Jul. 20—Want to try something a little different this weekend? The local dining scene delivers with the debut of a new business and a unique celebration.

It'll be "cold beer, hot food and sweet tunes" when Bakersfield Sonoran Dogs debuts this weekend at The Trap in Oildale.

The new business specializes in a hot dog style popularized by street vendors in Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora, Mexico.

A bacon-wrapped sausage is served in a bolillo-style bun and topped with pinto beans, onions, tomatoes and a variety of condiments.

Bakersfield Sonoran Dogs' menu includes the Bakersfield classic, including the addition of cilantro, cotija cheese and crema to the aforementioned toppings. The eastside dog is topped with queso Oaxaca and jalapeno cilantro lime crema, and the blaze features grilled onions, crispy jalapenos, queso fresco and chipotle habanero crema.

Hot dogs will be served starting at noon until the bar closes on Saturday and Sunday. The Trap is at 1914 N. Chester Ave.

Saturday will also feature live music by That Little Band from 8 p.m. to midnight Saturday and Devyn Desiderio from 4 to 6 p.m. Sunday.
