"This Atlanta-based hot dog franchise is opening a Halcyon food-hall location in Alpharetta next spring beside Holmes Slice, with the new spot owned by Izzy and Charity Ramos, who recently opened an outpost at Marietta Square Market in September. The menu touts up to 18 varieties of hot dogs, including specific offerings like the Jamaican jerk chicken with grilled pineapples and island sauce, the taco dog with chili, cheese, and guacamole, a Chicago-style hot dog, and the Memphis dog with barbecue sauce, mustard, and shredded cheese; salads, wings, and burgers are also available, and desserts include funnel cake sticks, deep-fried Twinkies, and deep-fried Oreos. Founded in 2010 by Dennis McKinley—who has appeared on Real Housewives of Atlanta with fiancée Porsha Williams—the brand now has nearly two dozen locations open or planned nationwide, with additional Atlanta-area openings announced." - Beth McKibben
