Sonic recently expanded its line of delicious hot dogs with the addition of the new Loaded Cheddar Dogs. As chains such as Burger King have demonstrated, there is a growing demand for hot dogs at fast food and fast casual restaurants. The latest Sonic dishes give consumers a cheesy alternative to its wildly popular Chili Cheese Coneys.
The new Loaded Cheddar Dogs add a delicious twist to a beloved BBQ dish by filling premium beef hot dogs with cheddar cheese. The hot dogs come in two different varieties dubbed the Bacon Triple Cheesy Cheddar Dog and the Chili Double Cheesy Cheddar Dog. The former features a cheese-filled hot dog, topped with bacon, melted cheese and cheddar cheese sauce. The latter consists of a cheddar-stuffed hot dog topped with chili and melted cheese. Both are served on a potato bun for a BBQ-quality dining experience.
