For National Geographic, it's all about the Sonoran dog.
Well not all about it, but Tucson's signature hot dog was quite a draw.
In selecting Tucson as one of their 10 best winter trips for 2017, Nat Geo provided only one reason: The food. Specifically, the Sonoran dog.
"Sure Tucson’s high-end fare fires up foodies. But it’s the affordable eats—like the aforementioned bacon-wrapped hot dog stuffed in a roll and smothered with pinto beans, salsa, onions, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and mustard—that tempt the taste buds of epicureans on a budget," according to the article's opening lines.
Naturally El Guero Canelo and BK Tacos are mentioned as well-known purveyors of Sonoran dogs, but also included is the lesser-known El Perro Loco food truck. Representing other types of Mexican fare, BOCA Tacos y Tequila, Tacos Apson and a few other local favorites also make their way into the article.
Nat Geo also provides potential visitors with a little background on our town, tips on what to bring when you visit ("a bike,") a curated Spotify play list for the trip and an "inside tip" about where to go to experience the city-designated Best 23 Miles of Mexican Food.
