The style dates back to a grunge-era bagel cart in Pioneer Square that doled out the late-night snacks to people stumbling out of rock shows. And it’s stuck around ever since. Not all Seattle dogs are exactly alike, and folks might debate essential components. (Is mustard even necessary? Jalapeños?) But there's no arguing that people have grown to embrace the schmear-slathered franks. Here are the places cooking the best dogs in town right now, ranked.
Instead of Going on Vacation, Go Out to Eat at These Fantastic Downtown Restaurants
A city’s downtown is its living, beating heart. It’s the center of business in every sense of the word — there’s all manner of commerce in every direction, and everything (and everyone) is busy, like in a Richard Scarry book.
