Could possibly the best hotdog in AZ come from Chicago? Naw. New York? Nope. Mexico? Close El Guero Canelo. Cali? Haha you wish Pinks. The BEST hot dog in AZ comes from Colombia. The country. Simon's Hot Dogs has the most awesome dog in the valley. You read it here first. How good is it? Well, when he used to be in Sedona. We would ALWAYS make a stop. I mean a mandatory stop, like rain, snow, or shine.. Now that he is the valley? Shoot... you guys have no excuse.
Service: We were greeted in a warm and friendly manner. They are a small family run joint and they are very hospitable. We've eaten at Simons before and always have been treated warmly and like a regular (which we kinda were back when they were in Sedona).
Food: Ive eaten alot of hot dogs. This place might be the BEST place in AZ. It's different from other hot dogs you have tried. Potato chips, pineapple on a hot dog? yup. Thats that Columbia style. The pink Sauce is super yummy. He also has other yummy dogs (we like the Tokyo dog). Did I mention his dogs can be vegetarian and I believe are gluten free (you hipsters rejoice!).
Atmosphere:
Small family spot. Local stuff on the walls. nothing too fancy.
I dont know why or how this combination of ingredients work together like some operatic symphony. Perhaps Simon stole this recipe from the Ancient Greek Titans and passed down to humanity ala Prometheus stealing fire (okay, maybe not stole. But goodness gracious. will you go get one already??) All I know this is ONE UNIQUE AWESOME HOT DOG.
