While summer may be winding down as kids go back to school, the days are still long offering plenty of daylight for evening grilling.
The classic summer ballpark food, the hot dog, is more than just a quick meal for children. By simply dressing up the toppings, you can create a gourmet meal perfect for one last hoorah by the pool or a last minute movie night under the stars.
Fun options for hot dogs include homemade slaw; bacon, lettuce and tomato; condiments like chipotle mayonnaise or honey BBQ mustard; corn salsa; or even using po-boy bread to hold more toppings. The sky’s the limit! Experiment and have fun!
