A TV-famous hot dog joint from Atlanta has debuted in Fort Worth: The Original Hot Dog Factory which you may have seen featured on BRAVO’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, has opened a location at 6318 Hulen Bend Blvd. next to the AMC movie theater with an expansive menu of hot dogs of all kinds.

The Original Hot Dog Factory owner and founder is Dennis McKinley, a restaurateur, promoter, and entrepreneur who appeared in Bravo's Real Housewives of Atlanta in 2018-19, while he was dating cast member Porsha Williams. The first location opened in 2010 but he rebranded and revamped the concept in 2015, with a plan to expand.

There are currently 16 locations including Fort Worth and Houston which opened in 2020. For the FW location, he's partnered with Jazzy Lady Entertainment, which also owns a printing and promotion company in Fort Worth.

McKinley is no stranger to DFW: In 2021, he opened a location of his Cru Hemp Lounge chain in Carrollton, which has since closed.

A native of Detroit, McKinley grew up eating Coney Island style hot dogs, on a steamed bun, topped with chili sauce, chopped raw onion, and yellow mustard, but became intrigued by the variety of different hot dog styles driven by regional differences.

That array can be found on the menu where options include pretty much a variety for every city in the U.S.:

• All American - beef hot dog topped with ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions

They also offer plant-based Beyond Sausage as an option.

Other items include wings, grilled chicken sandwich, chili cheese fries with bacon, diced hot dogs, jalapeño, green onions and try me sauce, a half-pound Angus burger, and deep-fried corn dog nuggets.

According to a spokesperson, nine more locations are in the works including one coming to Dallas later this year.

"We're taking it slowly to make sure we are putting out a great hot dog in Fort Worth before expanding," she says.
