"Austin got its first halal hot dog shop with the expansion of Houston’s Mad Dogs this past April. The Houston food truck opened its first physical restaurant in western downtown, serving up fully loaded halal franks, ranging from the namesake one with cream cheese, crispy fried onions, Sriracha, curry ketchup, and honey-mayonnaise to the brisket dog. Takeout orders can be placed in person or online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
