Sorry for the bite. Couldn’t wait.
I like seeing some of the shenanigans people get up to with hot dogs,
IDK why it seems like a kind of food where people tend to just stick to the basics a lot more than with other similar foods like burgers and pizzas.
So far the fanciest I’ve gotten with it is wrapping the sausage with a strip of bacon, lining the bun with ketchup and a little relish, and then topping it with a line of ketchup.
I’ve thought about experimenting more but I feel like I need more space in the bun and for the hun to be sturdier for it to hold anything more than that.
The Chicago-style dog changed my life. For a while on the East Coast I would only have ketchup or maybe ketchup and mustard with a hot dog.
Then I tried a Chicago-style dog and I never looked back:
- poppy seed bun, steamed
- All beef dog
- yellow mustard
- pickle relish
- chopped white onion
- tomato slice
- dill pickle spear
- pickled sport peppers
- celery salt
Jesus Christ how do you even get all that in the bun‽ Especially the tomato slice!
If you look behind the Bougie dog, there’s a very respectable Chicago Dog. Love them too.
I’m not sure how close you are to a Dog Haus restaurant, but they got dope hot dogs there. I haven’t been since I moved from AZ, but there is supposed to be one opening on in VA soon.
Check out some pics on their website. https://doghaus.com/menu/haus-dogs/
Sorry for the bite. Couldn’t wait.
Most of my food photos end up half eaten
Shockingly? 🙃
Thought it was gonna suck TBH. Couldn’t believe how well it worked.
Honestly, I didn’t like anything you said about it. I’m also surprised it was good. It’s always good to get out of the comfort zone for this reason.
Sounded great until it got to the chips
I’m good with it, but maybe crispy onions like the kind you put on green bean casserole.
Crispy jalapenos are an option too. They would fit two parts of this recipe.
It was a recommendation from the server and the guy next to me at the bar. Probably wouldn’t have ordered it had they not been so keen on it. The chips work for me, but I have been known to stuff a few chips in a bland, one-texture sandwich.
Oh I love chips on a sandwich! I don’t care much for adding flavor but I really enjoy the crispy texture you don’t normally get
That sounds really good. It makes me miss Hot Doug’s
Don’t the chips kinda mute the tang if the sauerkraut?
Maybe…a little…?
I’ve always enjoyed chips as a quasi palate cleanser for dishes that run fatty and have sauerkraut. Which is a fairly small range of foods. But it’s because the flatness of the potatoes, the single note saltiness, and the relatively lower fat levels do a good job of refreshing the palate alongside something else pickled and/or a beverage.
But it seems like that would make this dog have less “oomph” to the taste buds. That’s one of the great things about kraut on a wiener, how bold it is. It makes a great texture and taste contrast with the usual dogs out there.
It’s an interesting choice, but not one I would have made because of that.
I think if I did this, I’d have to do a side by side with and without the chips. The difference isn’t going to be massive, but it could be enough to shift the enjoyment level.
Now, chips on a dog is something I’ve done before. Plenty of times, actually. That crunch, and the mild flavor do indeed help cut through some flavors. But, typically, that’s going to be most desirable with things like simple condiments and maybe a bit of relish.
You know, a bit of mustard and/or ketchup is a good basic dog. You then add a little something extra to kick it up a notch without killing the simplicity of it. Some crumbled chips, even if it’s a pile on the plate and you dip into it (which is my preferred way with simple dogs), and it changes things just enough that each of the individual flavors gets separated and then melds on the tongue.
I dunno, maybe I’m just weirdly into hotdogs lol.
Wild guess here- is this Dirty Franks in Columbus?
Sorry no.
