Every Style of Hot Dog We Could Find Across the US

- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Hot dogs are about as American as apple pie. It's not uncommon for different states to offer their unique spins on classic American cuisine, and the hot dog industry is no exception. While some stands and shops take inspiration from other popular local cuisines for their toppings (like adding coleslaw or fish sticks to their classic franks and buns), others insist on layering, excluding, or adding ingredients to ensure their dogs remain a distinct staple to their regional style.

I've seen people post some hotdogs from Brazil or other countries and claim they're superior to US hotdogs. But, they don't realize how large the United States is and how many different varieties of hot dogs and condiments we have. Thanks for putting it in perspective with just a FRACTION of all the hotdogs in the USA.
Been to Brazil and they do the same hun thing as the Puka Dog
I don’t think you realize how big Brazil is lol. It’s larger than the contiguous US
@@ryanf1425 But you're correct. contiguous Brazil is bigger.. #1 Russia, Canada, USA, China, Brazil
@@earth9544 yeah, but he’s American so they don’t know about other places 🤷♂️
@@ryanf1425 I never went to Brazil but I know Peru and Colombia. They couldn't compete with our hot dogs but have awesome food.
Today I learned that apparently Greek immigrants are hot dog experts. There's like three or four people featured here that made the first of various regional dogs. I, an Italian-American, find more reasons to respect Greece and its people as the days go by. :D
I think this is a side-effect of many diners in the north east being owned by Greek immigrants. If you're running a diner a good way to draw customers is to innovate in some way with the food you're serving.
You know they colonized southern Italy before Rome was anything more than a small city?
Here in Alabama there is a popular Hotdog chain called "Sneaky Pete’s" it was founded in 1966 by a good friend of mine by the name of Pete Graphos, Who is also Greek
Cheeseburger cheeseburger cheeseburger...
On the other hand it was also a Greek immigrant who invented Pizza Hawaii...
LA street hot dogs have a special place in my heart, every single concert or event I've been to in LA, you bet a street vendor will be waiting outside grilling some tasty dogs, the caramelized onions are the best part!
There are two rules of thumb when it comes to street dogs:
1. The less official the stand is, the better the food is. If that sweet old Mexican lady is cooking out of a laundry cart and keeps her ketchup and mustard in rinsed-out Suavitel containers, the dogs are gonna be fire. They'll also be super generous with the portions and give you a sausage wrapped in 4 bacon strips topped with a pound of onion for like $6.
2. The more indistuingishable each ingredient is, the tastier the hot dog will be. You don't want your street dog to look like the photo at Costco food courts. All the ingredients need to mix and make the dog look like garbage in order to maximize the flavor per bite.
Being from mid Michigan a Detroit coney dog is great but you can make it at home easily with a can of coney sauce. The Flint coney blows it away though.
I agree with you, but I prefer a Jackson coney. They are basically the exact same thing. I just love the original! Virginia Coney Island in Jackson opened in 1914 by the Todoroff family. Sooo this video actually gives bad info too!
@@Weeble_Wobble I'll have to give them a try. I haven't been to Jackson in years.

2 fake Texas dogs but no actual Texas chili dog smh
@@RonDonProductions How is the Texas chili dog different from other chili dogs? I'm legitimately curious.
@@kennethcraig9228 TBH not much, the chili is just meat based and they add cheese and onion. I'm just a little salty over not being included while 2 others using the name are included lol
Slaw dogs are not a just North Carolina thing.
@@exploderish a traditional "Carolina Style" dog is: Chili, Slaw, Mustard and Onions. Not always that bright red weiner, I've never seen one of those outside a restaurant pushing the specific brand. Most Carolina style dogs are Nathan's or Sabrettes.
WHY DO ALL CORN DOGS LOOK ALIKE?
BECAUSE THEY'RE IN BREAD!
arent most hotdogs technically “in bread” i mean…. the buns? lol
LMAO THATS HILARIOUS! NOW STFU AND GIVE ME HEAD!

Super cool episode, I had no idea what other states are doing with their dogs but that was very cool. Your channel is awesome.
You missed two of the best:
1. Heid's of Liverpool (Syracuse, NY). A hotdog so good, it is only topped with mustard. It's the same dog served at the HOF game in Cooperstown that announcers have said is the best they've ever had.
2. The Michigan... from Plattsburgh, NY. Made with Glazier's Red Hots.
Thought for sure the Michigan would be on there definitely a staple up here
That's weird that Michigan has a Coney dog and NY has a Michigan dog.
man, i loved this episode. Seeing different states takes on foods was one of my favorite things to watch as a kid on food network. This brought me right back.
This is like the Food network on UA-cam. Just found this channel today and have been binge watching for a couple hours lol 😂
It really makes me proud to be American. Look at how dope we are.
Lots of variety all over the US. I love it!

