Frank's on Pima and Alvernon has Sonoran hot dogs. Pretty good, but I will try Hermano's suggested above.
Luke's on Ft. Lowell has best Chicago style dog in the Tucson area according to my Chicago born and raised spouse.
BTW, it's "Tucson" not "Tuscon" (And "Wilmot" not "Wilmont").

What about the original Nathan's in Coney Island? My favorite since I was 5. I lived 1/4 of a mile on the Bensonhurst side and went there every weekend in the summer.
Being from Coney Island (that is what it was considered at the time), everyone thinks that I have eaten Coney Dogs. Those are completely different and not something you find at Nathan's. Only toppings I ever knew were mustard, saurkraut, green relish or onions. That is it. Before I left Brooklyn, I never had a chili dog, a cheese dog, or a chili-cheese slaw dog.
Also, Varsity in Atlanta makes the best Chili-Cheese Slaw Dog in the world. I had 2 in 2005. Their onion rings and Frozen Orange also rock.
Big Chicago style fan here, but I seriously cannot believe you talked about Southern hot dogs without mentioning the Varsity in Atlanta. It has only been there since 1928 and has been serving up terrific stomach destroying coneys the entire time. You can get slaw dogs there, but the real thing to get is a chili dog with onions and mustard, some fries and an FO (Frozen Orange). The FO banks the fires that are to come. I've had both Varsity and Nu-way and it's Varsity all the way. I'm stuck in Florida so we don't have any regional hot dog specialty, but thank god for Vienna Hot Dogs farming out their stuff! Also we used to have Skyline Chili and I sure do miss skyliners!
Oh boy am I ever happy with my decision to bring hot dogs (OK, OK, they're veggie dogs) to the tailgating event I'm going to tonight. After reading this I'm going to have to clean the drool from my keyboard.
And FWIW, Venezuelans have the greatest hot dogs in the world: mayo, ketchup, mustard, onion, cabbage, and crushed potato chips on a steamed potato roll. Pure win.
Japadog in Vancouver? That's hilarious! I just had a real Chicago Red Hot guy open a few blocks from me in Portland. He even discounts his dogs during Cubs games.
