Urban Hot Dog has won the award "Best Hot Dog in America" in a competition with 64 other restaurants and establishments. Based in Albuquerque, the brand operates two physical locations and food trucks, according to a report by KOAT.

Owner Matthew Bernabe launched Urban Hot Dog in 2012 and provides unique toppings such as tater tots and mac and cheese. During Mardi Gras, Bernabe provides alligator filets and sausages for the hot dogs.

"We expanded the food trucks, other locations, we do weddings, all sorts of catering events. I mean, a hot dog just kind of goes with everything," Bernabe said in the report.