I'm from NC, slaw dogs are good, the sweetness of the slaw balanced out the spiciness of the chili. There's also a place called Paul's Place in Rocky Point that made their own relish and sold it in the grocery store....we used to put that on hot dogs all the time, with tater chips and a Cheerwine. 😋😊
I would like to try ALL of them. But being from the Midwest the Chicago Dog is a favorite of mine as is the Cozy Dog corn dog from Cozy Dog in Springfield IL who also claims to be the original inventor. Also, one of the last places to serve foot long dogs is a little stand known as Carls in Brentwood Mo. I'm 74 and have been stopping by Carls for a footlong or two and a cold, frosty schooner of IBC root beer since I was 13. Closest thing to heaven without having to die first.
Chicago style dogs is my favorite. Minus the peppers.
With New York being the worst.
Ghetto Dogg- Hot dog on sliced bread
I was just thinking about those! Dill Ryebread with spicy mustard, onions and sweet relish 😋
Absolutely! Also eaten in suburbs where Ebony residents reside 😆 🤣
Always with the wheat bread cuz you get that with W.I.C 😅
That is actually called An Australian. That is how them ozzies eat em down under
Growing up, that was how we ate hot dogs. We used a slice of bread instead of a bun.
Endless possibilities with this series; Delicatessens across the US, regional pizza styles, hamburger favorites, ice cream shops... I could go on, but that's a fun little list off the top of my head. This is the first time I've seen this channel, but I dig it!
Great stuff!! Yeah i like this channel too.
Tacos…
I think its worth mentioning Flint Mi has its own version of the Coney, it has a "dry" beef coney sauce instead of Detroits chili style. It also has to be a Koegel brand hot dog of course.
Totally was not expecting Hot dog Charlie's to be on here that was totally awesome! Makes me miss NY a bit.
Now I want to take a road trip across America just to try all of these
Look up chilean completos.

As a North Carolinian, our dogs are staples here. But nothing can compete to a coney, (or the skyline dog, but I’ve always still heard them referred to as coneys by my mom who was raised there) all the way with Skyline Chili and Tabasco on top during a cold day. I was 8 when I had my first ever coney in Cincinnati. It was cold as hell outside, and I put Tabasco on top of those chili cheese and onions (I hated onions as a kid but this converted me) and I took a bite of my first ever real deal dog and fell in love. I’m 32 now and have chased that taste ever since. Coneys will always have a place in my heart.
Never heard anyone say “skyline dog” before. In Cinci we say “cheese coney”
THIS GUY GETS It!
They added habanero cheese, so good
I always knew of the famous hot dogs in Seattle as Seattle Dogs, so I was initially bummed to see something else made the list, Bagel Dogs. That is, until I saw how they were made with yummy cream cheese goodness, and at that point I realized they just went by another name I hadn't yet heard about. Sooo good! Really, this whole list makes me want to do a road trip around the states!
Those Sonoran Dogs look amazing.
THEY ARE!! And they left some things out,.like how the special ?*pillowy*.*soft*, split-top,.pocket-like buns are slightly gilled with a *touch( of butter*..so tastey, the buns on most American style hot dogs are *usually* the most bland and boring part. NOT with these! (In a pinch, a THICK slice of "Texas Toast" slightly toasted on the outside with kiss of butter will do. Almost fooled me once.)
The green salsa is actually more like a jalapeño puree, I leave it off.
There are tiny diced fresh tomatoes and onions on top (and the grilled onions go in the bottom of the buns, before the dog goes on top of it.
The pinto beans are traditionally lose WHOLE beans. NOT frijoes refritos ("refried beans") if you prefer it.
The cheese is a mild kind of slightly dry crumbled Mexkcan cheese ofter put Tacos Dorados.
There is a little slow Mustard too. But just a *little bit*, not overwhelmingly.
I can't remember if the white stuff on the top is either mild Mex̌can Mayo (subtle, not like most American mayonnaise...or maybe even Mexican "crema" - a thin kinda pourable/squeezable Mexican version of Sour Cream..
Or something else entirely
..but it is GOOD
I just moved to Tucson and they are so good I found this video…
A place in my town offers dogs with bacon sauce, which is mostly crumbled cooked down bacon mixed in a slightly sweet and tangy sauce so it’s like a chili consistency. It’s amazing.
YUMM. ID LOVE TO GIVE YOU GAPE AFTER YOU EAT TWO OF THOSE
where might I find this place, good sir?
Sounds like the dressing on midwestern spinach salad, what town are you in?
Sounds similar to a sonaran style hots which are bacon wrapped
as a Maine native, I am beyond excited to see red hot dogs make the list.
And Humpty Dumpty chips (even though they're a Canadian company now)
The Danes have the same love for the red!

