The days of plopping a hot dog on a bun, squirting a squiggle of school bus yellow mustard on it and calling it lunch are over. Our 101-Plus Hot Dog Variations elegantly jazz up flavor and aesthetics. What better way to celebrate a meal than boiling, grilling, steaming or baking hot dogs and then jazzing and them up with Swiss cheese, fancy mustard, piccalilli or a dozen other fancy condiments.

Here's a sampling of what's in the book.



- Chicago dogs: Dressed with yellow mustard, dark green relish, chopped raw onions, tomato slices, celery salt and a poppy seed bun.
