From the Coney Island Dog of New York to the Remoulade Dog in New Orleans to the tortilla-wrapped Bacon Burrito Dog served up at Pink's in Los Angeles, The Great American Hot Dog Book takes you on a tour to reveal the inside story of how the hot dog has evolved and become even more firmly entrenched in America's culinary traditions.
Recipes include:
Blackie's Deep-Fried Dogs and Pear-Pepper Relish
The Original Nathan's Famous Hot Dog
Bacon Cheese Dogs with Fried Onions

Pink's Pastrami Burrito Dogs
