Team BK or Team El Guero. Which side are you on?
Tucson's love of Sonoran hot dogs will once again be on broadcast display.
On Tuesday night, the Travel Channel show titled "Food Wars" will try to settle once and for all which local eatery makes the best bacon-wrapped, toppings-covered wiener.
"Food Wars," which debuted earlier this year, sends host Camille Ford across the country to find food-themed rivalries centered around an area's signature dish.
In January, the show was in town to pit El Guero Canelo against BK Carne Asada & Hot Dogs.
Previous episodes have included determining the best Philadelphia cheese-steak; the best chicken wings in Buffalo, N.Y.; the best Italian beef sandwich in Chicago; and the best fried chicken in Kansas.

"Food Wars" shot the Tucson episode in January. The Travel Channel's "Man v. Food" show also featured Sonoran hot dogs when it came to town last year to have host Adam Richman attempt - in vain - to conquer the hamburger challenge at Lindy's on Fourth.
