Columbian-Style Hot Dog

The Columbian Style Hot Dog is made with simple ingredients including pineapple, cheese, pink sauce, and potato chips. This is a must-try hot dog at your next cookout.

Why We Love This Hot Dog

We first had this hot dog from a small street vendor located in the entryway of an off-the-beat pub in Sedona AZ. He called himself “The Hot Dog Man”. The sweet and salty flavor is a real surprise and the ingredients go well together.

This hot dog was so good that it has become a favorite of ours and still is a favorite after many years.

Ingredients

• 4 top-split hot dog buns
• 4 hot dogs
• 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ¼ cup crushed pineapple – juice drained and discarded
• 2 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp ketchup
• 12-15 potato chips

Let’s Make Columbian-Style Hot Dogs

1. Grill or boil hot dog.
2. Grill hot dog bun if desired
3. While the dot hogs are cooking, mix together the mayonnaise and ketchup for the “pink sauce”.

To Assemble

1. Start with the bun
2. Add hot dog
3. Add 1 tbsp crushed pineapple on top of each hot dog
4. Divide the cheese equally on top of each hot dog.
5. Add a handful of crushed potato chips to the top of each hot dog.
6. Drizzle them with the “pink sauce”.

The Hot Dog Man Update

I went online to find the small offbeat pub where we first had this fun hot dog. It appears that they have done well, expanded their business, and have moved to a larger location with a full kitchen of their own and I could not find any mention of The Hot Dog Man.
