Take your family on a tour of regional tastes with a variety of unique hot dog styles. Try a different recipe each time you cook out and start enjoying the dog days of summer.

Chicago Dog
To re-create this ballpark favorite, place a hot dog in a poppy seed bun and top with mustard, onion, sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato wedges, pickled sport peppers and celery salt.
TIP #2
Mexican Dog
For a south-of-the-border treat, wrap hot dogs with bacon and grill until the bacon is fully cooked. Then set out toppings, including grilled onions, sliced jalapeños, refried beans, guacamole and salsa.
TIP #3
Chile Dog
Not to be confused with the more common "chili" dog, this South American favorite is made with sliced tomatoes, avocado and mayo. It's often called an "Italiano" because it resembles the colors of the Italian flag.

Hawaiian Dog
For a taste of the tropics, create a sweet relish for your hot dog made from mango, banana, papaya and pineapple.

Colombian Dog
Enjoy a mix of sweet and salty with this regional favorite. Top your dog with raw onion, crushed pineapple and a sprinkle of crushed potato chips. Then finish off with a squirt of mayo, mustard and ketchup.

Texan Dog
For hot dogs with a taste as big and bold as Texas, layer on longhorn cheddar, top with chopped onions and slather on bold and tangy barbecue sauce.
TIP #8
Reuben Dog
Top your hot dog with melted Swiss cheese, pile on the sauerkraut and finish off with Russian dressing for a fresh take on the classic Reuben sandwich.
