Here's what the site had to say:

"Gourmet hot dogs and house-made brioche donuts are the main attractions at this restaurant in Phoenix. There's a long list of hot dogs to try, from all-beef and bratwurst to veggie and spicy link, and they're unconventionally served in naan bread with a range of toppings. The menu is helpfully color-coded to highlight classic dogs and the more out-there creations. The Bear falls into the latter camp: a dog with peanut butter, smoked Gouda, bacon, barbecue sauce, and Cracker Jacks."
