Hey America. We are here to save you one hot dog at a time. This is A Hot Dog Is A Sandwich. This dog is a sandwich. Ketchup is a smoothie. Yeah. I put ice in my cereal. So what? That makes no sense. A hot dog is a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich. What? Welcome to our podcast. A Hot Dog is a Sandwich, the show we break down the world’s biggest food debates. I’m your host, Josh Cher, and I’m your host Nicole Anty. And without a lot of pretense, Nicole, this is the event of the year that everybody has been waiting for. I’m ready. I’m ready. I’m ready. Nicole and Josh make 50 star Spangled hotdog to save the USA. Yes, because does it need saving? Depends who you ask. And will this save it? Yes, definitely. Definitely. It’ll, it’ll make us unify. It’ll, the first word in USA is. Uh, the first one, Unidos. United. United. That’s right. So, um, this was actually an opinion that a fan sent, um, and said that they should make hot dogs. They being the United States mm-hmm. Should make hot dogs for each state, and they should all be like. Ache into what is most popular at that state. So we are taking on that responsibility here, right here, right now. And we’re very excited about this. I’m very excited about it. What about you, Josh? Yeah. In the same way that the European Broadcast Corporation fortified themselves of the infrastructure of the British Broadcast Corporation and created Eurovision after World War ii. Mm-hmm. America tried its own version of Eurovision called the American Song Contest, hosted by Kelly Clarkson and Snoop Dogg, and it did not work. So now the American version of Eurovision is me and Nicole yelling about regional hotdog. Let’s do it for Unity. So we’re gonna, we’re gonna try and get through this quick, so we’re gonna put 30 seconds on the clock and we’re gonna do every state and maybe even some territories. I wanna do territories too. We’ll do territories. They’re as much as Americas as we want them to be. Uh, or as, as much as they wanna be. I, I don, they wanna be, I don’t know. I feel like growing up everyone is like, make Puerto Rico state, but. That’s like bad. I don’t know. Does Miss Puerto Puerto Rico Rico be a state? Be a state? Does Miss Puerto Rico, um, perform, represent in Miss, miss USA? I don’t know. But in the American song contest, they did have Puerto Rico and Guam. Okay, there you go. So we’re, okay. So we’re gonna have Puerto Rico and Guam too. Okay. Uh, 30 seconds on the clock. We’re gonna start, go alphabetical order in 3, 2, 1. Put it on Alabama. Okay, so Alabama already has a Birmingham special dog. Mm-hmm. But I say screw it, it’s baloney. Let’s do, let’s do a hot dog. They have a special kind of sausage called a co kika. A conka, huh? Yeah. They have a Kka sausage. Kka sausage, yes. Okay. I, I think we gotta do Alabama White. Sauce on there. Alabama, white sauce, white sauce. And then, and then, um, fried green tomatoes, fried green tomatoes, Alabama white sauce, Alabama white sauce. Or you do like a green tomato relish with crunchy fries on top. Alabama white sauce, kika sausage. Boom. Next Alaska. Okay, Alaska. So Alaska has one called a reindeer dog that like, has like reindeer meat, but I say foodie. Um, we should do a seafood dog of like crab, fish and seafood. And then it should be like a beer brought situation with onions. I agree with how much tourism they have. They need to lean into like the deadliest. Catch the Alaskan king crab fishery. There needs to be like a king crab salad on top of that. On top of the, on top of the seafood hotdog. Yeah, and I’d say maybe even sturgeon caviar. This needs to be lux. This needs to get people on those expensive Norwegian cruise liners. Go to Alaska. Okay, next. Um, let’s skip America Samo. We’ll come back to it. Arizona, Arizona already has the sono and hotdog. It’s perfect. Keep it. You wanna keep it? I think, I think we have to keep the sono and hotdog. It is a bolio roll that is hollowed out. Then you put in a scoop of beans. Mm-hmm. Yes. At the bottom of it. And then is it a, it’s typically a bacon wrapped hot dog, right? Yes it is. Yes it is. With like tomillo salsa, with, uh, with avocado, with mayonnaise, with mustard. Mustard. Mustard, with, with ketchup. Yeah. It’s everything to me. The Sonoran dog from Arizona is the perfect dog. Dog. We keep it. Okay, well I’ll talk about the Chiyan dog on another day. Chi Chonga dog. Chi Chaga dog. Um. Arkansas. So I’ve been to Arkansas. Have you been to Arkansas? Yes. Once to com to compete in their indoor track facility. They got, they got Walmart there. They sure do. I don’t know enough about Arkansas. They do barbecue. So this is what I have. I have cheese dip Tom Olives, which are just green tomatoes, mini fra, mini green tomatoes that are basically turned to olives and Walmart ingredients. That’s what I have on my, you want a full Walmart dog? Isn’t that where the Tyson chicken processing facility is too? I don’t know. You like