> [@QuickSilver](#): > > Middle East Dog: Hebrew National all beef frank, foul, tahini, garlic mayo, pickled red onions, shreded lettuce all stuffed in a pita. Not bad, but I’d improve it: \*turkey \*hot dog, hummus, tahini, french fries, Israeli salad (finely chopped cucumbers and tomatoes with salt and olive oil), onion, fried eggplant slices, [skhug](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skhug), and a hard boiled egg. In a pita, of course. ---

Chinese Dog: Minced steamed hot dog, soft steamed bun with no crust, topped with soy sauce and spring onions. … I also thought of the obvious ethnic slur, but hey, this is a nice thread… 😉 ---

When I visited a buddy of mine in Germany back in 2003 I think he about had a heart attack at seeing me put catsup on a hot dog :smack: Though I do actually like some onion on my hot dog also.

I call this the College Dog (cuz I used to eat it on a very regular basis in college): Cook dog in a frying pan of butter, sprinkle with generous amount of cayenne pepper. Slather the bun with mayo. Put the buttery, caynenne-peppery dog onto the bun and top with cheez-wiz. ---

> [@Son\_of\_a\_Rich](#): > > What extra effort did it take? A hot dog is taken out of the package and ready to be put in the pan/grill as-is and doesn’t really take long to prepare as it’s already cooked-- just heat it up and eat. The burger-dog takes longer to prep than a traditional hot dog and needs to actually be cooked. And, it’s not as big as a typical hamburger, so it just seemed like a lot of work for very little payoff. In other words, for the same amount of work and cook time, I could’ve had an actual hamburger and been full. ---

I have had hamburgers served on hot dog bun where the meat was fried loose and spooned into the bun before adding the usual condiments. I had them in a mom n’ pop place in a small central Pennsylvania town, though people tell me they are common and popular in the Mid-West. Still more work than preparing hot dogs, but less than is involved in making ground beef into hot dogs. ---

My sainted mother ate her hot dogs with mayo, relish, and peanut butter and taught us to do the same. My brother still follows this practice, but I have not. Me: sauerkraut & mustard with onions; or ketchup & onions; or chili & cheese with onions. Hmm, onions looks like the common denominator. As an adult I lived in New Orleans a block or so off the parade routes and went through 4 or 5 dozen steamed dogs and buns every time there was a parade. Once on Friday, twice on Saturday and Sunday. Good times. Offered was chili, onions, ketchup, cheese and mustard. Other stuff, bring your own. Donations of buns and dogs welcome. ---
