When you're attending a special event in western Placer County, what could be better than enjoying a delicious, grilled hot dog, prepared by friendly staff? OK... here's one better ... a bacon wrapped hot dog! Mannys BBW Dawgs, a pop up restaurant based in Lincoln, CA, serves amazing bacon wrapped hot dogs at special events, all over the greater Sacramento area. As with all of reviews that I publish, I have no affiliation with the restaurant reviewed, and there is no monetary gain on my part, as I am simply a person who likes to eat, and I love to write-up, and publish my dining experiences.
Photo: It's early Saturday afternoon, April 25, 2026, and I'm at the Lincoln Wine Fest 2026, and Manny's BBW Hot Dawgs has set up shop in Beermann Plaza, in downtown Lincoln, CA and is handing out half-size "Manny Dawgs" as one of the "small bites" included with the event. The event featured Placer County local wineries, micro breweries and restaurants, all offering pours and samples of fine, local cuisine from many area restaurants. All for a single, low price! Check out my write-up of Lincoln Wine Fest 2026 by clicking on the highlighted ink.

Photo: Today's "small bites" from Manny's was one half of a "Manny Dawg," which is the signature offering of the restaurant. This is a 100% beef frank, bacon wrapped, grilled onions/bell peppers, diced tomato, mayo, ketchup, mustard, topped with a whole roasted jalapeņo. How many ways can you say "Mexican style hot dog?" As I placed my order, I asked for "everything" in the line of toppings, but asked the staff to hold the ketchup. No problem, as Manny makes dogs your way! The "dawg" began with an all-beef frank, cut in half, and wrapped with a slice of bacon and grilled to perfection. The dog was placed on a fresh bun, cut in half, drizzled with mustard and mayonnaise, and covered with diced tomato, along with grilled orange, green and yellow bell peppers slices, along with strings of grilled onion. As a final touch, a half of a grilled jalapeņo chili pepper was placed on the "dawg" for garnish and extra flavor. The delicious, bacon wrapped frank worked great with the fresh bun, the mustard and mayo, along with the veggie toppings to make a delicious hot dog, somewhat similar to the hundreds of hot dogs that I've enjoyed during my many trips to Mexico. This isn't your "diner hot dog," as Manny creates delicious, Mexican-influenced hot dogs, that are unique and delicious. I must add the roasted jalapeņo topping the dog adds a touch of class! Just like my previous visit to Manny's BBW Hot Dawgs in August of last year, I simply LOVED this half-sized hot dog. I certainly gave me the yearning to hit up Manny in a future event, and enjoy another one of "dawgs," but in the full-size version!
Photo: I hold the "dawg" and admire the beauty before I take my first bite. This is a hot dog for all lovers of a delicious, Mexican-stye hot dog. Tijuana meets Lincoln at Manny's BBW Hot Dawgs! Let's go back to late Saturday morning, August 23, 2025 to another day and another hot dog...
Photo: It's late Saturday morning, August 23, 2025 and I'm attending the 2025 edition of the Lincoln Wings and Wheels, an aviation and vintage auto event, held at the Lincoln Regional Airport, located in Lincoln, CA. The event featured a great lineup of food vendors, including Manny's BBW Dawgs, one of the newer pop up restaurants, serving Mexican-influenced hot dogs all over Placer County since 2024. Just in case you're wondering, the motto of the restaurant is "Best bacon wrapped hot dawgs," hence the "BBW" in the name of the restaurant. Airplanes, old cars and hot dogs... what could be better?

Photo: Manny's BBW Dawgs operates on a simple formula, as you make your selection from the menu, place your order at the order window, pay for it, the friendly order taker asks your name, and you'll receive a receipt for your order. When your order, your name will be called and you'll be handed your order at the pick up window by a friendly staff member.

Photo: From the "top" of the menu, I went with a "Manny Dawg," which is the signature offering of the restaurant. The menu describes this fine dog as, "100% beef frank, bacon wrapped, grilled onions/bell peppers, diced tomato, mayo, ketchup, mustard, topped with a whole roasted jalapeņo. How many ways can you say "Mexican style hot dog?" As I placed my order, I asked for "everything" in the line of toppings, but asked the staff to hold the ketchup. No problem, as Manny makes dogs your way! The "dawg" began with a jumbo sized, all-beef frank, most likely around a quarter pound, wrapped with a slice of bacon and grilled to perfection. The large sesame seed bun was sized perfectly to fit the frank, just small enough so both ends of the frank could peek out, let you know it was there, so you could fall in love at the first bite. The dog was placed on the bun, drizzled with mustard and mayonnaise, and covered with diced tomato, along with grilled orange, green and yellow bell peppers slices, along with strings of grilled onion. As a final touch, a roasted jalapeņo chili pepper and a small decorative flag were placed on top of the dog. Oh my! It was love at first bite when I bit into this delicious "Manny Dawg" and the dog returned my love with an amazing burst of flavor to let me know what I was enjoying a quality hot dog, prepared by talented staff. The delicious, bacon wrapped frank worked great with the fresh bun, the mustard and mayo, along with the veggie toppings to make a delicious hot dog, somewhat similar to the hundreds of hot dogs that I've enjoyed during my many trips to Mexico. This isn't your "diner hot dog," as Manny creates delicious, Mexican-influenced hot dogs, that are unique and delicious. I must add the roasted jalapeņo topping the dog adds a touch of class! I devoured every bite of this dog and I loved every bite!
