Hot Dog Heaven: Fort Lauderdale's Historic Stand Serving Chicago Style Franks

The hot dog has always been man’s best friend,  so you can continue the tradition at Hot Dog Heaven the First National Historic Vienna hot dog stand in the country.

Serving America’s original fast food for 46 years,  Hot Dog Heaven has been selling Chicago style Franks with all the fixings in Fort Lauderdale.

Under new ownership under the condition they continue the Hot Dog Heaven Legacy,  Joe Barra and Mathew Abdol,   both Fort Lauderdale residents jumped at the chance to own the neighborhood favorite when it went up for sale.

Hot Dog Heaven starts with a pure beef Vienna hot dog made with the freshest leanest domestic beef, mixed with a secret blend of spices and then hardwood hickory smoked.   The hot dog is nestled in a steamed poppy seed bun, covered with a wonderful combination of yellow mustard, bright green relish, fresh chopped onion, juicy red tomato wedges, a crisp half sour pickle spear, a dash of celery salt and and a couple of spicy sport peppers for little extra zing.

It’s easy to find this place because there’s always people lining up around lunch time.

Now open 6 days a week from 10:00 to 5:00 p.m.

A cherished Landmark for Chicago style dog lovers in South Florida.
