Tom decided he hadn’t had lunch when we were at the Art Show and he wanted a hot dog. We stopped at Downtown Dogs and ordered a Chicago Dog. You notice by the ingredient list, Chicago Dogs never come with ketchup. I was intrigued by the shredded dill pickles. I am not a big pickle eater but I loved the small shreds of dill pickle on the “dog”. I’d never seen shredded pickles. Shredding the pickles preserves the crunchiness which is lost in a dill pickle relish. I had to share this great idea with you.
DOWNTOWN DOGS----CHICAGO HOT DOG
1/6 lb. Vienna all-beef dog, mustard, tomato, onions, neon-green relish, shredded dill pickle, sport peppers, dash of celery salt on a poppy seed bun.
Double click to see the shredded dill pickle. these buns are cut like I showed you in the Muffaletta post. They are so much easier to eat and toast when cut this way.
Crunchy refrigerated dill pickles and two different shredders.
Shredded pickles for hot dogs or hamburgers.
I SHOWED THIS BEFORE BUT IT IS SUCH A TERRIFIC AND SIMPLE IDEA, I AM SHOWING IT AGAIN.
NOT!
Buy unsliced buns at a bakery or store bakery. Do Not Cut Them Through the Side like this picture.
DO!
Cut down through the top. The sides are easy to grill or toast. The fillings stay in the bun better. PLEASE Do Try.
I agree all the way. We're from Quebec and only use top cut buns for hotdogs, nothing like them. But I have never tried shredded pickles on my hotdogs. That is something to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteI hope to visit Quebec one day. I am always amazed at how one little change can effect the end product. I am not a big pickle eater and I really love pickles grated. Thank you for your comment. Love to hear from you!!
