Texas Hots (West NY Style Hot Dog with a Greek Style Sauce)
Here is my second video in my hot dog series, and a video requested from a subscriber that watched my first video in this series. This is a hot dog that appears to be very popular around the west New York state area, and after researching this dog, I see where it has different versions, that is also very popular from RI to Philly, and many other places in this north east portion of the US. I was super impressed with the version I created in this video, and I could have seriously scarfed down a lot of these tonight. Please go over and see Tom's Test Kitchen's original version of what I did here today.
