According to a press release (which, by the way, is different than an actual story, cultivating sources or an actual submitted opinion column) from the Arizona Diamondbacks, they are now going to offer a Sonoran-style hot dog at home games for seven bucks. Woweee. Seriously, that just doesn’t seem right, offering up bacon-wrapped goodness in Maricopa County.

You know, of course, there’s nothing like a Sonoran hot dog to say, “Hey, all you, er, Mex, er, Hispanics, we love you, we welcome you and we want your dollars, so we’ve made special food and days, just for you.”

Here’s what they say:

PHOENIX — The Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) will offer a Sonoran-style hot dog at every home game for $7 at Red Hot Grill locations in sections 126 and 320. In addition, the team has partnered with Univision to offer a special Sonoran Dog Package, El Pa’quetellenes, for only $15 that includes an Outfield Reserve ticket, Sonoran-style hot dog, 24 ounce Pepsi and a coupon for a free cookie from SUBWAY® Restaurants. El Pa’quetellenes, presented by Univision, is available at every D-backs home game and can be purchased online at www.losdbacks.com.

The Sonoran Dog is a hot dog wrapped in mesquite-smoked bacon that is grilled, and then topped with pico de gallo, ranch-style beans and a mayo drizzle. The Sonoran Dog originated in Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora, Mexico, and is traditionally found in Phoenix, Tucson and Sonora.

  1. That’s a pretty damn good deal for that package, seeing as the White Man version (with regular hot dog) costs more than $20.

  3. It’s a ploy Brian, a ploy! Stay home, go to BKs and watch on TV. Also, you too may take advantage of this sweet deal …

  4. This article and comments are giving me a mean case of deja vu..

    Anyway, anyone who has spent anytime hanging out with Mexicans, knows it aint a deal for them unless it comes with a Bud Light.

    Well, I guess that this Lillywhite white guy referring to himself in the third person must have some “Hispanic” in his family tree. I LOVE me some Sonoran hot dogs! But if BURNIE MAK is correct than I can’t be of the Mexican variety, because Bud Light tastes like rancid water to me.

  6. Hey, I think anyone can eat a damn sonoran dog and I recommend it. Also, Burnie, go to the freezer section at the American Meat Market — have them there all ready to go. It’s the press release folks. It’s a little ridiculous. But really, who doesn’t love a hot dog wrapped in bacon and other lovey items?

  7. My mouth says gimme!
    My arteries and heart say noooo.
    My brain says eat the dogs in Tucson, not at a Phoenix DB’s game.

  8. I don’t see the word “Hispanic” in the press release. Why did you use it in your title?

    And are you kinda, sorta, maybe hinting that the press release is racist? Why is Univision supporting it?
