From their website: Ever since relocating from Connecticut, the word on the street we’ve heard over and over again is “You can’t get a great dog in Denver.” We changed that by connecting with our long-time supplier of the best hot dogs made, Thumann’s of New Jersey.
These hot dogs have a fantastic taste unlike other hot dogs in Colorado, combining a natural casing with a flavorful blend of beef and pork with a smokey flavoring that “snaps” when you bite into it
Locations: 2445 Larimer St., Denver and in Ball Arena: Sections 103 and 335
Conveniently placed three blocks from Coors Field, Billy’s is another on this list that aims to bring some of culinary Chicago to Denver between the hours of 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. daily.
From their website: Bill Feid’s love of hot dogs started as a young boy. As a child growing up in Chicago, hot dogs were a traditional pre-Thanksgiving meal in the Feid household. Every Thanksgiving Day, Bill’s father would pack the kids up and head downtown for hot dogs while his mother stayed home preparing the turkey. And so began Bill’s love of the hotdog and the good memories he associates to this day with the dog.
Located at 11405 East Briarwood Ave. Suite 900, Centennial
This self-proclaimed home of the original snapping dog has been serving up Chicago dogs for decades, but if you are feeling hot dog-adjacent on this holiday, then try the restaurant’s most popular sandwich, the Italian Beef.
