News release:

Finally A Hot Dog Stand Opens in the Highlands!
Louisville, Kentucky - May, 15 2008 - Derby City Dogs is the latest business to open on Baxter Avenue.

Derby City opened May 1st, and is the first Hot Dog Store in the Bardstown Road Baxter Avenue Corridor. It is located at 960 Baxter Avenue, across from Wick’s Pizza and next to O’Shea’s Tavern. Derby City serves world famous Nathan's brand all beef hot dogs with gourmet style toppings, bratwurst, corn dogs, veggie dogs, side dishes, ice cream and smoothies.

Derby City Dogs has extended hours and is open until 5am on the weekends. The store has a walk up window service counter and will have inside seating soon. Derby City is Dog friendly. K-9 that is. All dog walkers can stop at the window with their dog for a free Derby City doggie treat. Derby City Dogs will fill a need that has been missing from the Highlands.....great hot dogs and ice cream almost 24 hours per day. Derby City Dogs is the new Big Dog on Baxter.

Heh. I'd like to see the looks on their faces when I bring my 3 big, bouncing golden retrievers thru for a treat!


Sounds like they'll be jam packed on sunny weekends!

I had a Hot Dog from this place last weekend I guess. Friendly service... put up with my drunken rambling and got us moving down the sidewalk quickly. I'm not big on hot dogs, but I got one with Cheese, Japs, and BBQ sauce I think that was pretty good. I was dead set on trying to get a Philly Cheese Steak from them This place should do very well. La Bamba is my normal late night stop, but it will be nice to have something else in the rotation. Hopefully next time I'll be sober enough to look around for an Italian Sausage... that would have been my first choice.

Here's Sammy's opinion on Derby City Dogs:

Who is "Sammy"?

I stopped by yesterday. Yum. I think that area lacks a quick item to nibble on. I can only think of Spenillis? (568-KOOL) and this new venue. Reminds me of a quicker Zapps.

Click the link and find out, Ron. I promise you won't get rickrolled.

JP that's Benny Impellizzeri in the pic. The short one in the white t shirt. Now I know were he got that hot dog t shirt he had last night.

Who is "Sammy"?

Sammy, in Rachel Ray-speak, a sandwich.

Mr. Pierce has it...and you'll notice that "Sammy" looks *just* like a sandwich.

(Not that I condone Rachel Ray-speak by any stretch of the imagination...EVOO grates my nerves like nails on a chalkboard) ha ha

Don't get me started on Ray-Ray.

Ugh, Rachel Ray will be the death of cooking.

Why? She makes simple dishes in a short amount of time....that is what people are looking for now adays...

Because of her attempts at quirky catchy names and phrases for EVERYTHING. It's turning a lot of people off from cooking. I know it makes me going into full "HULK SMASH" mode when I hear that crap.
