You only have to look at a Maine red snapper once to decide whether you’re going to be the type of person who digs in, or the person who turns and runs. The name refers to both its color and texture. It’s red because it’s loaded with food coloring, and it’s a snapper because of the snap of the casing you get when you bite into one. Cartoon devil re...
My first journalism internship was at the lovely Columbus and the Valleymagazine in Columbus, Georgia. While there, I tested out the scrambled dog, a style that loosely fits into the category of hot dog (more on that later). I loved my internship, and I loved the people of Columbus, but nothing can make me love a scrambled dog. This style is pretty...
There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of a Seattle dog unless you’ve been to the namesake city or select parts of the Pacific Northwest. Yet what the Seattle dog lacks in ubiquity and name recognition, it makes up for with one very memorable ingredient: cream cheese. Yes, the Seattle dog is a hot dog with cream cheese. If you’re thinking this so...
New York Cityis where America’s hot dog dreams were born. Also where they came to die, depending on who you ask. For this ranking, I’m going to refer to the New York dogs that people here actually eat, not the dirty water dogs found floating like dead fish in the bowels of a street cart. The ideal New York hot dog is the Papaya dog, which is warmed...
Of the many hot dog styles around the US inspired by Brooklyn’s early Greek immigrants, Detroit’s Coney Island dog is the most famous. It’s a hot dog on a steamed bun that’s lathered in a beanless, meaty chili and topped with chopped white onions and mustard. It’s similar to the scrambled dog, but less soupy, and crucially has a bun, making it (som...
Like the Coney Island dog, the Appalachian dog (also known as a West Virginia hot dog) is a hot dog on a steamed bun with beanless chili, chopped onions, and mustard. There’s one major difference: coleslaw. It’s popular in West Virginia and the Appalachian South and is superior to the northern iterations of the Coney Island dog. Yes, it’s still a m...
Of all the good bois in the hot dog universe, the Polish Boy is one of the most good. Its centerpiece is a grilled kielbasa (a Polish sausage made with beef, pork, or both). The kielbasa sits on a sturdy roll and is topped with coleslaw, French fries, and a healthy pour of barbecue sauce and hot sauce. It has the balance of the Appalachian dog with...
Most popular in Los Angeles, but also found in smaller numbers in cities like San Francisco and San Diego, the Tijuanadog is yet another hot dog style that has little geographical relation to its name. But who cares. It’s absolutely delicious. Also known as a “danger dog,” Tijuana dogs are hot dogs wrapped in bacon and either griddled or deep fried...
In Arizona, the other state where Hermosillo’s bacon-wrapped hot dog found a home, it’s known as a Sonoran dog and is popular in cities like Phoenix and Tucson. Where the California version went light and fresh, Arizona went all in. The bacon dog is topped with a mound of beans, salsa, guacamole, jalapeños, and cheese. To keep it all together, it’s...
There’s no better form of tube of meat between a bun than the Chicago dog. It’s made with an all-beef, natural casing dog topped with peppers, mustard, relish, onion, tomato, celery salt, and a whole pickle spear. All of that is squeezed into a poppy seed bun. Each bite is a harmony of flavors and textures that play off each other in a way both hea...
- Dirty-Water Dog. Place of origin: The streets of New York City. The dog: A skinless, all-beef kosher dog (usually Hebrew National or Sabrett) boiled in a deep tank of questionably sanitary water, topped with a stripe of spicy, pale yellow, deli style mustard, a spoonful of red onion mystery sauce (optional), and handed over in a soft white bun.
- Texas Wiener. Place of origin: Surprisingly not Texas. Plainfield and Patterson, New Jersey, both claim the honor. The dog: A beef dog, grilled and topped with spicy mustard, chopped raw onion, and “Greek sauce” (a smooth, chili-like sauce made with ground meat and seasoned with cumin, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and cayenne).
- Baltimore Bologna Dog. Place of origin: Baltimore, Maryland. The dog: A kosher, all-beef dog, griddled, lined with yellow mustard (relish and chopped onion optional), fit snugly into a freshly baked roll.
- Philly Combo. Place of origin: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The dog: A grilled, all-beef hot dog, split down the middle and placed upon a wide steamed or toasted bun, layered with sweet, vinegar-based coleslaw and a stripe of spicy mustard (so far so good) but look underneath and you will find a fish cake.
