Best Hot Dogs
WIENERSCHNITZEL
Multiple locations
No kidding, we're talking about the same A-framed drive-through stands that seemed to reach their peak of popularity in the 1970s. However, the venerable old dog shop is making a comeback with fast service and, yes, a creative menu. The resurgent veteran operation captured this year's award by a single vote over Costco.
Our Pick:
WIENERSCHNITZEL
Who says you can't teach an old dog a new trick? In addition to the traditional mustard dog, Wienerschnitzel has played around with fun menu items such as minicorn dogs and hot dogs served in pretzel buns.