The restaurant they showed was Simones in Lewiston. Best hot dog in Maine.
I’m a little disturbed by them calling it a red snapper instead of a red hot.
Cincinnati has a forgotten hot dog that used to be served at Reds games. The Big Red Smokie, was a skinless smoked sausage made by local meat processor Khans. They were beautiful, a perfect snap with a hickory smoke flavor which is great with this spicy mustard they have there.
can vouch for Cincinnati style coneys, Skyline is a potentially acquired taste for some but if you're one who usually leans towards heat/spicy foods, their habanero cheese is absolutely game changing
I've lived in the Cleveland area my whole life and I go down to Columbus/Cincinnati about 4 times a year on average. In the last year I finally had my very first order of Skyline conies. They did not disappoint. They're small too. I could've had like 4 of those things
My grandpa lives 45 minutes north of Spokane, Washington, but he grew up in Cincinnati and gets Skyline cans from Amazon delivered to his house cause he loves it so much.
I LOVE New England style hot dog rolls. They always feel less bready and fresher/softer than side split.
for almost 40 years I thought that's just how hot dog buns were everywhere. I still can't fathom why you'd do it any other way. also, grill and butter them and they're an awesome way to serve tuna salad (or chicken salad, etc) and fried clam strips.
I can tell he really gets into the scene. Danger dogs are the TRUE name here in LA.
Or the Downtown LA hot dogs
Hot Dog Charlie’s. That b/w photo is genius. Look at the guys in the back. So very classic.
As an upstate New Yorker I was pleasantly shocked you included Hot Dog Charlie’s. Thank you!

This style of narration just sounds robotic, in order to be as easy to undestand as possible.
This is a great story. We ran a Top Dog cart in DFW for years and brought in different hot dogs and buns from around the country. By far, the Chicago style was the most popular followed by a Texas chili dog. We only did catering jobs and were booked solid from Memorial Day through football season. We traveled to many different spots and a few of our favorites were the Skyline, Maxwell Polish, the Sonoran and the Detroit Coney. If you’re ever in Denver, a trip to Biker Jim’s is a treat as is Pink’s in LA. The ripper in NJ is also a great dog but the Italian served at Jimmy Buff’s was too much for us.
Chicago style and Maxwell Street Polish are the best!
That’s cuz chicago does it right. The only thing the city agrees on.
Chicago is one of the best due to how different it tastes. like 80% dogs listed here are nearly chili dogs.
No wonder Portillo's is kicking ass there now.
DFW?
Coming from Detroit I know first hand the side by side Coney Island restaurants American and Lafayette. For the Dog it's American. For the Chili it's Lafayette. Slight differences but to the experienced palette a distinguishable one. Since Chili is the classic topping for these Detroit landmarks for me I give the edge to Lafayette. I generally eat the first one there then make way nextdoor for a second one at American. Then it's back to Lafayette for a third if I'm still not full. I've done it many times in my 71 years. As a boy my father and I always stopped by after attending a Detroit Tigers Baseball game. Those were the days!
I genuinely didn't think the Georgia Scramble Dog was gonna make the video! I am pleasantly surprised! 😁🥰
You forgot that Chicago has a second style of hotdogs called the Maxwell street polish. A Vienna beef polish grilled on the flattop served with caramelized onions, sauerkraut, and mustard on a steamed bun
Chicago dogs are definitely my favorite. Spending most of my time in Texas, there are mostly chili dogs but you can get a rare good Chicago dog from certain places. First time I went to Chicago, I immediately had to get one and it was amazing. A Chicago dog from Navy Pier is phenomenal
Look up Chicago Best and type hot dogs
Its like a big stupid salad. Worst hot dog ever.

