Grilling season is here, and the best way to celebrate is to throw some hot dogs on the grates. While the dog and the bun are important, really, we're all about the hot dog toppings. Ketchup, mustard, and relish are traditional (and delicious), but there’s a whole world of sauces and condiments that are perfect for adding to chargrilled franks—and we have a fantastic lineup of toppings for you to choose from.

15 Delicious Ways to Top a Hot Dog

A classic hot dog on a steamed bun might be the most common way to enjoy a hot dog but there are plenty of styles, each with its own flavor and spin. Some are designed with flavor in mind, adding a sweet note to the salty hot dog and spicy toppings. Others have to be big enough to hold mounds of toppings included in the particular hot dog style. No matter what style you want to try, choosing the right bun is the first and sometimes most important step.

The Best Buns For 13 Hot Dog Styles

Few foods are more American than the hot dog. The gift of German immigrants who first arrived in the 1860s, this everyman tubed meat became a vehicle for endless interpretation by the immigrants who followed. The Chaat Dog is my contribution, a mashup of my Chicago upbringing (we ate a LOT of hot dogs growing up) and my Pakistani heritage. Chaat (chāt), which means to “to lick” or “to taste” in Hindi, is an all-day snack ubiquitous throughout Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. It takes many forms, but its mix of ingredients combine crunchy, spicy, sweet, sour, and tangy all in one bite. Think of it this way: If the hot dog cart is the comfort food you find on nearly every street corner in America, a chaat stall is the South Asian equivalent. Here are three chaat dog recipes that will elevate your summer cookout. We like to serve them with Vienna Beef or Field Roast franks, but feel free to use your favorite pup.

National Onion Ring day, June 22, is right around the corner. As a college student, I’m a fast food connoisseur. If you’re an onion ring lover like myself, I’m sure you often struggle to decide which chain’s greasy goodness you want to consume. Not to mention that drive-through onion rings are hard to come by. In fact, many fast food restaurants have either never carried or discontinued onion rings from their menus (I’m looking at you, Arby’s). In order to avoid any future beer-battered debacles, here is a comprehensive list of my favorite onion rings and why they are each uniquely delicious.

For me, summer weekends are all about grilling, preferably with a cocktail in hand. I grill everything from chicken thighs to veggie kabobs, but nothing hits quite like a classic hot dog. So I was instantly intrigued when one of my favorite TikTok accounts, Mama Jill, shared how she marinates and seasons her hot dogs before grilling them. After seeing how good her finished hot dogs looked, I immediately knew I had to try this trick for myself.

Jill Biden revealed to The New York Times reporter Katie Rogers what Joe told her following the debate. Rogers queried Jill at a Biden campaign fundraising event in the Hamptons on Friday. “You know, Jill, I don’t know what happened. I didn’t feel that great.” Biden reportedly told the first lady, according to an X post by Rogers. Jill responded, “Look, Joe, we are not going to let 90 minutes define the four years that you’ve been President.” Biden has not been cagey around acknowledging his poor performance on Thursday night. Biden told a crowd in North Carolina on Friday that he knows he’s “not a young man,” and went on to acknowledge other signs of his age, “I don’t walk as easy as I used to. I don’t walk as smoothly as I used to. I don’t debate as well as I used to.” Biden added, “But I know what I do know—I know how to tell the truth, I know right from wrong, and I know how to do this job.”Read it at Daily MailRead more at The Daily Beast.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
