Third Down Conversion Dog Recipes

DEPRESSION DOG

Steps:

• Grill, steam or boil the hot dogs, and then place them in the buns. Top each with 1 tablespoon relish, 1/2 tablespoon white onion, 3 sport peppers and some yellow mustard.

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOG

Steps:

• Steamed Hot Dog
• Cook in a steamer basket set in a pot with a few inches of simmering water, covered, 5 to 7 minutes; add buns during the last minute.
• Bread-and-Butter Relish
• Combine 1 cup diced bread-and-butter pickles, 1 tablespoon diced pickled cherry peppers and 1 teaspoon sugar in a small bowl.
• Yellow Mustard
• White Onion
• Celery-Salt Fries
• Bake 2 cups frozen french fries as the label directs. Toss with 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, and salt to taste.
• Sport Peppers (or other pickled hot peppers)

FISH DOG

Steps:

• Heat the oil to 350 degrees F in a large 12- or 14-inch cast-iron skillet filled halfway up.
• Mix the flour, paprika and garlic salt in a bowl. Add the beer and whisk until the mixture reaches the consistency of a thin pancake batter. Rest the batter in the fridge for 15 minutes.
• Once rested, dunk the fish in the batter, let excess drip off and then gently slide the fish into the oil. Fry until just golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove the fish to a wire rack set over a sheet tray and season with salt.
• The sandwich build: Lay a piece of American cheese on each bun, set a piece fish on top, then dollop on an even layer of Chipotle Tartar Sauce and sprinkle with red onion.
• In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, relish, honey, mustard, chipotle and a little hit of the adobo sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and then prepare to want to put this sauce on everything.
