Don't Forget The Dogs


Grilling this weekend? Don't forget the dogs! This time; however, don't  dress your dogs with the same toppings you did when you were still wearing OshKosh overalls. A hot dog can have strong flavors just as well as any burger can.
A well-made hot dog, with fresh ingredients on top will surprise your palate and will have you even eating a couple servings of veggies this weekend. 
The Chicagoan                       Chopped onion + sliced tomato + yellow mustard + sweet relish + dill pickle spear +    sport        peppers + dash of celery salt

 The Olympian
 Spinach sautéed with chopped garlic in olive oil + a brushing of Greek yogurt + a squeeze of lemon


 The Mexicali
 Chopped onion + sliced tomato + mayonnaise + yellow mustard + ketchup + chopped thick cut bacon + jalapeño rings

 The Sonoran
 Avocado slices +  + chopped tomatoes + strip of crisp bacon + chopped onion + canned pinto beans 

 Add some garlic seasoned fries, and your good to go.
 Do not overcook your dog, your goal is to heat the hot dog just enough. To not have your hodogs cold in the center, grill them when they become room temperature. Grill over hot, direct heat until they're just a little charred for flavor, be sure to toast the buns—15 to 30 seconds on each side over direct heat.