Don't be dissing on Chicago dogs, unless you like ketchup bottles shoved up your kiester.

The oldest Franks, originating from the world, have a history as travelers, much like the Vikings. During times of famine, salted and smoked meats have been a staple in every war, easily carried over the shoulder across farms, ranges, mountains, and woods. These preserved meats were present even when humanity discovered the Earth was not flat. They were made from an array of fermented fruits, vegetables, meats from lamb, goat, beef, pork, poultry, fish, and rice, as well as grains, herbs, beans, spices, whale, potato, and even insects and tree bark. Mustard and sauerkraut are among the oldest condiments served on flatbread.
Dirty water hot dogs ARE an acquired taste. But that's part of the appeal of a genuine New York City street cart hot dog experience. 😊 I still remember having them by the Central Park Zoo in the Seventies and Eighties.

Son of the sunny South here! Growing up in the 1970s, my mammy and pappy taught me that a hotdog ought to have mustard, chili and onions! NO ketchup! Today's Southerons - yes, that is a word - tend to embrace ketchup on their hotdog. Of all the things in our complicated and divisive history, I wish the South had remained firmly in the no ketchup column. Best wishes and a big thank you to our Northern neighbors in New York and Chicago who embrace other, more exotic ingredients, but still remain firmly committed to no ketchup!
Amen
"Complicated and divisive history" is a hell of a phrase, lol.
And I say that as a southerner.
I lived in Atlanta GA for 20 years and I had never even heard of The Georgia Scrambled Dog until after I moved away.
A Sabrett’s dog with spicy mustard and sauerkraut is a quintessential requirement of any visit to NYC.

My all-time favorite is the Maine red hot dog on a (pan fried) flat sided bun with some homemade Zucchini relish (a Maine recipe). Every time I go to Maine, I eat lots of Red hot dogs and usually bring a package of red-hot dogs back home in Las Vegas.
My favorite American hotdog is the often ignored West Virginia dog. It is similar to the Carolina dog with Chili, Coleslaw AND chopped onion. Other toppings (ie: ketchup, relish, mustard, cheese, mayo, etc.) Are optional.
By far my favorite as well!
In northern North Carolina a hot dog ordered "All the way" has, in this order, mustard, chopped onion, chili and Cole slaw (mayonnaise based Cole slaw not the vinegar slaw we eat on pulled pork sandwiches). Delicious!

@@gavincrockett9521 I knew it never would because WV is more obscure and Carolina (and Cincinnati) is more famous. The WV dog is like a hybrid between those 2 other dogs.

I grew up in South Carolina, and as far back as I can remember my parents would make Carolina Dogs. So these are a must for a real Carolina dog, but I will say that the pink wiener is totally optional. It must have a nice chili with no beans, a coleslaw that can be creamy, but must have some vinegar in it, a nice yellow mustard and some chopped sweet Vidalia onions. I love almost all hotdogs, but the Carolina Dog in my opinion, when made right, is absolutely the best. There is also a Carolina burger that I grew up on as well that has the exact same ingredients, but obviously with a Cheeseburger or regular burger and instead of a hotdog. Wendy's actually sold a Carolina Burger for a limited time, and was pretty good, but the coleslaw needed more vinegar.
During the Great Depression, Chicago style dogs where the only way many people could get their vegetables. The Red Snapper is called Saveloy in England.
Sometimes I like to fix hot dogs for dinner, I'll make several in different styles. Chicago Style is my favorite. FIrst had it at "Franks" in the mall food court.

That first shot of Rhode Island you show is from my hometown, just up the street from where I live, Main Street in West Warwick. I love when my little state and even smaller town gets noticed and gets a little love. My current gf actually used to live on the street behind that D'Angelo lol 😆. It's definitely not Providence by the way, that's about 12 miles to the north, West Warwick is in a different county all together than Providence, which is the Capitol.
I had that bagel dog when I was in seattle! I didn't even realize I was getting a special hot dog. It's cool to actually find this stuff IRL without specifically looking for it and have it confirmed here
So like at least 3 of these include 'chili' ground meat sauce as a topping? In South Africa, 'chili dog' will almost always mean that the hotdog has a chili pepper in it or on it (as a topping or condiment)
As someone who now lives in Texas, man do I miss the Coneys of Michigan. While the Detroit Coney is pretty popular, there's also a Flint version which has a "dry" chili sauce which nixes the tomato sauce in favor of just stewing the beef in aromatics.

