The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

Meat sandwiches creations are endless, and everyone has their own preference when it comes to the many options there are. One of the most iconic creations are hotdogs, which hold a special place in our stomachs and hearts. While hotdogs are incredibly flexible, you can dress them up or down however you like, depending on your preference. It’s the combination of a good quality bun, a quality dog, and an array of sauces and dressings that make up an unforgettable sandwich! If you also appreciate a delicious hotdog, we have a list of places to go to get a hold of one! 

Buns and Dawgs 

From their simplest hotdog option to their craziest creations, Buns and Dawgs is a hotdog haven for those who want to experience a great bite and essentially something new. They have their dogs snuggled in their signature pretzel buns that bring the entire sandwich together! You can check out their menu on their Instagram page here. 

Bulldog Burger 

While they’re mainly a burger place, you can still have a mouthwatering hotdog! They don’t have a lot of their own creations, but the idea is to assemble your own burger or hotdog, which is excellent for all the picky eaters out there! You get to customise from scratch. Their buns are also pull-apart-soft, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. You can check them out on Instagram here. 

Flying Dogs

Established by friends, Flying Dogs is the hottest truck that serves hotdogs and wings in Maadi! Their hotdogs are incredibly juicy and satisfying, so prepare yourself for the mess. While their hotdog options are limited, they have perfected every kind; they don’t need to add more to their menu! You can check their full menu on their Instagram page here. 

The Hotdog Stand 

Sahel’s favourite hotdog stand that goes by the same name, The Hotdog Stand summarises the essence of a true New York-style hotdog truck in its simplicity. You can go as plain as you like with just the classic mustard and ketchup combo, or up it a few notches with their colourful dressings! They also serve corn dogs, which is another exciting way to have a hotdog! Check them out on Instagram here.  

Gourmet

Even though Gourmet isn’t a hotdog spot, they make their own sausage that you can buy and cook, but it’s totally worth the extra effort! They have a few options on their New York hotdog selection, from classic and paprika to their Emmental infused or veal hotdogs. The sausage is hearty and flavourful, and you’ll probably have them as your go-to! You can order their hotdogs on their website here.
