The Best Hot Dog Ever: The Swiss Hot Dog Factory in Vail Colorado!

Best. Hot. Dog. Ever.
The Swiss Hot Dog Factory in Vail, Colorado is Devine!

I can’t even talk about this hot dog it’s so good. You have to taste it for yourself. Its tiny sausage links, sprouts, spicy mustard sauce on a very fresh, nicely toasted bun. The end result is a "Best of Vail Valley 2005" award for the 'best hot dog in the valley' - in my opinion, its the best hot dog in the history of the world! But beware - owner Ernst Larese is a bit strange and a BIG talker - if you are eating your hot dog in his shop, be prepared to talk, talk, talk and yap, yap, yap... he makes a mean hot dog but is an even bigger talker!



When named the Best Hot Dog in Vail by Vail daily - Mr Ernst Larese gave the following responses which appeared in the paper: "I'm very happy about being named Best Hot Dog in the Vail Valley," said Ernst Larese, owner and operator of Lionshead's Swiss Hot Dog.

When asked, "what makes Swiss hot dogs the best?" it became clear why Larese has been in business in Vail for so many years.

"Unique spices and special sausages from Denver," Larese admitted, are the foundation of his restaurant's success.

"I've got customers from Kuwait, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia" who have been "been coming back for 20 years because of the taste."