In upstate ny, just below the Canadian boarder, we have a local specialty called "michigans". I don't really know why they are called that. It's basically a meat sauce served over hotdogs, particularly with onions and mustard. There is no singular recipe or way that the sauce is made, so everyone has their own recipes ranging from spicy to sweet.
The recipe I use is
-3 tsp chili powder
-3 tsp cayenne powder
-1&1/2 tsp cumin
-1 tsp black pepper
-1/4 cup of Frank's red hot sauce
-2 tsp mixed onions
-1 15oz can of tomato juice
-2lbs of ground beef.
Brown the meat, then mix in the ingredients.
Proud Toledoan here. Tony Packos is legit the best dog I've ever had. Skyline is amazing, but the hungarian spices and flavors of Tony Packos is beyond comparison IMO. I might be biased, but if you ever go through Toledo, stop and get one of their hungarian hot dogs. Jamie Farr wasn't kidding, it's that good - especially the chili.
Cincinnati fellow here. The original "Cincinnati Chili" was a small restaurant called Empress Chili where the future owners of Skyline Chili and Camp Washington Chili both worked out of this restaurant at one time or another. Both restaurants do a variation of Empress Chili recipe. One more thing, I used to work at Skyline Chili as a teenager, and chocolate is used in the recipe, it's literally printed on the ingredients recipe sticker thats slapped onto the pre-made chili mix ingredient bag.
Man I miss me some Cincinnati Chili. I was just telling my boss about it yesterday.
and do not forget the second oldest Dixie Chili in Newport Ky opened in 1929 ..my personal favorite...
This is false. Chocolate has never been used in Skyline chili. I'm allergic to it and enjoy eating there. That myth came about when someone posted a copycat recipe in the Cincinnati Enquirer in the 70s-80s claiming to have cracked the code. They thought they discovered chocolate was giving it it's color, but were mistaken. That didn't stop every mother and grandmother from copying it down and putting it in their recipe box. So, now if you eat homemade Cincinnati chili from grandma's "secret recipe" you're really eating a failed copycat recipe from 40-50 years ago. It's why homemade tastes nothing like Skyline.
the secret ingredient is high fructose corn syrup lol
@@weiwu1442 There's no sweetener whatsoever in Cincinnati chili.

There's one that you didn't mention. It's more popular than anyone will admit. It's the exploded down the side microwave dog wrapped in a slice of bread.
Cincinnati Chili dogs are divine. Also, a Daytona Beach food truck chili dog. I used to poop in the ocean after one of those bad bays. Nothing like surfing with a load in you shorts.

