If you stop by My Awesome Dogs at 13901 Smokey Point Blvd., you’ll find out that Marysville tastes like cream cheese, Sriracha and jalapeños.

Melody Patrick opened My Awesome Dogs last September, and because she specializes in offering regionally authentic hot dogs — including Chicago-style dogs with poppyseed buns, neon relish, onions, dill pickle spears, tomatoes, peppers and celery salt — she found herself fielding several requests for Seattle-style dogs, with cream cheese bacon and grilled onions.

“I didn’t have any because this is Marysville, not Seattle, but it inspired me,” said Patrick, who debuted the Marysville-style dog on her menu two weeks ago.

Patrick asked her customers what should go on a Marysville dog, and the first ingredient they all agreed upon was cream cheese, which mystifies even her, “since you can hardly taste it,” but its spices proved just as popular, regardless of her customers’ ethnicity.

“Marysville needs to be a little spicy, I think,” Patrick said. “Whether they’re Hispanic or not, a lot of my customers like jalapeños, so that seemed like a good fit.”

She added: “As for the Sriracha, I can tailor that to make it as mild or as hot as they want.”

Patrick cited the increasing demand for the Marysville dog, which sold two on its first day and eight the second.

“As they get to know it’s available, I predict it’ll become one of our most-popular dogs,” said Patrick, who plans on serving a Virginia-style dog next month, to cater to her many Virginia customers, who request chili, onions and cole slaw on their dogs. “We’ve got folks from the military and all sorts of other places, so we should have dogs that cater to them.”
