There are two queues for Dodger Dog vendors: steamed or grilled. The vendors of the grilled dogs locate near the back wall of the stadium so that the smoke doesn't overwhelm the baseball fans. Some purists believe the grilled dogs are superior to the steamed variety.

The success of the Dodger Dog has spawned a small chain of restaurants in the Southern California area. One such restaurant named Dodger Dogs can be found in Universal City, California. The Dodger Dog is also available in the “Super Dodger Dog” variation, which is made of beef rather than pork. It is believed that Dodger Dogs were first called "Dodger Dogs" in 1958 when the Dodgers first came to Los Angeles from Brooklyn.

Creator

Thomas Arthur created the nearly foot-long "Dodger Dog," during his 29 years (1962-1991) as the food concessions manager at Dodger Stadium. The 10" long frank was originally made by the Morrell meat company, but Farmer John, one of the Dodgers chief sponsors, soon took over the frank needs of the stadium. LA Times, June 27, 2006
