food HOT dogs

I just tried the Chicago style hot dogs this past Monday evening at the tailgate for the Giants Monday Night game.  I didn't get the rolls right, mine weren't poppy.  But, I did good on all the other ingredients.  I had picked up a jar of Pickled Sport Peppers from Walmart online.  I initially didn't like the idea of tomatos on the dog but everything worked out great.  I would definitely go that style again.  For those interested, that style of hot dog has its own webpage:  http://hotdogchicagostyle.com/
 
Definitely growing Sport peppers next year so that I can pickle the sh*t out of them.
 
I love good hotdogs such as Nathans and Hebrew National. Kirkland, Applegate or Trader Joes are good in a pinch too. I only buy all beef hotdogs and prefer Kosher brands. Years ago a local place offered a Reuben Dog. Basically its just a hotdog with Rueben toppings. I sure wish someone made a hotdog from cornbeef or even pastrami.
 
Ive put sauerkraut on hotdogs and brats for as long as i can remember. One day i added some hot sauce and fell in love with them. I then had another brainiac moment!!!
 
Reuben dog meet kimchi. In this case it happens to be a jalapeno sausage with some added lemon drop peppers.
