Biker Jim’s is an ode to the hot dog and all its infinite potential. Fifteen varieties are available, from wild boar and rattlesnake to classic all-beef and a choice of vegan weenies (mild or spicy). Elk, reindeer, rattlesnake, duck cilantro, bacon brat, and wild boar are a few other options.
Once you choose the frank you like, it’s time to decide how you want it dressed. Here, too, options are staggering. Biker Jim’s Classic topper is cream cheese and caramelized onions. There are traditional Coney sauce, the Sonoran array (pinto beans, jalapenos, tomatoes, onions, mustard, and mayo), El Diablo (tomatillo chile salsa, sriracha lime mayo, and bacon), and at least a half-dozen more.
Available sides include French fries served too hot to hold; house-made potato chips, vegan Biker Baked Beans, fried pickles, and charred tahini cauliflower. Even dessert is different: not just ordinary ice cream sandwiches, but chipotle ice cream sandwiches. Or how about limoncello sour orange swirl cheesecake with a ginger snap crust?
Note: Biker Jim’s is open until 3:30am Friday and Saturday nights. The rest of the week, it closes at 10pm.
