In a spot known for exotic meats like reindeer and pheasant, it can come as a shock that Biker Jim's also grills an award-winning vegan hot dog. In addition to the spicy, herby vegan dog, there are some dairy-free sides, including baked beans, charred tahini cauliflower, housemade fries and a mixed green salad.

Colorado Rockies

Coors Field has a decent amount of vegetarian and vegan items throughout the park. For this Rockies season, baseball fans can now enjoy a grilled vegetable platter with artichokes, asparagus, mini-peppers, carrots and green chile hummus. But you're here for a ballpark frank, so head for the concessions in sections 134 and 323 for plant-based dogs.

Dog Haus serves up an entire plant-based menu with hot dogs and Impossible meatless burgers.

Complete the order with waffle fries, mac and cheese and a creamy shake.

The soy veggie dog at Mustard's Last Stand took home the top 5 vegan dog award by PETA.

Veg options are also available at Steve's Denver International Airport outpost, as well.
