The Original Hot Dog Factory Downtown

"When you’re downtown, hit The Original Hot Dog Factory for their unmatched selection of more than 25 varieties—plus a build-your-own option. When we want to pretend we’re on an episode of Hot Ones, we snag the Fire Dog with jalapeños, sport peppers, and crunchy Flamin’ Hot Cheetos all doused with hot sauce. But the classics are solid, too. There are mostly GSU students inside at the bar or outside on the turfed patio, but we don’t mind a little Panther pride nor that the dogs are slightly overcooked since they are covered with enough toppings to make you forget the inconvenience." - juli horsford, demarco williams
