Gourmet Hot Dog: The Dixie Dog
Something has to compensate for the sweltering heat of the deep south, or no one would want to live there. The compensating factor? The food. Southerners know how to keep their tastebuds happy by using the deep fryer as a magical cauldron of Dixieland delights. Now you can bring a little southern charm to your kitchen by putting together a hot dog that honors some of the South's most beloved cuisine.
Typically, we recommend all-beef franks. To ensure the complete flavor of the deep south, a pork frank will really compliment the other ingredients.
