A hot dog may be an American classic, but Simon’s Hot Dogs proves there’s plenty of room to rewrite the recipe.

Bringing together the familiar comfort of a hot dog with the vibrant flavors of Colombian street food, Simon’s has built its menu around creative combinations, fresh ingredients, and toppings that go well beyond the traditional ketchup and mustard.

Their Colombian influence shows up throughout the menu, with ingredients and flavors such as pineapple, Colombian chorizo, house-made sauces, and other playful combinations joining interpretations of familiar favorites like chili cheese, Chicago-style, and Hawaiian-inspired hot dogs.

And the creativity isn't limited to what's piled on top.

Simon’s emphasizes fresh and locally sourced elements throughout its food, including buns made by local bakers, locally made chorizo and bratwurst, homemade chili, and signature sauces prepared with care.

They've also made dietary options a meaningful part of the menu rather than an afterthought. Simon’s offers vegan hot dogs along with vegan bread, cheese, chili, sauces, and toppings, with separate preparation practices for vegan orders.

The result is festival food that's recognizable enough to feel familiar but different enough to make choosing lunch part of the experience.

Visitors to Scottsdale Book Festival 2027 can stop by Simon’s Hot Dogs, explore their Colombian-inspired creations, and discover just how far you can take one of America's simplest comfort foods with a little imagination.
