MPLS Dog: The New King in the North

Step aside, Jon Snow.

Sometimes ideas are too good not to share. And when it comes to food, we love to share. (Are you going to finish that? Ok, ok, never mind.)

We were recently at popular Minneapolis hot dog joint Uncle Franky’s, enjoying good weather and slamming Chicago Dogs, Coney Island Dogs and the like. In between bites, we contemplated what made those dogs representative of their namesakes. Then came the million dollar question: what kind of dog could represent Minneapolis?

We looked to our Minnesotan culinary legacy for inspiration, donned our goofy chef hats and headed for our kitchen. When the mist cleared, MPLS Dog was born.

IS THAT...HOT DISH? Oh yes it is. And it's time for its moment in the sun.

We spent an unseemly amount of time crafting this baby. We perfected the consistency of the sauce. We obsessed over that cheese. We toasted that bun. Topping the whole thing with crispy tater tots means the MPLS Dog pretty much takes care of all major Minnesotan food groups.

Here’s the thing, though. Yes, this dog screams Minnesota (in a measured, non-threatening tone.) But the reason we’re sharing it with you is because it’s a damn good dog.

Try it and see for yourself why the MPLS Dog is the new King in the North.
