Mike's Hot Dogs

This afternoon my wife and I took the twins to Mike's Hot Dogs in Sandy Springs for lunch. I had been to Mike's several times in the past, so I already knew that these would be the best hot dogs in Atlanta.

Like all good restaurants in the ATL, Mike's is located in a strip mall. The Vienna Beef sign is an indication that you've come to the right place for quality dogs.


The walls are covered with Chicago history, sports and hot-dog related memorabilia.


My favorite was this poster from Vienna. As a reminder, I'll punch you in the face if I see you putting ketchup on a hot dog.


I ordered two Chicago Dogs with everything on them, and they were wonderful. All of the ingredients are authentic, right down to the freaky bright-green relish.


Check out this cross-section of my first dog (I always squeeze the hot peppers inside the dog so they don't go shooting across the room when I chomp down, potentially blinding one of my co-eaters).


The only thing at Mike's that that turned my stomach were a handful of White Sox posters, but I guess Atlanta is technically south of Madison Street, so we'll let that slide.

Hot dog count: 35

Dog on...
