“We got called down to the Minnesota state Legislature in St. Paul, the capital,” for a resolution recognizing Pronto Pups’ contribution to the Minnesota State Fair, Karnis said, remembering the occasion.
Customers sit outside The Original Pronto Pup in Rockaway Beach, Ore., April 15, 2022, with one dipping a corn dog into a serving of mustard. Several "pups" are on the menu, including the classic hot dog and variations using ingredients from cheese to zucchini.While Minnesota has embraced the Pronto Pup for generations, the trademarked batter still all comes from Portland.
There’s also another type of fanfare that Pronto Pup enthusiasts can find in Rockaway Beach: the mechanical corn dog. A customer rides the mechanical corn dog at The Original Pronto Pup in Rockaway Beach, Ore., April 15, 2022. The ride was custom-made for the restaurant, just like the fiberglass corn dog on the roof. Diane Langer said the first owner wanted all the creative corn dog touches for the building, which first opened in 2016.The Original Pronto Pup boasts a whole corny experience dedicated to the brainchild of Boyington’s creation from all those years ago.
