Pastrami Reuben Dog

Makes 6 dogs

I love a Reuben, but always make it with coleslaw instead of sauerkraut. So it just makes sense that if I was going to turn it into a dog I would do the same.

Ingredients

• 6 Kosher dogs

• 6 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

• 12 slices deli pastrami

• 6 good hot dog buns

• 6 slices Swiss cheese

• 1 ½ cups coleslaw, and just the ready deli kind is perfect

• Thousand Island dressing

Directions

1. Heat grill to medium high

2. Cook dogs until beginning to blister and looking great and remove from grill

3. Put pastrami and buns on grill and cook about a minute each side until beginning to brown

4. Put some dressing on each toasted bun, adding the pastrami, drizzle mustard, the coleslaw and finally the cheese

5. Put under the broiler for a final melt of the cheese - then eat

Sour Cream Hot Dogs

Makes 4 really damn good dogs

Another so simple but so good recipe. It's hard for me NOT to make my dogs like this every time.

Ingredients

• 4 Kosher all beef hot dogs (just trust me on the Kosher part)
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/3 cup diced green onions

Directions

1. Heat grill to medium high
2. Using a knife, make a spiral cut all the way around each dog - about 1/4 of the way through
3. Grill dogs until beautiful and a wee bit crispy around the edges
4. Just as they're finishing, place buns on grill to get golden brown
5. Remove dogs and buns...spread sour cream on each bun...add a dog and top with a bunch of green onions - don't be stingy
6. Devour - I mean eat - no I mean devour
