Best Restaurants to Try While Visiting Wilmington, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"Since 1976, beachgoers and locals have lined up at Trolly Stop in Wrightsville Beach for one (or more) of its iconic hotdogs. Customers pick a style of dog, the beef and pork traditional Southern dog, the all-beef Northern dog, the smoked turkey dog, the veggie dog, or smoked pork sausage, before deciding on toppings. The Surfer Dog comes topped with mustard, cheese, and bacon bits, while the Mexican Dog has salsa, cheese, onions, jalapenos, and two strips of bacon. Out-of-staters should probably go for the true North Carolina experience and order the Carolina dog with deli mustard, chili, and coleslaw." - Matt Lardie
