"In just a few short years, J Dawgs has gained legendary status with a cult-like following among Utah County's hot-dog connoisseurs and regular folks alike.
What's the secret of our success? Part of it comes from our history as the brainchild of a creative, broke, and somewhat directionless BYU student.
The rest of our success comes from serving one of the tastiest and highest-quality hot dogs you'll ever experience. You can actually see the difference in our photos, with the trademarked crisscross scoring of each dawg.
But wait'll you taste the difference. J dawgs are the perfect combination of100% beef dogs, the best grill money can buy, freshly-baked buns, and our Special Sauce that oozes into the cracks and crevasses of the scoring. Yeah, the sauce is when the magic happens.
Add condiments, kettle chips, and a soda, and, dare we say, you'll be very glad you came." (

"Let's hop in our DeLorean and take a trip back to 2004. Jayson, known as "J," is a BYU student with no car, no girlfriend, no money, and no post-school career prospects. One day, after passing a 12'×12', abandoned red shack covered with concert posters, J thinks, "That'd be a great spot for a hot dog stand."
A few months later, J pawns his prized Fender Telecaster and launches his dream. He takes trips to home-repair stores and carries back supplies on the city bus. He discovers which dawg is most delicious by hosting taste-testing parties. He continues to attend classes in the morning, mow lawns for BYU grounds crew in the afternoon, and fix up the shack at night.
On, June 9, 2004, J Dawgs opens its doors, hitting the ground running. Since then, much has changed, but more has stayed the same. J Dawgs outgrew the little red shack and opened a bigger location. While the shack is fondly missed, it's great to offer indoor seating and bathrooms. You no longer see J working all by himself, but you still get the same legendary dawgs and the same wonderful service — probably better, actually — from his terrific employees. And in case you were worried about him, J finally found a car, a girlfriend, some money, and a pretty good career." (
