Help crown the best Sonoran dog in town this Saturday at the Sonoran Dog Showdown ðŸŒ
Quick, think of a quintessential Tucson meal.
Some may think of a gooey cheese crisp that provides the perfect stringy cheese pull, or of a sweet, icy strawberry Eegee that cools you down on a hot summer’s day.
For most, though, they think of a hot dog.
More specifically, a grilled hot dog wrapped in a thick piece of crispy bacon and lying in a fluffy, buttery bun, topped with chopped tomatoes, onions, pinto beans and finished with a drizzle of mustard and mayonnaise.
The Sonoran dog is a Tucson staple, with hundreds of carts spanning across the county dedicated to serving up the sought-after dish.
What better way to celebrate the beloved dogs than with an ultimate Sonoran Dog Showdown, highlighting the best the westside has to offer.
From 6-10 p.m. on May 2, you can head to the MSA Annex’s Festival Grounds, at 267 S. Avenida del Convento, and channel your inner Gordan Ramsey. A $20 ticket includes bites from the six contestants and one vote for your favorite chef.
The $30 ticket includes the bites, a vote and two pints of ice-cold Mexican lager. Children 12-years-old and under can come in for free.
