Do this next time you cook up some hot dogs. Take a few hot dogs and roll them in Cajun seasoning before cooking them on the grill. Get them covered all around, end to end. That’s it. The result? Totally great tasty twists on a regular ole hot dog, Cajun hot dogs. They have a nice little flavor that makes your hot dogs different. You don’t want boring hot dogs. What’s the point of going through the trouble of cooking if all you’re going to end up with is boring?
No Ho-Hum Hot Dogs Here
These Cajun hot dogs combine great kick. Too cool them down, they’re topped with pico de gallo. Each bite is fantastic. If you can’t find pico de gallo, use a good chunky salsa.
And the chile mayonnaise? Use it on hamburgers too or to spice up ho-hum sandwiches. And although my wife doesn’t believe me, it’s great for dipping French fries. If you’re in the ketchup-dipping camp, try mayonnaise.
Go Split-Top
If you can find them, I can’t recommend split-top hot dog buns for ALL of your hot dog needs. You can put a lot more toppings on your hot dogs with split-top buns. Sure, you’ll still have to open your mouth real wide to get them all in with eat bite. But oh can you ever load them up more!

Cookin’ Dogs
Hey, cook the dogs however you want, on whatever you want. Griddle. Grill. Stovetop. Boiled. Broiled. Steamed. Baked. I don’t care. I don’t mean that in a snobby way. I’m just saying you do you. I happen to like air-fried hot dogs. I get a crunchy skin. And I like that. And I can throw the buns in too if I want them toasted (and I do). I often like to cut a thin slit lengthwise down my hot dog before cooking it. That slit’ll open up a bit as the dog heats. When I put it on the bun, I put the hot dog slit face-up. It gives the toppings a wonderful place to go. And stay. They don’t pop out with each and every bite!
There’s no reason to have boring tasteless dogs. You have to give marinating your hot dogs a try too.
