TOP FIVE: 

HOT DOGS

A quintet of tasty things to try this month

THE KING

AT DOGHOUSE

COLLEGE PARK

Fit for a “king,” this dish features a skinless, all-beef Nathan’s hot dog served in a fresh semi-toasted bun and topped with beef chili, cheese sauce, bacon bits, onions, crushed Fritos, ketchup and mustard. The beef hot dog can be replaced with an Angus beef hot dog or a sausage, such as a smoked sausage, jalapeño cheddar sausage or craft beer sausage.
