From the moment I ran across this great idea for the Big Kahuna hot dogs from the menu at Duke’s Gourmet Hot Dogs (sadly, now closed) I knew one thing. I knew I was going to go big on the pineapple and spicy on the BBQ sauce. Sure, there’s some Canadian bacon down in there too. There’s just enough to give you that great hammy (not smoked) flavor. But for me the winner-winner hot dog dinner is the combination of sweet pineapple and spicy BBQ sauce.
Pineapple And BBQ Sauce Go Great Together
I didn’t throw the pineapple on the grill, which definitely would’ve made them even sweeter. All I had on hand were pineapple chunks, and those would’ve found their way between the grill grates. If you have pineapple slices just toss them on the grill for a few minutes on each side. Then chop them into bite-sized pieces. The pineapple and the sauce are what makes these Big Kahuna hot dogs so great!

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 mine cooked up on a charcoal grill or in an air fryer. I get a crunchy skin. And I like that. And I can throw the buns on the grill or into the air fryer 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 will 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!
Also try my blackjack dogs. I love them too!
