I think you just described Sonic Drive-in.
Also, Smokey Joe's used to have a two chili dog meal. I'm not sure if they still do. I haven't been there in a while.

Bay Dawgz last day was 10 September according to the memorial page on Facebook.

Geez. Did that place even make it a full year?
I don't think so.

Although I think it is sad that a homegrown local business didn't survive is terrible, I knew from the start that they were doomed.
Taking a family of 4 for a hot dog based meal and spending $35-$50 is crazy! As soon as I saw their menu with prices I knew they would be gone soon.

I never even went to try them because a girlfriend of mine went w/ her SO and just for the 2 of them it was $40. $40 for HOT DOGS people what in the actual f ck?!?!?

Was that hot dog place started by the same guy who does a new "upscale" restaurant every other year? I swear either we have retarded banks that will lend money to anyone (ohh, only 6 failed restaurants in this area before. Sure, we will give you another loan), or he his laundering money.

$40? Had to work to get two people up to $40, I think. Granted, even $25 for two is hard to swallow, even if the dogs are tasty, I thought the prices were high, but $40 for two people would not have been normal.
Nope, this guy, this was the only place he's ever opened. And I'm guessing the only one he ever will.

Been too spoiled by Costco polish dogs for $1.50 (with a Coke). Can't imagine paying 20x as much no matter how fancy the table napkin is.

She said they each got a specialty dog (if I know her she got either a Chicago style or fully loaded chili dog) and shared the crab dog, they each also got fries and a drink, I'm pretty sure she said they shared a dessert but too and it was $40. :shrug: She did say that all of the dogs were really good, but she just couldn't see spending that much.
OMG I know!! They are the best and at that price! They sell them in the big size and smaller size too in the refridgerated section.
Yes and they are opening September 24th.

Yeah, adding that third $10 crab dog would be enough to send you to $40. Wife and I ended up the $25-$30 range when we went
The other thing is, they stopped opening for dinner on weeknights. I went there early in the summer for dinner and they were closed. You can't charge dinner prices for lunch food and only be open for lunch. Their food was good however. Kinda sad. Maybe better off as a food truck.
They could clean up if they did that and covered CWS Friday on base. The choices are few and far between on CWS Friday.
Bummer about Bay Dawgz. I ended up settling on getting their footlong with bacon/nacho cheese/onions each time I went after the first time I tried that combo. So, so good! Definitely expensive though.
Anyone know when the shops and the Harris Teeter in that new shopping center open up?

A hot dog place can do OK, not sure about around here.
This place is popular as hell and has been around since the mid 80's. It is also pretty cheap, same price as going to McDonalds or BK, they even have 12 chili dogs for $12.

But those guys have a pretty varied menu, which BD did not.

Getting three people that all just want dogs, not easy.

I heard they are hoping to open some time in December.
The lot/area looks really huge and kinda open in the front. Does anyone know if they plan on putting a restaurant or something in the front?
We used to have these in San Diego and they were great. Super cheap but really tasty. http://www.wienerschnitzel.com/food/hot-dogs/
