| - I've been to the Hawg-N-Dawg a few times now, and it's definitely a welcome addition to the neighbourhood
Check out the menu, it's worth a perusal. The dogs come in an unusually large number of dog choices and in a wide variety of topping combos. And they're actually one of the few places in AZ that build a proper gardened-up Chicago dog, poppy seed bun and all
Their BBQ is excellent. Beef brisket, pulled pork, pulled chicken . . . all are fantastic and practically gristle free. Only downside is their BBQ sauce. Way too sweet for my blood and no kick. But hey, they sell the Q by the pound. I bring it home and use my own sauce
The real surprise winner? Their chili. They call it Competition Chili, and I don't doubt it's won awards. It's a unique thick blend that I've only tasted the like of at Jackie's Hot Dogs in south Chicago. Mixture of beans, ground beef, and I'm going to assume pulled brisket. I ordered two bowls to go today, one for dinner and one for breakfast in the morning
I'm not really a "sides" person, but I've tried their hush puppies. Watch out. Interesting and cool that they added green chilies to the mix, but man were they salty as hell. I avoid salt, so maybe I'm just over sensitive to it
Overall, a nice quick little locally owned place on the butt end of the Warner/Elliot loop to grab some damn good grub
