Conde Nast’s Traveler found the best drunk foods from around the world, with its writers favoring quick, simple eats like fries, fried rice and croquettes. But one of the most universally beloved drunk foods is the hot dog, as it turns out.

“While the hot dog has become an all-hours meal, it’s best served late, really late, as the perfect portable snack (more portable than pizza, that’s for sure) for your walk home,” according to the magazine.
Pizza is another favored drunk food, according to Traveler, and the magazine suggested readers eat deep dish at Pizano’s, which has several locations.
