Let’s be frank. Sometimes it feels good to be bad. Today, why not give yourself permission to skip the fresh salad with lean chicken breast on top and opt for an all-American fave — the hot dog.

These 5 restaurants in McKinney made space on their menus for "dawgs" covered in toppings like chili and cheddar cheese, jalapenos, and in one case, jicama slaw. Try one, try them all, load it up or make it plain. Whatever you decide, be sure to enjoy every last delicious bite.

Baker’s Drive-In

1001 S McDonald Street

Located in historic downtown McKinney, Bakers Drive-In has been serving the community since 1954. Some of the favorites include the Texas Cheeseburger, Cheese Fries and Chili Cheese Fries, Chicken Strip Baskets, homemade Fried Pies, malts and shakes. What old-fashioned drive-in would be complete without hot dogs? Try Bakers’ Chili Dog or Corny Dog (both available in regular or jumbo size) or grab some mini corn dogs. Add some tots on the side! The full menu can be found on the Baker’s Drive-In Facebook page.
