10 of the South’s Best Road Trip Stops

Dip Dog

Marion, Virginia 

As a fan of highway hyperbole, Wallace makes a point to visit places claiming to be “famous,” “the world’s best,” or “the best in town.” “I think there are a lot of folks I talk to in the hot dog business, especially, who say, ‘Yeah, we’re the best’ in a very tongue-in-cheek kind of way,” Wallace says. For those interested in something a little outside the box (or bun), the Dip Dog Stand along Highway 11 in Marion, Virginia, dips their franks in batter before deep-frying, and then slathers the finished product in yellow mustard (Wallace favors hers with chili, slaw, and onion as well).
