Calling all summer foodies – we have a fun idea for you to try! We have compiled a list of must-try hot dogs throughout the region. Whether you like a classic Zweigle, or a gourmet sandwich, we have a dog that will satisfy your summer craving.
Geneva:
Begin your journey in Geneva at the Rusty Pig for an award-winning experience. Known for their famous FLX barbecues, their double barrel sausage is flame broiled with made-in-house golden kraut BBQ sauce. Maybe not your typical “hot dog”, but the best sausage in Geneva!
Phelps:
What says “summer” more than hot dogs and ice cream? At Henyo’s Gooney Village in Phelps, you can experience this elite combination for yourself. Henyo’s is a loved business that tends to fly under the radar, but it is no secret to locals that their dogs and sundaes are good.
Canandaigua:
For the next stop on the trail, treat yourself to what we call a "Canandaigua Classic"—a simple yet satisfying hot dog served with cheese, crispy onion rings and a side of homemade pickles from the KIX on Main Food Truck on Main Street in Canandaigua.
Victor:
At the Thirsty Turtle, you can get a taste of a Rochester classic, a “garbage plate”, known as a “turtle plate” at this restaurant. Enjoy a Zweigles red hot with home fries or French fries, baked beans, and macaroni salad topped off with condiments of your choice.
Naples:
As you reach the end of the trail in Naples, treat yourself to Brew and Brats at Arbor Hill! Located in a 170-year-old carriage barn and offers delightful locally sourced and cured meats, including sausages and bratwursts! Brew and Brats shares a location with Arbor Hill Winery, so you can pair your summer “dog” with some Finger Lakes wines and craft beverage.