afraid to, uh, people from Arkansas write to us about how little we know about Arkansas, California. Okay. So California has the, like I call them danger dogs. I dunno if that’s appropriate, but I call them danger dogs. Yeah, it is what it is. I, I think they’re perfect. The, the street hot dog bacon wrapped hot dog with it’s, it’s reminiscent pizza. VE dogs, let’s just say fahe heated veggies. Uh, I went to one spot outside of a bar that had like seven different salsas that you could put on it. No way. I think the, the LA Street dog should represent all of California. I think it’s perfect. Okay, great. Um, Colorado, so this is my pitch, so I thought so you know how like they have that, uh, mountain pizza with the braided crust? That’s really beautiful. Bo Bo Joe’s. Pizzeria Bojo. So I wanna take that ex, I wanna take that braid. I wanna slice it down in the middle. And then I wanna do a really hardy stew on top of like an all beef hot dog, like an elk chili. Mm-hmm. And then top it with some rocky mountain oysters. I think we need to save Rocky Mountain oysters for one of the Dakotas. And I think what the Colorado hot dog should be, it should be called the Slopper dog, like the Slopper Burger, which is a whole cheeseburger sitting in a bowl of green chili. Is that from Colorado Pueblo? Yeah. Pueblo Slopper meets a hot dog. I think it should be a Slapper dog. Do you wanna do stew or green or Or green chili? Green chili. What’s a stew? But green chili. Green chili is the stew with fork in it. Fine. Connecticut go. Okay, so I have a green. So this is where Louis Louis lunch. Louis’s lunch. Louis’s lunch, yeah. Was started steamed burgers, steamed hot dogs. And then you just take that and you put it on top of a hot buttered lobster roll and throw some clams on there. And then if you really wanna get crazy. Just coat the bun in some cinnamon sugar and like cook it with some apple cider. I think we gotta edit out the cinnamon sugar, but I think that’s a perfect hot dog. Why? They’re known for their apple cider donuts. Yeah, but lobster roll hotdog lobster roll is basically already a hotdog. She have a hotdog and a lobster roll. That’s the Connecticut dog. I think it’s perfect. Delaware easy. Yeah. Scrapple. Scrapple mustard Grape jelly. Ketchup. Done. Done. Okay. Um, Washington, DC State. No, definitely not a state. It’s a district in Columbia, but they do deserve to be representative. But wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I have to ask you if it says a state, you know, there was a compromise between the union and it was a compromise state. How was it? Philadelphia needs to the capital and then they, you put mumbo sauce on it. It’s like a, they put it on wings there. It’s fine. Wait, wait, hear me out. They have a very large Ethiopian population, so you could do a mumbo sauce dog if you want. Well, you said it’s because you said it was because of the confederacy and stuff. Yeah. Okay, so, so two hot dogs, just the south. Yeah, so, so two hot dogs, so a mumbo sauce dog, and then also a Dora wa dog. I, I accept, I accept your conditions. Okay, cool. Uh, Florida. Florida. I think this has to be Banno. Banno was invented in Tampa. Okay, fine. I think you put Swiss cheese, like Cuban Mojo. Djo, yes. Uh, breezed pork. Yes. And then, uh, pickles, Cuban mustard on it. I think it’s a great hot one. Does that mean media noche or does that mean Banno Banno? ’cause I think it would be served in more of like a crusty Cuban role. Well, I’ll figure it out. Okay. Georgia. Pork and peach. Hot dog. Pork and peach. Pretty self explanatory. Georgia peaches. What do you mean? It’s a state fruit. You not Georgia’s No, no. Georgia. Yeah, I agree. So a nice, a nice little mustardy, peachy relish with a nice little pork sausage. I think it’d be golden. I, I agree with you. I think that’s perfect. My only other pitch would be to make it lemon pepper wet. Shout out to, uh, what’s the strip of Atlanta Magic City? Guam. Guam. We’re going territory. We’re we’re skipping. We’re skipping the territories. Okay. Um, Hawaii. Spam. There’s a famous dog called a Puka dog. A pu dog in, in Hawaii. I’ve never heard of a Kuka dog. They like shove it inside of a roll. It’s like not uh um, fully clothed. I think it’s in like a Hawaiian sweet bun. Okay. Yeah. Puka dog. Then do I think you put some sort of like teriyaki glazed spam on there, right? I mean, that would make the most sense to me. I think you gotta do that. Okay. Idaho. Potato, potato, potato, potato. What else are you gonna do in Idaho? Come on now. You. You know, you hollow out a potato, you shove a hot dog in there, you fry it, you top it with fried potato sticks. Yeah. Idaho is far and away the number one potato producing state in America. In case anybody doubted it. I just Googled it. ’cause for some reason I thought Washington overtook them. It is not true. Suck it. Eastern Washington Coe d’Alene rules baby. Okay, so Idaho’s Potato, potato, potato, Illinois. Do