EP021 – Chris & Donnie – RoRo Dogs
This week on the GayPHX Podcast, we’re serving up Phoenix Pride one bun at a time with Donnie and Chris of RoRo Dogs — the fast-casual hot dog shop at the heart of Roosevelt Row.
From locally sourced sausages and artisan buns to wild toppings and vegan-friendly options, RoRo Dogs is redefining comfort food with flair. We talk about their journey from real estate to wieners, the art and culture that shapes Roosevelt Row, the legacy of Phoenix’s LGBTQ+ spaces, and how two guys living above their 300-square-foot shop are building something bigger than hot dogs: community.
Along the way, you’ll hear about media firsts, hidden gay history, murals, “Wiener Wednesday,” and why visibility matters when running a queer-owned business in Phoenix.
So grab a bun, pile on the toppings, and join us as we welcome Donnie and Chris to the rainbow-tinted microphone.
