A few years ago the Big 10 basketball tournament was held here in Indianapolis. As part of the event, the Levy restaurant group in Chicago produced unique hot dogs that highlight each of the Big 10 teams. I came across a copy of the list of the dogs recently, and just had to make each of them. The Wisconsin Badger cheesy hot dog packs on the cheese and… Cheetos on a hot dog?! Brilliant! All topped with delicious pepper relish. Crunchy yumminess!
You have to cut me some slack about not knowing all of the Big 10 team names and colors! I went to an SEC school!
Cheetos For The Win
Putting Cheetos on a hot dog not only makes them even more yummy it makes them even more fun to eat. You can’t go wrong with this Wisconsin Badger cheesy hot dog. All the tastiest things in one bite! For a twist, top these dogs with my caramel crunchy Cheetos! But then I guess it won’t be a Badger dog! Oops!

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!