we mess with the Chicago dog? I don’t think you can. I think should is one of those canonical hot dogs. I’m not doing it. I’m not doing it. We’re not messing. It’s worth Chicago. Chicago dog is a state dog of Illinois. I dunno if there’s anything else, anything else in Illinois that could contend, but what do you know about Springfield? Nothing Urbana Champagne. Oh honey, nothing. Me neither Chicago. I don’t know anything about Illinois other than Obama was there for a little. Obama was definitely there. Um, Indiana. Okay, so I asked local Indianan that works here kg, what they’re known for, and she said the Hoosier sandwich, which is. Breaded pork sandwich. So I say we take that and we just cut it up super fine and put it on top of the hot dog. I There is another thing or, or we use it as the bun horseshoe horseshoe dog. Have you heard the horseshoe? No. Horses is the horseshoe Iss an open face burger? It’s an Indiana specialty. Okay. I think the fried pork tendering sandwich is another contender. Uh, open face hamburger with like a cheese sauce covered in french fries. You want the hot dog to do that? I think just a hot dog covered in french fries and cheese sauce. Are they supposed to be crinkly french fries or is that just the Gotta be crinkly. Gotta be crinkly. Okay. So I don’t know if it has to be French. So cheese crinkly, french fries and a hot dog on a plate? Yeah. Okay. Open face, hot dog, whatever you say. Okay. Iowa corn. So the corn’s gonna show up a lot, so I think we have to be, oh, it’s gonna be a corn dog. We ha Oh. Right. Are you okay? Sorry, I burped a little bit a corn dog, but, but sweet corn in the batter of the, the corn. Yeah, I think like a whole Okay. Whole corn. Corn dog. Okay. Maybe even like in a corn shaped mold. Okay. You know what I mean? I think I’m willing to meet you halfway. Iowa doesn’t have that much going for it from a culinary, uh, you know, uh, standpoint. Uhhuh, so I think, I think you have to lean into the corn. Okay. Okay. So corn shaped, corn filled. Hot. Uh, corn dog. Yeah. Corn. Corn. Corn. I think we nailed it. Okay. Cut. Kaza. Zaza. I think we have to do Kansas City barbecue. A hundred percent. Kansas City probably has the best, uh, barbecue baked bean culture in America. Take that. Boston. You gave up the crown, but we might have to put Boston baked beans on the thing. I don’t know. We’ll see when we get there. Okay. But for now I think it’s gonna be a clam chatter dog. But think New England clam chat. Okay, sorry. We’re skipping. We’re skipping bake beans. Chop burnt ends. Uhhuh, you put the burnt ends of the burnt ends on there. You know what I mean? Can’t make hot dog burnt ends. So why don’t we just do hot dog burnt ends in a bun? What do you mean make hotdog burnt ends? What mean, what do mean? Do you make a hot dog burnt end? Have you been on the internet before? What people mean are making hot dog burnt ends mean like they’re, they’re chopping hot dogs, putting in a smoker with barbecue sauce. Yeah. And they’re calling it hot dog burnt ends. That’s not a burnt end. That’s just a chopped up hot dog. No, I, it’s a hot dog. Burnt end, I guess. Yeah. Etymologically, but I don’t know. Okay. Kentucky. KFC. You know, my parents only associate Kentucky with KFC, they Kentucky Fried Chat dog. They literally call it, they literally call it Kentucky Fried Chicken. They don’t call it KFC, they say the whole name. So it’s only acceptable what alternate pitch. Hot Brown. Oh, Kentucky Hot Brown. I like the way that the KFC sound. Just say it again. Kentucky Fried Hot dog. Say we just go for it. Or the hot dog brown. We could do that Hotdog. It’s again, roasted Turkey. Monet sauce. Bacon and tomatoes fine. Hot brown. Hot dog fine. Hot dog. Hot brown. Hot brown. Hot dog is good. Okay. Louisiana, I mean, hot jump. I’ve had a really good, very Louisiana hot dog. Tell me it’s from a spot, I dunno if it’s called Dirty Dog or something. Tell me about it. Uh, in, in New Orleans, but it literally just had like crawfish Mm. And it had like a crawfish remade just on this hotdog with like creole mustard and it was so, so, so beautiful. I think you need to, to nationalize that hot dog. You don’t do anything with boudan. Oh, do i? I do love. See, that’s the thing. I do love a boudan Now. I know. I know. Now go down to Lafayette. Get you a budin. Hey. Hey, babe. You sound like a firefly from, from Princess Tiana. Um, okay, so what do you wanna do? You wanna keep that one the cr I think. I think we do crawfish remade. It was such a good hot dog, man. On a bo On a boudan. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Maine Lobster. Lobster. Well, yeah. What do, what do you make a sausage outta the lobster? No. Uh, yeah. Yeah. What do they have? They also. Steamers up in Maine. What’s a steamer? Steamer? The clams. Big old steamers. Just steamed. Big old quahogs, not quahogs are from, from Massachusetts, I think. Yeah, Maine. You gotta go lobster. You just gotta go lobster. Gotta go lobster. Yeah. But then how does that differentiate from the Connecticut? Because this one will have mayonnaise. It’ll be cold lobster. Oh, and then it’s Connecticut style. Hot with butter. Hot butter. And this cold? