The word is out on these tattooed hot dogs. But where can you find them?
A hot dog with a tattoo?
You can get one in Fresno now that the New York-born Snap Dog has opened its hot dog cart.
OK, it’s not actually a tattoo. But the Snap Dog logo and the word “beef” appear on every dog.
It’s the company’s way of letting customers know its hot dogs are 100 percent beef. The company doesn’t say how exactly how it does this, other than to say it is a unique and all-natural process. It uses “innovative hot dog casing technology that enables the graphics to naturally appear on the surface of the hot dog without using any dyes and/or colorings on the hot dog.”
One New York television station did a news report on the company’s approach.
Snap Dog made its Fresno debut Thursday at CartHop on Mariposa Plaza in downtown. You can also find Snap Dog at events hosted by Clovis Unified School District and CrossCity Christian Church.
