Chris’ Famous Hot Dogs in Montgomery, Alabama

We were driving through Montgomery, and Chris’ Famous Hot Dogs was on my shortlist of spots to have lunch. Chris’ Hot Dogs (138 Dexter Avenue), a staple for hot dog lovers in Montgomery, Alabama, has been around since 1917.

I was with my buds, the entire Miami Meat Machine crew, so some good eating was about to be had.

Crinkle-cut fries & onion rings were my starters. I’m not a big ketchup fan, but I think that crinkle cuts are the ideal fry for dipping.

So it was a no-brainer that I order their namesake Chris’ Famous Hot Dog. Mustard, onion, kraut & ChrisFamous Chili Sauce top the steamed bun & dog. Yeah, I can see why this fella is so popular.

I fell in love with the cheeseburger, a fresh beef patty topped with mustard, ketchup, onion & Chris’ Chili Sauce. The dog might be the star at Chris,’ but I preferred the cheeseburger.

It might be because Chris’ Famous Chili Sauce reminds me of the Biff Burger Sauce (which is a great thing).
