I know yer a NYC kinda dog lover, but the Chi dogs at Thunderbird and Scottsdale in the strip mall are pretty good.

Also, have you checked out Chowhound.com? There is a mighty thread there with not much info, other than a sausage link.

I say, buy 'em and grill em.
Sausage link? Haha! Now THAT's funny!

To the OP: I haven't really found any places worth comparing it to the original. Chinese in Arizona is horrible, Mexican is branded out, and Japanese is hipster central, all about image and not food.

I will go far to say PF Chang sucks in Phoenix compared to Sacramento. Always dirty, food tastes wrong, and never good service.
From someone that thinks PF Changs "sucks" in Phx compared to Sac...guess food is different to you than to me.

Try a local joint. Just a hint.

I was so severly dissapointed when i got my food!!!!
A boiled hot-dog with taco meat on top, and microwaved hotdog bun that was hard.
Heeeeey, are you talking bad about the "dog" being boiled or the fact that it had some taco meat on it? Im from NYC myself and all the street vendors boil em....and I love em!!!! I also know you can have em the Coney Island style which is good too....but just dont put down the boil way

Okay, now I'm hungry and it's only 9 a.m.

What I want is a cart dog from NYC with red onions and a soft roll and to look at Central Park.

Ooops. Just woke up. I don't eat red meat. Must have been dreaming.

I'd kill for a good turkey dog right about now. I know Ted's doesn't have one. Wienersnitzle (sp) in the west valley has. It wasn't horrid.

Help me, pls.

The best chili dog from the 40's and 50's was a place called The Sandwich Shop near the Strand Theater on Washington Street. Most people called the place Coney Island. They had chili dogs and chile hamburgers. It was run by a motherly type Greek woman. Her secret was that she had a steamer and put the buns in there first; why restaurants cannot do this today is a mystery, probably too much work?

I remember a place in the late 60s Bay Area (Redwood City) that steamed their buns and I thought it was the best ever....big doughy white bun, warm and steamed so there was some moisture visible on the bun, surrounding a sloppy joe mix....wow....

anything like this in Phx at all????

Well you have a "Hot Dog" then you have a "Coney Dog". I know they are same except one has chili, and onions, but to me they are completely two different things. There are times when I've wanted a coney dog and a hot dog simply wouldn't do, and there are times when i've wanted a hot dog, and wouldn't dare eat a coney in its substitute.
I'm not knocking boiled hot-dogs, but it's NOT the way you make a coney dog.
Coneys are usually dogs with casing on them grilled.


HMMMMMMMM

There was an excellent hotdog shack in Long Beach, CA, named Poochy's back in the '60's. Baja Arizona (Tucson) also has a few Weinerschnitzels left here and there. Their hotdogs are tolerable at worst, and will NOT kill you.
