The question isn't if you'll encounter hot dogs on the Fourth of July, but what kind.
The big picture: It turns out different U.S. regions have distinct go-to hot dog toppings.
Zoom in: Searches for Sonoran hot dogs are over-represented in Colorado compared to the country as a whole.
- That's based on Google searches from June 17-24, according to Google Trends' Jenny Lee.
How it's made: Its name is a nod to the Mexican state of Sonora.
- The bolillo-style bun comes filled to the brim with a grilled bacon-wrapped dog loaded with pinto beans, onions, tomatoes, plus drizzles of mustard, mayonnaise and green salsa.
Dig in: Sonoran-inspired franks can be found at several spots around town, including Hamburguesas Don Jesús, Biker Jim's, La Dogueria in Commerce City, and Sonora Hot Dogs y Hamburguesa in Thornton.
