The Carolina-style Dog

Canis calidus subsp. piedmontensis

If a hot dog or burger is "Carolina-style," that means it's going to have mustard, chili, coleslaw, and sometimes onions. A Carolina-style dog is exactly that. I don't have much more to say.

Five things I know about the Carolinas off the top of my head right now:

  1. funky red slaw and yellow bbq sauce (but the yellow sauce is racist?)
  2. bathroom bill ground zero
  3. dollar signs is from charlotte
  4. Gullah culture (super cool)
  5. red rice and perloo
 

The Hot Dog Chili

WHAT YOU NEED

  • 250g ground beef
  • 100g minced yellow onion
  • 2 cloves finely minced garlic
  • 150ml water
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp yellow mustard
  • 1 tsp white vinegar 5%
  • 1/2 tbsp worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/8 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/8 tsp onion powder
  • seasoned salt and black pepper to taste
  • red hot sauce to taste
  • neutral oil

HOW-TO

  1. Heat a pot or pan over medium heat and add oil.
  2. Add the beef and onions. Let fry until the meat and onions are both browned. Break it up in tiny pieces.
  3. Add the garlic, then season to taste with seasoned salt and black pepper.
  4. Mix in the sugar and spices, then pour in the water. Bring to a simmer and stir in all of the remaining ingredients.
  5. Let everything cook down. You want the sauce to be nice and thick, not too runny. Give it a taste and adjust the seasoning before you serve it.

The Carolina-style Dog

HOW-TO

  1. Cook up your dog how you like it. I just brown it in a pan.
  2. Warm up your bun how you like (toaster oven works great), and get the chili nice and hot, too.
  3. Lay your cooked dog in the bun, then squirt mustard down the length of it.
  4. Top the dog with the minced onion, chili, and slaw (in that order).