@@kristiskinner8542 To each their own, that's your opinion. :P
@@kristiskinner8542 yeah if you have the taste buds of a 5 year old
@@kristiskinner8542 Are you kidding? Double up on the onions.
@@kristiskinner8542 Obviously for you, but I can't imagine a world without onions.
Carolina Dogs are amazing. Meaty chili, cheese, and a cool slaw all work so well together. Throw some pickled jalapenos into the mix to spice things up. The bagel dogs might be the best thing to ever come from Seattle. I've never had a Reuben Dog, but it's my favourite sandwich, so I imagine it'd be really good
Really surprised you included alaska in this. Felt good and yes those reindeer dogs are good asf
I grew up in southeastern Indiana. Skyline or Gold Star chili dogs are delicious. We even make our own at home with canned beanless chili, cinnamon, and other spices. You put mustard in the bun, add the hot dog, and top it with the chili and shredded cheddar cheese. I also like adding diced onion to mine.
As a person who has lived in Seattle my whole life. The Seattle Dog was new to me about 20 years ago, in the early 2000’s. Ate one on our way into a Mariner’s game. But have since seen them as a staple after a night out in downtown Seattle!! The true form is in a bagel style bread with cream cheese. But a Kaiser roll is also except-able
Acceptable, but that sounds good
i'd give it a try with flavored cream cheese
Westlake Park has a stand called "Dog in the Park" where my co-workers and I go for lunch once in a while :)
I love Chicago dogs. I will definitely try the Serano dogs, the Ruben dog, the fish cake dog, and a few others. One of my favorites that I had in Augusta Georgia there is the Mexican Perro. Fried hotdog with queso sauce, chorizo, jalapeños, onions, bacon, hot sauce, and French fries
Grew up around Paterson eating Texas Weiner's, yes the sauce is very good but the reason many of us like them so much is how they're cooked in oil. It's basically a fried hot dog, you can see in the video it gets that unique crinkly texture and has an extra snap when you bite into it, they're fantastic.
The toledo packos became very famous from an episode of Mash Jaime Farr (Klinger ) mentioned the famous establishment as he claimed was the best hotdog in the world and ordered some to be sent to Korea It's a great episode
I've had my own variation of a chili dog that probably shows its roots pretty strongly: a grilled toploader bun, either a Syracuse coney (white hot dog!) or an all-beef hot dog, a chili sauce, Tabasco and fine-shredded Cheddar.
ooooo that sounds so good, im from Tucson and make a variation of the Sonoran Dog
Yummy 😋
Sounds pretty good . But pls explain to me what a white hot dog is ?
@@eegee2442 Literally that. It's a hot dog that is white.
If you like the Hofmann white hot, try a Zweigel's White hot (Rochester). Very similar, but a little different. Both excellent.
Nice to see Detroit got such an early mention! I have eaten at both coney islands and they are both awesome! However the rubin dog sounds good!
Grew up with Chicago Dogs. Having everything put on it is called "dragging the dog through the garden"
Never heard them called ”Danger Dogs” before but you can find them all over San Diego county as well. A lot of the carts feature home made tamale and elote as well.
The crazy thing about this list is, there are still even more regional hot dog styles that aren't on it. I grew up in Plattsburgh, NY, and locally we had Michigans, a type of chili dog that could be found in multiple local hot dog restaurants, even being the name sake of one such place. Funny how so many places across America have their own idea of what the best way to serve a Hot Dog is.
Michigans are delicious!! I just commented that they left them out!!! BAD BAD BAD!!!!!!
BRO EVERY UNIQUE HOT DOG IS A CHILI DOG how it it different
@@tobiashaswell9846 The meat sauce on a Michigan isn't really "chili". It looks like chili but it tastes very different. It's made with Molasses, vinegar, tomato paste, and various spices. It tastes more like BBQ than chili.
I love Chicago dogs and i even hate mustard but for those ill eat it lol.
Oh and i highly recommend checking out CozyDog in Springfield IL. Theyre similiar but different from corn dogs. They're worth it. The recipe is just different. Youll probably like them better then corn dogs. I personally do. Theyre a tourist staple in Springfield.
You guys got that wrong. Its Springfield Illinois.....I live in Illinois and go there all of the time and they tell the history. I know the history well because I'm a nerd with this lol.
Was born in Springfield have eaten at Cozy Dog many times..
I'm eternally depressed because Papaya King which made the best hotdogs in the world has closed its doors permanently. Papaya King which used to be on the corner of 86 street and 3rd Avenue and was in business since the 1930''s is gone forever.
I really dig Chicago dogs, I grew up eating dirty water dogs in NYC... But lately I get my hot dog/soda Costco combo and eat it a way you didn't mention... Boston Style (mustard/ketchup/sweet pickle relish)... I make awesome sauerkraut always in the late spring which me and the kids chow down with it on everything... including hotdogs
This was very well produced. How interesting, fun and informative! Thanks.
Varsity chili dogs - certainly not the best in the nation, but if you're from Atlanta, you probably grew up with them.
Yep. Pretty good. Still doesn't beat a real Nathan's Famous though. 😁
We had one in Athens. That's what I think of as a hot dog. I was thinking at the end of the video I've never once heard of a scrambled dog in Ga.
The Seattle cream cheese and grilled onions sounds strange, but from a native, trust me it's super good and you should give it a try -- especially after a few drinks!
Sad to report I also live in this state, but personal opinions aside....yes....it works soooo well. I love them.
It's a top notch combo. Proud that we've got such a solid dog to put on the list.
I be absolutely blasted after the clubs and the Seattle dog just hits different past 2am
I've always wanted to try skyline chilli it looks really good
LMAO "HOT DOG HERO" Hot dogs are my favorites, bless all these heroes
LA Danger Dogs are the best, and anyone who disagrees probably hasn’t tried one. Bacon wrapped, caramelized onions, grilled peppers, mayo and ketchup with a grilled jalapeño on the side... after a night of drinking, omg it’s heaven.
Mayo n ketchup onna hotdog tho🤢🤢🤢 n tht sounds similar to a Sonoran dog
