| Atlanta Braves Georgia Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Slaw. Down South hot dogs are just not hot dogs unless they're blanketed in coleslaw. To add a little local sweetness, Braves fans top their Georgia Dog with sautéed Vidalia onions.
| Arizona Diamondbacks Arizona Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Southwestern flavors. A foot-long all-beef hot dog is kicked up with chorizo sausage, nacho cheese, and colorful, confetti-like tortilla strips, giving this Arizona dog a nice crunch.
| Boston Red Sox Fenway Frank |
Why It's a Hit: Homegrown frank. Local purveyor Kayem has been making its beef hot dogs in Chelsea, Massachusetts, since 1909. The snappy franks are steamed, then grilled and wedged inside a classic New England-style bun (crustless on the sides with a split top).
Fun Fact: Fenway is the first MLB ballpark to install a Hot Nosh Glatt Kosher hot dog vending machine.
| Chicago Cubs Chicago-Style Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Garden on a bun. Cubs fans surely like their vegetables. The garlicky beef wiener is simmered in boiling water, then tucked into a poppy-seed bun and topped with sautéed sweet onions, "sport" peppers, diced tomatoes, brinykosher pickle spears, yellow mustard, neon-green relish, and a dash of celery salt.
| Chicago White Sox Italian Sausage |
Why It's a Hit: Spicy sausage. Like the rest of the Windy City, White Sox fans like their Chicago-style dog. But when they enter U.S. Cellular Field, fans make a play for the juicy Polish pork sausage and this hot Italian sausage with sautéed red and green bell peppers.
Fun Fact: This season the stadium offers sustainably conscious eaters hormone-free and humanely raised Niman Ranch sausages.
| Cincinnati Reds Cheese Coney |
Why It's a Hit: Skyline Chili. Cincy residents are as passionate about their Reds as they are about their chili. Cloaked in the famous Skyline saucy chili with hints of cinnamon and chocolate, the Cheese Coney is then topped with chopped onions and heaps of tangy, shredded cheddar cheese.
| Colorado Rockies Rockie Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Length. Well, they're not exactly as high as the Colorado mountain range, but fans do get to munch on fresh-off-the-grill foot-long dogs with grilled peppers, sautéed onions, and sauerkraut.
Fun Fact: In 2009, Coors Field was the first stadium to introduce a concession stand featuring gluten-free hot dogs.
| Detroit Tigers Coney Island |
Why It's a Hit: Meat on meat. The Midwest is big on chili dogs, but unlike Cincinnati's cheesy iteration, Detroit's version focuses on the meat. At Comerica Park, fans line up at Leo's Coney Island, where the beef hot dogs are slathered with a "wet," beanless chili spiced with cumin and sweet, chopped onions.
| Houston Astros "Most Wanted" Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Texas BBQ. In Texas, barbecue rules. And it's no different at Minute Maid Park. Astros fans can get their fix with the "Most Wanted" dog swimming in chopped beef brisket BBQ sauce and topped with chopped onions and sliced salty kosher pickles.
| Kansas City Royals Royal Blue Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Blue cheese. An all-beef frank topped with creamy, tangy blue cheese sauce, crispy bacon bits (made with real bacon), and chopped red onion.
| Los Angeles Angels Halo Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Bacon. Followers of the Mexican-style street dog will be happy to find it at Angels Stadium. The all-beef hot dog is wrapped with bacon and topped with charro beans, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and pico de gallo salsa.
| Los Angeles Dodgers Dodger Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Have it your way. First off, the Dodger Dog is a foot long, so you won't need to miss an inning for second helpings. Next, Dodger fans decide if they want their pork frankfurter grilled or steamed. The cooked dog is cushioned by a steamed bun with traditional toppings — mustard and relish.
| Milwaukee Brewers Bratwurst |
Why It's a Hit: Brats. Klement's Sausage Company provides the hometown favorite: brats. It's predicted nearly 1 million sausages will be served at Miller Park during the 2010 season. The pork and beef brats are grilled, then wedged in a crusty roll, doused with the "secret stadium sauce," and topped with sauerkraut and spicy brown mustard.
Fun Fact: According to the National Hot Dog & Sausage Council, Miller Park is the only stadium in Major League Baseball where sausages outsell hot dogs.
| New York Mets Shack-cago Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Shake Shack. Though Mets fans lost their beloved Shea Stadium in 2008, the new Citi Field has a culinary bonus: an outpost of chef Danny Meyer's Shake Shack. Shake Shack started in 2004 as a Manhattan take-out stand where sophisticated New Yorkers queued up for sliders and franks. Its Citi Field branch showcases the Shack-cago-style dog: a Vienna all-beef dog on a poppy-seed bun, dragged through the garden — onion, cucumber, pickles, tomatoes, sport peppers — and topped with celery salt, Rick's Picks relish and yellow
| New York Yankees Nathan's Hot Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Classic New York. Yankee Stadium's signature Nathan's Famous hot dog is as iconic as George Steinbrenner. Like the Mets, the Yankees moved to a new and improved ballpark in 2009, but their passionate fans got to keep their classic all-beef natural-casing hot dog served boiled (a water dog) ona steamed bun.
| Philadelphia Phillies Fan Favorite |
Why It's a Hit: Majority rules. This year, Phillies fans can vote on what will become the stadium's new signature dog.

| Pittsburgh Pirates Hot Italian |
Why It's a Hit: Peppers and onions. The sausage selection at PNC Park pays homage to the city's German, Polish, and Italian roots. The Hot Italian is seasoned with crushed red pepper and topped with sautéed peppers and onions served on a crusty roll.
| San Diego Padres Sonoran Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Tremendous toppings. A sturdy roll is needed to hold all the toppings on the San Diego Padres' Sonoran Dog. A hearty roll stuffed with an all-beef hot dog spiraled with bacon is then topped with a choice of pinto beans, grilled onions and peppers, tomatoes, relish, tomatillo salsa, mayo, mustard, ketchup, and cheese.
| San Francisco Giants Tres Agave Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Chipotle sauce. San Francisco is a serious food town. AT&T Park definitely follows suit, offering Giants fans Mexican-style street-cart dogs from the upscale Tres Agaves. Cloaked in a spicy chipotle mayonnaise, the bacon-wrapped dog is then dressed with sweet grilled onions, jalapeños, and cucumber pico de gallo.
| Seattle Mariners Sea Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Fish sticks. When your team is named the Mariners, it makes sense to serve seafaring fans fish. Safeco Field's spin is a 10-inch fillet of cod, battered and fried, then stuffed in a bun served with tartar sauce and lemon.
| Texas Rangers Big Dog |
Why It's a Hit: Texas-style chili. To satisfy big appetites, Texas Rangers fans chow down on a 1/3-lb. Sheriff Blaylock all-beef dog hot off the grill, placed in a foot-long Coney bun, then loaded with chili meat and nacho cheese, and topped off with grilled onions.
| Washington Nationals Ben's Half Smoke |
Why It's a Hit: All the way. The signature dog of the Washington Nationals hails from local joint Ben's Chili Bowl, where the family recipe mixes fresh, lean ground beef and secret spices. The half smoke — half pork and half beef thick-smoked dog — comfortably swims in the rich, saucy chili, onions, and cheddar cheese, also known as an "all the way."