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Then they’re gonna start a civil war and then America won’t be saved. Okay. Maryland. Hear me out. The bun is in the sha. It’s a crab cake. In the shape of a bun, we’re going Baltimore style and then crushed up u chips on top of like a nice 50 50 situation. Half beef ha, half beef, half pork. Well, what could be better? I think my only alternate with pitch would be Uhhuh, uh, because of the Greek population. Oh, shout out to Dun dog. Shout out to my boy Stave Haas. Okay. I think you put like a nice little Greek uh, stew on there. You do like a, like sdo or like Kapa ma ladle that right onto a hotdog and it’d be good, but I think your idea is probably better. Okay. Massachusetts. Why do we both have gas? Massachusetts? Okay. Baked beans. No. Just put the clam chowder on the hot dog. Send it out with some dunking. Everybody who buys a Massachusetts dog gets a free, a free dunk Ccino fine. Fine. Fine. So Michigan already has the Coney dog, which is great, I think. I think that the Michigan Coney dog might be the best hot dog in America. Oh, wow. That is, you know what I mean? That is that pony sauce. Sauce. Don’t know me. I’ve never had it before. It’s like a super like weird vinegary. Fatty. I like vinegar sauces. Loose chili on top of a Michigan Coney. That might be the perfect, I don’t know if there’s any other. Any other take there? Okay. Minnesota. Minnesota. You wanna do a tater tot hot dish? Do ya? That’s pretty good. Oh, she’d get a little Irish with her Minnesota accent bear to the tater tot hot dish. It’s not my fault. Do you want to put some snicker salad on top of your hot dog over here in Minnesota? I say we do. We just do a tater tot hot. It’s not even a, it’s not even a hot dog. It’s just a hot dish. Since per service, I agree with you Las. I feel like we’re both going insane. It’s just a casserole. There’s no bun. What do you mean? You had an open plate of french fries and cheese sauce. That’s, yeah. No, but that’s still the hotdog’s in the bun. It’s just covered with a bunch of crap. Oh, it’s in the bun? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I didn’t know that. Same as the Pueblo Slopper dog. I thought it was loose. No, I can’t have loose hot dogs rolling around that plate. But what if we do? What if we do? Okay, fine. What if you cook it in a hot dish, but then you serve it in a box? Oh, so smart. Yeah. Okay, great. Oh my god. A cream of whatever in there. Just yeah. A cream of whatever. Sort of scoop it out. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Get the tater tots in the bun. I’m so sold. Okay, great. Um, Mississippi. Comeback sauce, Mississippi Pot roast. I’ve always wanted to make a Mississippi pot roast with a mythical kitchen channel. That’s all I wanna do. You, we’ve never done it, right? No. I’ve always asked you in like different ways, and you’ve always said no, but it’s not like you’ve come to me in the last three years and said Josh made Yes. Have. Please make a Mississippi look at the recipe. At any given point, you can come in and make a Mississippi Pot roast and we’ll figure out a way to put it on camera. This is got, it’s got like pickled. There’s like a, a packet of aju, a packet of ranch, and a whole entire jar of those like really good pepper peppers. The yellow ones? Yeah. Oh, just breeze. Beef pepper. Mm. Mississippi, what else are they known for? Uh, red hot tamales, I think in the Mississippi. Delta Hot tamales comeback sauce apparently was invented in Mississippi. Okay, so comeback sauce with Mississippi pot roast. So sold you. That’d be so good. Uh, Missouri. I don’t know anything about Missouri. I’m so sorry. Wait. Oh my God. I just realized we did Kansas City style barbecue for Kansas despite the fact that Kansas City, Missouri is the only Kansas City that people actually recognize. And the fact that I lived there for four years. You lived in Kansas City, do you not know that? When, how old were you? Seven. I was born in Columbia, Maryland. No, like from like zero to like five. I lived in Kansas City, Missouri. Oh my God. I have one conscious memory of eating falafel and that’s it. And I, and the spot spot’s still open, so we should, I don’t think we, I don’t think falafel could be read by Missouri. Okay. So did I, so Kansas City’s in Missouri, not in Kansas. Well, it’s both, but like Casey Mo is like the, the sort of more recognized part of Kansas. So should we take the Kansas City dog? No, because I think now we focus on St. Louis. St. Louis misery. Toasted ravioli. Toasted ravioli. Al provel cheese is also okay, so it should be, it should be like a pasta. It should be like a pasta pizza dog. Yeah, kinda like, like a maan