cabbage and icicle cucumber hot dogs
Can the reputation of the hot dog, the pariah of the food world, be rehabilitated? I think so. And so do all those people who practically fought for an invite to one of my infamous barbecues. The key to polishing up its image? Nitrate-free Vienna sausages and lots of good-quality condiments: quintessential sauces, crisp lettuce and a dependable and delicious red slaw. But to tell you the truth, it’s our cloud-like sesame hot dog buns made with Quebec-grown wheat that make all the difference.
