Every September, Joe’s Farm Grill in Gilbert pays homage to everyone’s favorite summer staple: the hot dog. This year, Joe’s offers 12 specialty hot dogs and sausages, all featuring meat from Schreiner’s Fine Sausages in Phoenix. Hot dogs are a quarter pound, all-beef in natural casing. Each is served with fries (or any regular menu substitute or upgrade) and is priced $7.99 for one or $10.99 for any two including the dessert dog. (Double dogs include one side, feel free to mix and match, except for The Foot-long Dog.)