in there. You put some provel cheese, sausage, sausage and Italian sausage sausage. That’s great. I’m sold as long as the Provel ISS on there. I think we’re good. Montana. They got a lot of H huckleberries. Oh, they have something. Yeah. So this is something I found on Food Network. It’s not verified or anything like that, but something called Hoot Dogs, which is a deep fried hotdog dipped in fry bread dough. Oh, and fried. And basically with a little side of huckleberry like compo. Yeah, right Red again, I Montana homage and Native Americans. To be fair, I googled the hell out of hoot Dogs didn’t find much, so this might be fake. Sorry about that. So is Colorado Mountain style Pizza, but we still, uh, honor it. It’s not fake. It’s not fake Colorado dog. It’s, it’s not fake Nebraska. Um, AZA Ronza. It’s gotta be Aza hot dog. So just put it, shove it inside Aza. Shove it in Aza. Well tell ’em what AZA is. If they don’t know. AZA is like, is like a sand. It’s like a long sandwich, I think is the only way to say it. You tell owner a chicken bake, it’s it’s like a, yeah, it’s like a chicken bake with, uh, beef, cabbage and onions. Yeah. They’ll, they, there’s a, a. Fast food chain called Ronza, but that’s what everybody gets from there. I remember. Yeah. Yeah. I remember Tim Wa went there on the campaign trail. He is like, we’re here at Ronza. Uh, there’s 80 locations in Nebraska and it’s something that only Nebraskans seem to recognize. It’s basically like a, a homemade hot pocket. Right. I bet it’s delightful. I would love to go to a Ronza. Um, yeah, just shove a hot dog in there. If they also invented the Ruben in, I don’t, Lincoln, Roma. I don’t know one of them somewhere, but Omaha style Pizza, that’s where it’s at. Okay. Um, Nevada, um, they have a lot of bask people there. So we should put some, yes, they do. We should put some corn tongue and some oxtails and some lamb. Reno is also home to the world championship rib Cookoff you every year. The Reno rib Cookoff. Do you think we should just do like a crazy opulent hot dog for Nevada? Gotta be. Just put it in Vegas. Okay, fine. So we’ll do a Vegas dog gold leaf. Gold leaf caviar. Uni blue Una put some endangered species on there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. You know people at Gordon Ramsey can uh, hand it outpost eggs. Yeah. Hand it out to the F1 drivers during the Vegas Grand Prix. I think that’s Nevada at this point. Okay, fine. So, no, sorry. Or team up with the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. Sorry. Stop talking about the bunny Ranch. Every time we talk about Nevada, it’s a formative part of my childhood. He just showed it on hbo. I knew you were gonna talk about it. I knew you were gonna bring it up again. Weird. New Hampshire. I don’t know anything about New Hampshire. Live free or die or is that Vermont? I don’t know. What is, what does New Hampshire have? New Hampshire? I think a lot of Libertarians maybe? Or is that Vermont? I really don’t know. One of them is like, so New Hampshire has like boiled dinners, poutine, clam. I don’t, it doesn’t have much in terms of like Food. New Hampshire has culture has I, well, they’re very small. That’s like asking what is, you know, like Bakersfield’s food culture. It’s like, you know, the same population as probably in Bakersfield as New Hampshire. I had no idea that all the news were just New England. Until very recently. Did you know that? No, it’s not all. It’s New Mexico? No, no, no, no. Like all the news up there. Like what? Like New Jersey, New Hampshire, all that stuff is new. New Jersey is not New England. No, it’s not. No. New York all used to be called New Amsterdam ’cause it was new. New Netherland. Oh really? Is that? What? Which one? Gangs of New York. New Amsterdam. There’s a movie. Yeah, I think she’s called Amsterdam. Oh, is it New Amsterdam’s a vodka. I’m so, that’s what it is. God, I miss vodka so much. New Hampshire. I’m so sorry. New Hampshire and New England. I’m sorry. I thought the New England Patriots was like a full, like, where’s New England? I was like, oh, it’s up there. What is up there? But like it singular. I didn’t know it was a combination of things. Yeah, it’s like Rhode Island, Massachusetts. I didn’t know until very recently. I’m sweating. Um, so New Hampshire Pass. Sorry. New Jersey. Easy. New Jersey has one, doesn’t it? Well, so they have the Ripper dog, which is just a deep fried hot dog. But yeah, they also have something called an Italian hotdog. Mm-hmm. Where you deep fry? I think you deep fried the hot dog. Oh, the pizza. Oh, the pizza dough thing? Uh, yeah. Typically I think sometimes pizza, sometimes it might just be a bun. Okay. But you like slice it open and you put fried potatoes, peppers, and onion. Yes, yes. Pod, dog, whatever condiments like that is. Let’s with some of the top regional hotdogs, let’s just keep it a hundred percent. I agree. New Mexico. We already kind of burnt green chili on. That’s