The Blacktop Grill, which would often be parked outside of breweries and taprooms, has opened its first brick-and-mortar restaurant at 8300 N. Thornydale Rd., Suite 120.
Before the epic hot dogs moved into the location, along with the Pesto Chicken Sandwiches and baked goods by La Estrella Bakery, the spot previously housed Mama’s Hawaiian Bar-B-Cue.
If you’ve never ordered anything from the food truck, which has been “breaking diets since 2014,” it’s known for serving gigantic, quarter-pound hot dogs and their Elotero Dog totally lives up to the hype.
It’s topped with fire-roasted corn, that’s been tossed in a house-made chipotle lime sauce, queso cotija, and a garlic sriracha spice.
Triplets.
We hope you have a safe holiday weekend.

The Blacktop Grill is located at 8300 N. Thornydale Rd., Suite 120. For more information, call (520) 261-2675 or visit theblacktopgrill.com.

More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.
