The results are in.
In one of the most hotly contested, uh, contests in Philly history, the winner of the Phillies’ Signature Hot Dog competition has been announced.
The winning dog is the South Philly Hot Dog, which is an all-beef wiener topped with spicy roasted red peppers, sharp provolone and broccoli rabe.
Fans voted for their top dog at phillies.com and at Citizen’s Bank Park during the two exhibition games leading up to the start of the season. Voting ended on Sunday.
The runner up was the Summer Hot Dog, an all-beef dog, topped with cucumbers, pickled onion salsa and rancho pepper sauce on a pretzel roll. The Olde Philadelphia Dog, which is topped with Amish pepper hash, dill pickle and yellow mustard on a poppy seed roll, came in third.
The South Philly Hot Dog will be served all around Citizen’s Bank Park for $5.75 starting on April 12, the Phillies home opener.
