketchup, Mustard, Mayo, and Sriracha. So good, especially after a night out. So hot, they'll burn you twice, but worth it.
Oh my that looks so delicious. I couldn’t walk by that vendor everyday and not buy something. I have the same weakness for Krystal burgers.
[...] I’m sure its going to be awesome. Heck, maybe Midnight Poutine at Burning Man can turn into Bacon Wrapped Sausage at Open Mind. [...]
