Chicago Kid. Denver Legend.
Billy's started with a kid in Chicago, a Thanksgiving tradition, and an obsession with the perfect hot dog. That obsession never quit — and Denver is better for it.
Billy's Gourmet Hot Dogs | Our Story
A Chicago Thanksgiving Tradition
Every Thanksgiving, young Bill Feid and his dad skipped the turkey and headed to Chicago for hot dogs — a ritual that planted a lifelong obsession.
The Hot Dog Hustler
Bill became a legend at school for one reason: acquiring extra lunch tickets on hot dog day. They still tell that story at family reunions — because the passion was always real.
Landing on Larimer Street
Bill rerouted business trips to chase great dogs across every city. Eventually he stopped searching and started cooking — opening Billy's on Larimer Street in Denver's RiNo.
Beyond the Bun
Vienna Beef is the foundation — but Wagyu Kobe dogs, plant-based Not Dogs, and Famous Fries (Blue Cheese, Gaelic, Pesto) mean there's genuinely something for everyone.
Denver's Dog, Gone National
From one block in RiNo to Ball Arena, food trucks, and locations coast to coast. Covered by Eater Denver, 5280, and Westword. Still a neighborhood spot at heart.
