So back in the Buffalo NY area we have what I think are some of the best hotdogs I have had. There is a brand called Sahlens that makes hotdogs and hams and I don't even know what else. Now that I am out in Seattle though I haven't had any in a while so I found a website that overnights them out here and I have 70 - well 65 now hotdogs. I need some ideas of what to but on these dogs. I usually eat them plain because I think they are that good but I am lookin to try some new things too.

Thanks.

Nothing but spicy brown or beer mustard
I'll see your spicy brown or beer mustard and raise you some chopped onions. If I don't want to bother with the onions, though, the spicy brown/beer mustard is plenty. A little horseradish in the beer mustard is perfectly acceptable too. :D

(I just don't understand why some people go for sweet relish and ketchup. Or chili. Or sauerkraut. Or fried onions and peppers. But not everyone agrees with me. :) )
 
Sorta depends on the day an what I got. Sometimes it be ketchup an onions, bbq sauce an onions, spiced mustard an onions, sauerkraut an onions, horseradish an onions, cheese sauce an onions. Gee, do I even like onions? Chili an onions, green relish an onions.

Maybe some onions? :D
 
Always ketchup, Webers hot mustard/relish and onions. Whenever I cook Salens, I always cook extra. I love em leftover/cold plain in a bun or on white bread.
 
There is a place called Pinks, in Hollywood I think, and they serve what they call a 3 Dog Night. Awesome dog and more than one man should eat. Get yourself a Tortilla and place in it 3 foot long dogs, 3 slices of bacon, grilled onions, mustard, chili, and cheese. Roll it up and pin the sheets down. :shock: :LOL:

I made these and a few other variations last year. No one wanted one until I made the first and then they all wanted one.
 
Bryan, just a slaw dog is probably still a Carolina dog, but the chili
slaw combo reaches a zenith of culinary heights. The most difficult, and yet essential, aspect is finding the right combo of chili and slaw.
 
for hot dogs, I use a thinner chili as opposed to the kind of Texas
chili you eat in a bowl. I'm working on a recipe, but my near
perfect results were lost with my old harddrive.

here's the Skyline chili mentioned in another thread, Cincy style

Here's the last recipe I came up with which was decent but I ain't even
back to where I was before I lost the old recipe.


3-21-09

2.15 lbs of 73 ground beef
1 T of crisco in pot.
4 yellow onions, rough chop
half a cup of water.
4 T mustard
4 T kethcup
4 T woos
1 t grand garlic
1 t chipotle pepper
1 T Scotts vinegar
1 T salt
1 T brown sugar (this seems too much)
1 t cumin
1 t paprika
1 T butter
1 T black pepper (black pepper is crucial)
1 t oregano
1/2 t celery seed



Here's my notes from this recipe..

"
early taste was sweet, then added the salt.
cooking together now.

thinking about adding more Crisco, or butter.
butter sounds good right now (margerine)
added butter and motorboated. It's spicy.
Onions were blended well with mb. a little
salty. Fairly thick. might add more ketchup.
could use thinning and more tomato flavor, but
so far tastes pretty good. maybe more wang?"