what I was saying. I didn’t that well. You knew red chili. Do red chili do so, so chili Colorado. So no. Do like a green chili cheeseburger divorce. Cis. Oh my god. Christmas style. Yeah. Okay. Christmas style. Christmas style is what they call it. Uh, in New Mexico. Oh, really? Which is the green and the red. Well, they don’t wanna promote divorce. It makes totals. But they wanna prove, but they wanna pro promote Christmas time. I think that’s beautiful. Do it like, okay, great. Uh, and like enchiladas, half green fine, half red. Fine. There’s probably more stuff in New Mexico. We’re going so quick on this if we miss very obvious things. I’m so sorry. Sorry. Uh, New York. Just keep it man. Perfect Hot dog. A nice, a nice rez. Dirty water hotdog. A little bit of mustard. Bob’s young uncle Betty’s your aunt. That’s what they say over there. Right? Who’s they? They say what? In New York? They say Bob’s your uncle Betty’s your aunt in New York? I think so. About what? Just, you know, just to like finalize, just to pass the time. Just to finalize You say, you say one hot dog with mustard crowd onions. They say Bob’s your uncle Betty’s your ran. I’m walking in, it’s like, it’s like alright. It’s like alright. You know I don’t, I don’t know. Normally they just call me boss man. The ba buck boss man. Okay. North Carolina, the Carolina dog. Yeah. They got one done. What do they put? They put a like cole slaw barbecue sauce on a hotdog. Let’s see. The Carolina dog is a shared, um, between the two Carolinas. Did you know that you’re, you’re calling for Carolina Unification? No, I’m not. I’m not. I’m saying that maybe I am. Yeah, maybe they should. I think we can do that. Do you think that’s gonna create a problem with North Carolinas and South Carolinas? No, I think they’ll like, do they like each other? Hey, sound off in the comments. If you’re from North Carolina and you love your South Carolina brothers, just give ’em a hug. Yeah. It’s chili slaw and onions. It’s, it’s common in both North Carolina and South Carolina. So maybe we don’t need to come up with new ones for either of them. No, unless South Carolina we wanna go like the Gullah Geechee route. You know, do like pay homage to, we could go up the Gullah Geechee route. I would love, there was a Nickelodeon show about Gullah Geechees, which I really, gull Island. Interesting. Incredible show. Well, it’s a fun time. 10 outta 10 show North Dakota. Um, what about it? Where is it? What’s that thing they do in the Dakotas Chisel? Oh, I was thinking, well, whenever I was doing my research, I saw there was a lot of German and Russian food, so it was like hot dog poodle. Piero, but I like Chisel, which is Turkish. Chisel is Turkish, but I think it’s more like a ottoman. So they were probably in the Balkans at the time. Okay. Because I think Chisi, it’s like sleek, which is sleek. Has, yeah, I think, but also has commonalities in like Balkan cuisine. Okay. But then that made it over. It’s basically just grilled meats on toothpicks. So Chisik dog. Yeah, but what are you gonna do? Grill the hotdog on toothpicks and then put it in the bun. That’s weird. No, you put the chisel on top. I feel like there’s gotta be bets on it. Oh my God. No. Beets. Like bee. Like beets? Yeah, like Like a Russian like bee, like beet horse radish. Like something real Russian. Okay. I think beet horse radish. And chopped. No, Chis, you know, you know, I don’t know North Dakota, so I’m so sorry. We haven’t put testicles on one. I’m waiting for South Dakota to put testicles on it. South Dakota’s has testicles. Okay. Um, Ohio. So Ohio has, its Cincinnati and the Cleveland. But do you wanna make a new one? You what Do you want a a Columbus. A Columbus style? Johnny Martti dog. Sure, let’s do it because Yeah. Cleveland. So Cleveland Colo, so, so Cleveland, Cincinnati, and now Columbus. Cincinnati has the, Coney Cleveland has the Polish Boy, which is a great hotdog, right? Yes. It’s very delicious. If I’ve had it before, uh, what is it? It’s like french fries on a, on a broad or a kielbasa. I think it’s a brat. Um, it’s a, it’s a fantastic time layer of sauce. No, it’s a kielbasa. I’m sorry. Barbecue sauce. Um, but yeah, no, this, we were putting whole macaroni, we’re putting straight macaroni on it. Yeah, I mean that makes the most sense. Do you wanna put some stadium mustard on there? The only reason I know about Stadium Mustard is ’cause I dated a guy that was from Ohio, and that’s the one Relic I remember. I think I remember it from the Drew Carey show. Oh yeah, stadium. So should we put it on just Johnny Marti, which is just a ground beef, tomato macaroni, slop. Stadium Mustard cheese, boom. Done onions if you want. Oklahoma. Well, they have the onion burger, which is iconic, but chicken fried steak also from Oklahoma. Okay, I was gonna save chicken fried steak for Wyoming. We can do that. Okay. But I like the idea of an onion burger, but an onion hotdog with some fried okra