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 chucks, 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 is what makes these Big Kahuna hot dogs so great!
Also try my blackjack dogs. I love them too!
