Popular Houston Hot Dog Cart Yoyo’s Will Open Its First Permanent Location | Eater Houston

"Founded in 2010 to elevate a universally cherished but often misunderstood food, this wildly popular late‑night cart became known for elaborately loaded all‑beef hot dogs and a massive cult following—fans have described the experience as “life‑changing,” “the dankest dogs in Houston,” and “a revolutionary hot dog experience.” Owner Danny “Yoyo” Kim refined a cooking method for all‑beef Nathan’s Famous franks that produces a crispy skin and an extra‑juicy, flavorful bite; diners then customize their dogs with toppings such as crunchy fried onions, curry ketchup, warm cream cheese, spicy mustard, and honey mayo. After launching at a Washington Avenue–adjacent bar and gaining notoriety in Rice Village (where footage shows long lines well past midnight), the operation expanded to a food truck, a College Station location, and a halal outpost in Sugar Land. Signage is up for its first standalone restaurant at 4620 Washington Avenue, with an opening date yet to be announced, and it’s expected to become a popular late‑night destination for nearby bar crowds." - Brittanie Shey
