OLD FASHIONED LUNCHEONETTE HOT DOG



Old Fashioned Luncheonette Hot Dog image

As a child in the 60's and 70's, my Mom would treat us to a hot dog at the local department store back in the day when they had a Luncheteria. She watched the simple way they made them so we could enjoy them at home. They became a staple for our family as a Saturday night dinner. I know some friends of mine raised their eyebrows at the buttering of a bun, but that's how the luncheonette ladies made them and they tasted so good and my friends agreed. I just used the serving number of 8 to account for 4 servings of two hot dogs apiece, as you can't just have one! Always try to use the best quality hot dogs as you can.

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 hot dogs, sliced down the middle, but not all the way through
8 buns, soft and fresh from the bakery
1 onion, chopped or sliced in rings
oil, a splurt...for cooking
butter, (real butter!) to spread on buns

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a non-stick pan to medium heat.
  • Prepare fresh buns by opening and buttering them.
  • Add sliced or chopped onions to fry. When browned, remove onions to keep warm, or keep them in the pan pushed to the side.
  • Slice hot dogs down the middle but not all the way through (keep it connected). You want to pry them open to have a double wide face down hot dog.
  • Lay them flat, cut side down in the seasoned pan and cook until brown, Flip to the other side and brown.
  • When browned to your liking, remove from pan. Keep pan on medium heat.
  • Put buttered buns face down in the hot pan to toast them (I press them down a couple of times so butter and pan connect). When nice and brown, remove them.
  • Assemble the hot dog and sauteed onions into the bun.
  • Dress with mustard and ketchup and anything else your heart desires! Pour a nice, ice cold Coke with a straw, add some krinkle fries, and enjoy a trip back in time!

OPEN FACE CHILI DOG



Open Face Chili Dog image

Made with 'second day chili' (everyone knows chili is best the second day) this is a delicious way to eat a chili dog in a new way! When I was a child we used to make hotdogs this way from time to time (especially when there were no hotdog buns in the house but we had hamburger buns) and I discovered one day that it is a perfect platform for a heaping helping of chili! Eaten with a fork, this is one chilidog that attempts to step onto the good china :)

6 hot dogs
6 hamburger buns
3 cups leftover chili
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • Re-heat chili.
  • Place the now circular hotdogs on the bottom hamburger buns, fill the center with chili to overflowing.
