Our Story

Hot Dogs on the Row is a gourmet mobile vending kiosk located streetside at Park Valencia in Santana Row (near Maggianos and Starbucks).  Created to offer the South Bay quite simply the best tasting hot dog you will ever taste.  One bite of our hot dogs and you’ll be hooked.  Don’t take it from us, come on down and experience the taste.  Go Shopping on the Row, browse the stores, and pop by our kiosk for a quick gourmet experience on the run. From the choice meats, proprietary smoke infusion, to our special seasonings, we guarantee these will be the most delicious hot dogs you've ever tasted.

Hot Dogs on the Row was started by Greg Imahara, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who often came to Santana Row in a hurry, but was frustrated there were no quick dining solutions.  If only a gourmet dining experience could be taken on the run.  No more waiting for reservations and sitting through lengthy meals.  Although fun to do, there are those times a quick bite is all you want or have time for.

It wasn’t until a chance meeting with a restaurateur friend who brought Greg a hot dog made with only the highest quality meat, special seasonings and a proprietary smoked infusion process that brought out the full flavors that got him thinking.  After one bite he knew this was a product that would literally sell itself. 

After weeks of negotiations with the people at Santana Row, they approved this new type of food venture that not only turns heads, but delivers a great tasting, gourmet experience on the run.
