Chihuahua Hotdogs is a brand of hotdogs featured in the HD Universe.
Description[]
The company was founded in 1982, according to one of their slogans. The brand operates both mobile food carts and physical locations as seen in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online. Their logo features a dog (presumably a chihuahua) fashioned as a sausage sandwiched between two hotdog buns.
There are two variants of food carts: one extensively features Chihuahua Hotdogs' logos, slogans and brandname, which may indicate the cart's equipment are franchised by Chihuahua Hotdogs, and the second merely features a small Chihuahua Hotdogs sticker. It can be assumed that the hotdogs the player purchase from these vendors are Chihuahua Hotdogs.
Their slogans include "You can't beat our meat" (same as R. S. & L. Bows Family Butchers) and "Keeping it regular since '82". "You can't beat our meat" is a play on the term "beat your meat," which is slang for masturbation; an example of Rockstar's sexual humour.
Grand Theft Auto IV and Chinatown Wars[]
In Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Chihuahua Hotdogs vendors can be found through the entire city of Liberty City, one of then, right in front of the Broker Safehouse. They all can be interacted by the player, who can order a hotdog for $5. Eating a hotdog restores the player's health.
They are one of the official sponsors of the CNT program I'm Rich.
Grand Theft Auto V and Online[]
In Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online, Chihuahua Hotdogs vendors can be found at the Pleasure Pier in Del Perro Beach, at the Cine Areola in Vinewood, at the Jetsam Terminal Headquarters building in Terminal, and in Sandy Shores, but unlike GTA IV, they are no longer interactive.
There are two Chihuahua Hotdogs physical locations in Los Santos, the first one located in Pillbox Hill, and the other one in Del Perro.
Influence[]
The brand may be based on deli meat supplier Marathon Enterprises, Inc., which offers its products under the popular Sabrett brand name in hot dog food carts across multiple United States metropolitan cities.
Location Influences[]
- In Grand Theft Auto V, the Pillbox Hill location appears to be based on 728 S Olive St in Los Angeles.
