DID YOU KNOW that all mobile food units in Calgary go through vigorous inspections annually? We work closely with AHS, multiple fire departments and licensing to make sure the trucks are in tip-top shape and safe for the season. Both our trucks are ready to rip and have new shiny stickers to boot… bring on the 2026 food truck season 🌭

Our cheesy Dorito dog is an all-time favourite 🧀 If you love our cheesy dog, but are looking for a little more substance - this is the hotdog for you!

We take one of our grilled-to-perfection hotdogs, then top it with a layer of warm melted cheese. To finish it, we add a generous helping of doritos on top! PS: Ask for the bun to be toasted for an extra bit of crunch.

You can get this hotdog creation at any of our locations 🌭

Behold... the PANCAKE DOG 🥞🌭

If you've been to our cart, you've probably seen breakfast cereal as a topping... now we are taking the breakfast hotdog to a new level.

What is it, you ask? Well... this creation starts with two pancakes which are cooked on our grill, then buttered to perfection. A hotdog is then placed in the pancakes and topped with a drizzle of maple syrup! If you're looking for the perfect combination of sweet and savoury, this is IT!

Try the Pancake Dog exclusively at the Cowboys Calgary Stampede Tent.
