Mastering hot dogs. Three classic styles and tips from pros. Hot dog enthusiasts unite. As summer reaches its peak, there’s no better way to celebrate than with a delicious hot dog. Two culinary experts, Jarrett Kerr and Jo Kim Boyle are here to share their insights on crafting the ultimate hot dog experience right in your own kitchen. After spending over 10 years immersed in the vibrant New York dining scene, Kerr and Boille have teamed up to create Dog Day Afternoon, a charming ery located in South Slope, Brooklyn that specializes in hot dogs. Boil, hailing from Oak Park, Illinois, has dedicated much of his life to mastering the Chicago style hot dog. This iconic dish is renowned for its colorful array of toppings which include yellow mustard, sweet green pickle relish, finely chopped onions, fresh tomato slices, a dill pickle spear, sport peppers, and a sprinkle of celery salt. In contrast, Kerr, who has never set foot in Chicago, has a passion for hot dogs that knows no bounds. With a diverse background that spans over 15 years in various restaurant roles, from buser to general manager at some of Brooklyn’s finest establishments, he is well equipped to co-found this hot dog haven, a flavorful trio of hot dog recipes. Recently, the duo appeared on Good Morning America to share three mouthwatering hot dog recipes along with tips for recreating these delights at home. One, the Chicago dog. This classic begins with a natural casing Vienna beef hot dog nestled in a poppy seed potato roll generously topped with the vibrant ingredients mentioned earlier. Two, the all beef chili cheese dog. Starting with the same natural casing Vienna beef hot dog, they elevate the dish with a house-made beef chili. This chili is rich in flavor, thanks to the use of ancho and New Mexico chilis, which are simmered down into a savory broth with pureeed chipotle pepper, garlic, onion, and ground beef. The final touch includes a drizzle of cheddar cheese sauce, diced white onions, scallions, and a zesty serrano pepper hot sauce for an extra kick. Three, the classic New York dog. According to Curran Boil, this version is served with either yellow or spicy brown mustard or their own caramelized onions and sauerkraut. They emphasize that instead of the traditional sretions in a sweet ketchup sauce, their caramelized onions provide a balanced sweetness without overwhelming the other flavors. Expert tips for crafting the perfect hot dog at home. Steaming is key. For the juiciest hot dice, steaming is a way to go. If you have a rice cooker, fill it with about three cups of water. Place the hot dogs in the basket insert. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes until they are plump and juicy. If you lack a steamer, simply boil water in a larger pot and use a colander or strainer above the water line, covering it to trap the seam. Grilling for char. For those who love a bit of char, consider butterflying your hot dog by splitting it down the middle lengthwise. This increases the grilling surface area, allowing for a delightful crispiness. If you have a cooking weight or press, use it to press the hot dog down for an even better char. Boiling works, too. If all else fails, boiling is a reliable method, especially for natural casing hot dogs, as it helps retain their juices and flavor. Join the conversation.
