The BEST Hot Dog Toppings?
Happy Memorial Day, everyone!
Along with what seems like 93.24% of the American population, we’re grilling dinner tonight. We aren’t having a lot of variety, though. Hot dogs are on tap for the Todd Family Memorial Day Extravaganza (that has already included cleaning the Living Room, sorting the garage, and making a trip to the grocery to buy milk. I know, I know. You’re jealous).
I’m looking to spruce these hot dogs up a little bit. So I have a couple of questions:
- What are your favorite hot dog toppings? As in, you won’t eat the hot dog unless it has these toppings on them?
- What’s the craziest hot dog topping you’ve ever tried on your grilled franks? Maybe you haven’t tried any crazy toppings but you’ve heard of them. That’s OK, too.
I need your help, people! Don’t let the Todd Family Memorial Day Extravaganza suffer from boring ol’ hot dogs in 2012! You can save our franks!

Try a West Virginia dog.
WV Hot Dog Sauce(this is important), onions, cole slaw, mustard.
Short name is Slaw Dog.
Here’s the conversation from facebook. Posting it here for posterity and such.
Heather Armstrong Hoover I am partial to sauerkraut. However, I also like fresh, chopped jalepenos, cilantro and spicy mustard (to be clear, not on the same dog:)

Matt Todd Liz Todd – I’m thinking we should experiment with this. When’s the McCarty reunion? Are you guys going?

Matt Todd Thanks for the brilliant suggestions, everyone! Because of limited resources today, we went traditional. I did grill some onions, though (win). Also slathered some Hawaiian marinade on a couple, just to try it out (win). And I figured I’d see what grilled broccoli was like (fail).
Erin – you can tell me your lime sauce recipe. It’ll be our little secret. ;o)

Erin ‘Hutter’ Walker Nice try, Matt! I am not that easily fooled. Once you perfect the bacon burger recipe, we can talk. 😉