and blackberry piece on it. Fried okra what? Oklahoma fried okra and blackeyed peas. Well, you don’t like that. I don’t know. Is that Oklahoma? When I Googled it, it was, I had the best bowl of Bun hu in my life in Oklahoma City at fuck. I say We pay homage to fuck, fine. You wanna do a, and we put some coagulated pork blood in a whole, uh, you wanna do a Oklahoma FI feel like, I feel like people, I can’t say it. I feel like people wouldn’t like that. I feel like Oklahoma. We, we gotta pay homage to like the onion and American cheese of an Oklahoma burger. Okay. Create a new product called a Smash dog. Smash dog. Just create a hot dog and just smash it onto the griddle with a bunch onions. Well, I think what they would do is they would just get the pink slime from the hot dogs uncased. Oh, that’s smart. Just an Oh, like a flat? Yeah. Almost like a bologna balog. Oh yeah. Oh, that’s fun. You like it? I like that. All right. He, he approve. I like that. Flat hot dog. Flat onion. Hot dog. Okay, next up Oregon. Oregon has the third most vegans per capita. I say we do a vegan dog. Who was the first, who’s beating? Oregon? Um, Nevada and California. Really? Yeah, but I didn’t want Nana, but I didn’t want, yeah. When I, again, at the bunny ranch, they’re vegans. Oh, that’s crazy. Um, yeah, Oregon. I say we make it a vegan dogs. This is coming outta Portland for sure. Yeah. Some of the weirdest, most special food I had was out of Portland, so I think it makes the most sense. They have a lot of Marion berries. They have a lot of mushrooms. They have Walla Walla onions. I had the best pimento cheese of my life in Portland. Maybe that’s just a personal thing. Forage ramps, stinging nettles, pickled Marion berries. Done make it. Make it done and dusted. Okay. Philly dog. Come on. For Pennsylvania, Philly dogs. Uh, I mean like you can get like a pretty normal, the hot dog in Philadelphia. Big Italian culture there. Mm-hmm. Um, lot. A lot of street hotdog. Mm-hmm. Uh, I think though you play to the provolone broccoli, Rob. Oh, hot dog. I think that’d be wonderful. And a hotdog. There’s also a big Amish population. There’s a lot of fun cured meats. You could go. Pay homage to Lancaster County. Get some Lebanon bologna. Okay, I say you wrap a hotdog in Lebanon. Bologna. Okay. You know I hear you out. Put some, put some provolone broccoli rum on there. On an Amarillo roll. On an Amarillo roll. I think you should do that. Okay. It’s always sunny in. We have to name it. We have to name this one. Fill a dog fee. You’re so smart. You’re so smart. You’re so, you’re so on top of it. Uh, Rhode Island. Um, pizza strips at calamari. What else is Rhode Island? Have stuffies? What’s in, what’s in PE town? What’s going on in Providence? I don’t know. I don’t, I don’t know anything. What’s a stuffy? Is that a stuffed clam? Yes. You take the stuffies that you put on top of it, you take the stuffies that you from clam strips. Listen to me. Good. You take the stuffies. Okay. The stuffing. That is the stuffies, but you just take it all out and then you put it on top like a grandma on top of your hot dog. That’s fun. I have a, so trying to think of like where like immigrants came from and patterns. Lot of, I think it has the highest Portuguese population. Oh, like tic pizza? I, yeah, I assume that’s, yeah, I haven’t seen that in a long time. But they were Portuguese. Yes. Incredible. So, uh, Rhode Island, we do something like a salt cod rod, uh, Portuguese to Dominic salt joint. Do you wanna draw? Do you wanna do a balal dog? I mean, we do a balala hotdog. I think we just do like a nice salt cod brandade, you know, on top of that bad boy. Call it a day, you know, if it makes you happy, it does make me happy. So we have the Carolina dog for South Carolina. Yeah, but I, when I was Googling it. Let me tell you, they had something called she crab soup. Yeah, that’s the, the row of a crab row. So literally the girly girls would go into the soup. I say we just make that into like a nice thick sauce that you put on top of a hotdog. She crab hotdog serve it like a french dip. She, oh, that’s a good idea. I feel like that’d be so incredible. Oh, that’s a really good idea. Okay. I’m willing to meet you. But I feel like we should all, there’s also barbecue. ’cause for Carolinas, both of them are known for a whole hog barbecue. Right. Okay. How about this? How about we have a side of Carolina gold ho uh, Carolina Gold barbecue sauce, and then a side of she crab soup. But is that a South Carolina thing? The, the mustard base? Or is that North Carolina? Because there’s, one of them is like West Carolina based and I’m like, I don’t know. There’s no West Carolina. I don’t want, no, there’s a western part of the Carolina is, there’s just no state called Western Carolina. But, but state Borderers don’t exactly, you know, fully follow a culture. And so one of them. Does like a ketchup base barbecue sauce. One of ’em does a mustard base barbecue