Garmin Edge 800 Best Sonoran Very hot Pet dogs in Tucson, Arizona
So What's a Sonoran Dog?
A Sonoran Dog can be a bacon-wrapped incredibly hot pet which is grilled, set within a traditional Mexican roll (with each finishes shut) Garmin Edge 800 travelgpshq and layered with pinto beans, diced tomatoes, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, jalapeño sauce, and onions. Some are served with cheese.
Tourists arrive at Tucson every year to enjoy the uniqueness of your Wild, Wild West. Right after determining exactly where to stay in Tucson, the next dilemma is, exactly where am i able to get a very good Sonoran Dog? Whilst you'll find them nearly anyplace - which includes from street sellers - some places make them a lot better Garmin Edge 800 than many others.
Price: Cheap. Anywhere from $1 to $3 and change is regular. Both equally El Guero Canelo and BK Carne Asada & Warm Pet dogs run specials on their Sonoran Pet dogs from time to time.

Is the Sonoran Dog Tucson's Claim to Fame?
Quite possibly. Aside from the cult-classic cowboy movie, Tombstone, the Sonoran Dog has gotten Tucson and surrounding areas more screen time than just about anything.
The Sonoran Dog has already been featured on two television series:
- Man vs. Food (featuring El Guero Canelo) (see video above)
- Food Wars (BK Carne Asada & Warm Pet dogs vs El Guero Canelo) (see video below)
Who Makes the Most effective Sonoran Dog?
BK's got a slightly less authentic feel to it's restaurants (they look very much like fast food joints); however, it should be noted that despite the fact that El Guero Canelo was featured on Man vs Food and is usually the place people recommend when referring to Sonoran Pet dogs, BK's did win the Travel Channel's Food War between it and El Guero Canelo.
Both have won the Tucson Weekly's Most effective Sonoran Dog title (even though El Guero Canelo has won it in 2007, 2008, and and 2009...
YOU be the judge. Have them each. Right after all, it's JUST a incredibly hot pet. :)
Street Distributors and Sonoran Dogs
Although I have not had a Sonoran Dog from a street vendor, I should tell you that it's very common. If you are walking around El Presidio (which I highly recommend), you will discover several street sellers selling Sonoran Pet dogs.
