TOP DOGS

BRING THE backyard heat with this surefire two-step recipe to grill a plumper dog. Then try out these ten incredible sets of toppings that go far beyond.

BY MATTHEW KADEY, R. D.

1 TURN DOWN THE TEMP Searing heat burns and splits the skin of hot dogs before the insides warm through. Instead, preheat your grill to medium low. Then add your franks, close the grill lid, and cook, turning them every minute or so, until browned and plump, 5 to 7 minutes. Then remove the dogs and allow them to rest for 2 minutes (during which time you can grill your buns till crisp, about 30 seconds). 2 STUFF AND TOP Transfer the rested hot dogs to the toasted buns. Then pile or spoon on the topping combos that follow. Don’t skimp: You shouldn’t see more than the ends of the dogs. Each recipe makes 2 servings. Scale up to feed more.
