What kind of dogs do they have?

Wife and I have stopped and had a few beers/wings their a couple of times. Food is actually pretty dang good and I really like the atmosphere but I am trashy and love dive bars.

On a side note I have been telling my wife since we moved here that a specialty hot dog joint would absolutely kill it downtown. Wish I had the capital. I love to cook and my wife's background is in restaurant management.

Big 1/4 pounders. Disclaimer: friends have had it and say it is fantastic. I just listed it because I am dying to try it.

Would be great. I bet the rent would be the killer.

That would be the problem. I like the idea of have lots of different types of handcrafted sausages and also doing all the regional types from across the US and around the world. That way there is always something new to try.

Bruiser's in Slidell on Front Street. I haven't eaten there yet but they look like they are trying to be Dat Dog.

I don't know what specifically goes into a great hotdog place but i just love this spot.

Great selection of dogs, great flavors, amazing toppings.

We have a bunch of small hot dog places here in Bham
I'm going to loop this thread back to the OP and ask for recommendations for a long-time BR resident who is now transplanted to here in the 'Ham.

I've seen the story about the Pete's proprietor who had worked the griddle so long that he was permanently hunched over -- LINK -- but as of this writing, what and where is the current reference Birmingham hot dog?

Hot dog restaurants generally fall in the category of Peanut Butter and Jelly restaurants. In other words, it's a simple comfort food that I can eat at home for way less money.

Nevertheless, I have enjoyed Dat Dog tremendously. I like the alligator sausage dog. Also, the buns (or rolls if you prefer) at Dat Dog are really great. If I could find those buns, I'd be making them at my house and never go back to a hot dog place again.
