Steps:
- In a medium-sized saucepan, over medium heat, saute the lardons of bacon until brown and crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan and drain on paper towels. Discard the bacon fat. Put the olive oil into the same pan. Wash the chopped leeks thoroughly to remove any grit, and then drain. Put them into the pan with the olive oil and saute until soft and wilted. Remove the leeks from the pan and set aside.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in the same pan and then sprinkle with the flour, stirring to incorporate. Cook the roux over medium heat for a few minutes. Whisk the warm milk into the roux and cook until it thickens. Fold in the grated Gruyere and grated Parmigiano and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add a pinch of cayenne and a pinch of nutmeg. Set the sauce aside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over medium heat for the pasta.
- In a small fry pan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter and add the panko. Stir constantly until the crumbs are lightly toasted. Set aside.
- Preheat the grill to medium.
- Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and gently fold the cooked pasta into the cheese sauce and keep warm. Fold in the bacon and the leeks.
- Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter and brush it on the cut sides of the buns. Grill the hot dogs over the hottest part of the barbecue until they are brown, and toast the buns around the perimeter where the fire is cooler, until you have light golden grill marks. Put 1 hot dog into each bun and generously slather with the hot sauce. Top each hot dog with a generous portion of the pasta and cheese sauce. Sprinkle with the toasted panko and chopped parsley and serve.
- Serve and enjoy.
NEW YORK-STYLE HOT DOGS
Nothing says summer like a hot dog! It's one of those foods that kick-starts a season, and a NY-style dog is always my first choice. I have such great memories of living in New York City and having a hot dog at a baseball game, or for a late-night snack or just grabbing one from a cart while walking around the city. Once I moved to California I had to learn how to make the iconic sweet onions coated in tangy tomato sauce myself. Now the traditional New York-style hot dog can welcome me to summer every year.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, stir in the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring every minute or so, until the onions have softened and begin to caramelize, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste, stirring until the onions are completely coated. Cook until the tomato paste deepens in color, about 1 minute. Stir in the vinegar, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pan. Stir in 1 cup of water, the sugar and garlic powder. Raise the heat to medium and bring to a rapid simmer. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer until the sauce reduces and thickens enough so a spoon leaves behind a trail, 10 to 12 minutes. Season with salt to taste.
- While the onions simmer, place the hot dogs on a baking sheet and bake until heated through and they begin to brown on the bottoms, about 10 minutes, flipping once about halfway through the cooking time. If you like, open the hot dog buns and toast the buns alongside the dogs for the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Place the hot dogs in the buns and top with the onions. Serve immediately.
