The Gourmet Chili Dog - Myrtle Beach Dog Tour - SC 2008 Mini Tour - By Captain Morgan & roossy90 of Roadfood.com

South Carolina's Myrtle Beach
2008 Mini Tour

Captain Morgan & Roossy90 of Roadfood.com

We started in Socastee at:

The Hot Dog Queen
8724-D Hwy 707
Myrtle Beach SC 29588

The Hot Dog Queen's Website

From a newspaper review

" All-beef frankfurters, pork wieners and Sabrett wieners are all available at this eatery that aims to take hotdogs to greater heights. I ate what I would call an ordinary or traditional hotdog with chili, onions, mustard and ketchup. The chili was good, but the wiener was just OK. It lacked bite. Pun intended. Anyway, it didn't take away from my eating experience because overall the hotdog was tasty." This is a fairly new joint, but one of the few that actually is built around hot dogs. Plus, the girl seems to be trying some weird offerings similar to Jack's Cosmic Dog outside of Charleston, which is a favorite of Alton Brown.

Next we headed to Peaches Corner but they were closed.
Peaches Corner
900 N Ocean Blvd
Myrtle Beach
843-448-7424

Which is the quintessential old school Myrtle Beach joint..by the beach, decades of memories....most folks say they have the best hot dog in town. However, they aren't answering their phone, so they may be closed in January.. plenty of joints here are closed in the off season.

So we went to Murrells Inlet to the Hot Dog Cart Guy. While the dog was good (Sabretts), the chili and slaw tasted like storebought stuff, and probably was...DHEC won't let people make chili at home and sell it, and since he doesn't have a commercial kitchen, he probably just buys stuff at Sams.

Then we headed to:
Burkey's Grill
3901 North Kings Highway
Myrtle Beach, SC 29577
843-626-2888

"Burky's Grill is owned and operated by Wayne Burkart former owner of G.D. Ritzy's. You will experience the same 1950's Soda Fountain atmosphere, and the same menu that you came to know and love at Ritzy's, only the name has changed! We offer fresh burgers, Sabrett's 100% beef hot dogs..."

Burkeys Grill

Didn't get there:
Sams Corner
7718 North Kings Highway
Myrtle Beach, SC
843-449-3342
Sam's Corner...there are two locations...one in Garden City across from the beach, and one in Myrtle Beach that we will visit. Both I believe are still open 24 hours, and claim the title of best hot dogs in Myrtle Beach. Lots of people tell me they used to be, but now they claim the service sucks and are too expensive...not trying to influence Roos here, but we'll be the judge of that!

Below our two 2008 Myrtle Beach Mini Tour explorers Jim aka (Captain Morgan) & Tara aka (Roossy90) of Roadfood.com.
Our thanks for their time to give the Hot Dog enthusiasts additional knowledge. They have shown how much fun & enjoyment can be found with a mini tour.

THANK YOU Jim and Tara

I'm not rating or looking to start a forum. I think Roadfood.com is great. I'm trying to give the vendors an idea of the quality of their food. I will not bad mouth any vendor because they may be advertising. I will take bad comments and let the vendor know.

I'm looking to help even the little push cart vendor who has no address per say. I'm giving them a 6 month free listing which includes setup fee. At the end of 6 months it will cost $10.00 a year for the listing. They get one page of advertising. If any vendor doesn't want to continue advertising they will still have a free listing in our Hot Dog Vendors Database.

This site not only helps the vendor, but also the hot dog lover looking for a hot dog fix.

Sincerely

John Sagi