sauce, and then one of them just puts like chilies in vinegar with salt, which I think is actually a very good time. And I we Pork? Pork, the whole pig. It’s a South Carolina thing. Carolina Gold. Oh, perfect. Yeah, put it on there. So what is our final South Carolina hot dog pull Pork klaw Uhhuh Carolina Gold barbecue sauce. But what about the sheet crab soup? I want it decided. Sheet crab soup like a shoot. We dipping like a shooter. South Dakota Corn and soybeans. Mother effer putting commodity crops on here. I mean, what? Yeah. Um, South Dakota also does a fair amount of cattle raising. I think this is where we’ve been waiting to break out the fried testicles. I think you wanna put testes on South Dakota. I wanna put testes on South Dakota. We could either. Listen, we’ve made a testicle. You could do a testicle chili. Be good. No, no. I don’t like, no, it should just be fried. Rocky Mountain Fried. Rocky Mountain Oysters put on top of the hot dog. Okay. Whatever condiments on you want. Make it simple. Don’t pick it. Okay. Tennessee Nashville Hot Chicken dog. Gotta be. Yeah. Gotta be right. I mean, Memphis, Memphis style barbecue is also big, but you’re gonna get a lot of different barbecue hotdog if we keep going down that road. I’ve been, oh, I’ve been to Memphis. Yeah, man. I’ve been what? Beale Street? Beal Street? Yeah. What it was called. I’d rather just do the Nashville Hot Chicken Dog. I think Nashville Hot Chicken Dog. I think that’s probably not to say I don’t love Memphis. I’d a good dip in the grease. Do you fry it first? You just dip it in the grease you, yeah, you gotta fry it. What do you mean fry it? Dip it in the grease. Yeah. Put little, uh, little pickles, little onions on it, on the side. Oh, you put it in between white bread. Oh, that’s fun. Yeah. Crisscross applesauce. You two hot. I don’t know, man. I feel like I’ve beat childhood poverty, so I never had to eat a hot dog and white bread again. ’cause that, that’s like the ultimate, it tastes so good. No dude. No, that is like the, you don’t like white bread with hot dog. The amount of relish juice that has seeped through that white bread, that’s reli into my reli problem. Not a bread problem. Well, sure. But I’m gonna want reli wet. I’m gonna wanna put wets on my hot dog and no matter what that comes through. And that is one of my like trigger foods. I can’t go back to eating hotdog and white bread. I mean, I will, but Texas, they have a Texas dog chili cheese. Jalapeno sounds pretty basic. I say we do a tex mix. Could you do a TexMex or like, but, or just a tamale with a weenie garlic ADA on there. Or a tam tamal weenie. Tamal weenie. I feel like a Texas hotdog though. I feel like it’s pretty close to what this is saying. I think it would have to be like a foot and a half long. Okay, fine. Because everything in Texas, I’ve bigger in Texas, you know Nacho cheese. Okay. Chili like Texas Chili. Chili is invented. Be a tamale. Please, please, please, please. We could just put it it in a tamale. It’s hot. Dog, dog. No, it’s a hot dog. That is in Masina. Sure. Steamed. You remove it from, from the car base and then you put nacho cheese on it and then Yeah. That feels more difficult than just putting it in. Well, Texas is about being difficult sometimes. You gotta stand your ground. I, I’m sure they have stand your ground laws in Texas, but I don’t know if this applies to hot dog. Fine. You got a tamale hotdog on Texas. Yay. With not your cheese. Uh, Utah. No drugs. No sex before marriage. No caffeine on the hot tub. No premarital. I’m out. Just kidding. Uh, Utah fry fry sauce. No fry sauce is from, don’t they do fry sauce in Utah? It’s just to make sure of mayonnaise and ketchup, but they call it fry sauce. Sounds like’s every sauce ever. A hundred percent. But they call it that. Uh, but no, I think that might also be, I’ve had it in Spokane before, so you, me out might go up that corridor. No, hear me out. You’re gonna do a crumble cookie with a hot dog in it. And then mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup, relish. And the sell’s out. Alternate pitch Hawaiian haystacks. I don’t know what that is. What’s you know about Hawaiian haystacks outta Utah? Explain it, explain it. Uh, rice-based dish topped with chicken gravy, diced pineapple, tomatoes, crunchy Chinese noodles, celery and coconut. Put all that on. Hot dog. Come to Utah or it’s just dirty soda. Just a hotdog served in a thing of caffeine-Free Mountain Dew with, we’ll go with Hawaiian hay international hay stack. But, but do you think it’s fair to Utah to name their hotdog after another state? I mean, they have the second most amount of Mormons for any state. Right. Who has the first Utah for sure. I’m saying Hawaii. Oh, they do? I I would bet. Are there a lot of Mormons in Hawaii? Do me a favor? I’ve never been, I dunno, I dunno. Anything about that. Uh, Vermont. We could have done funeral potatoes as well. Shout out Utah. Okay. Vermont Maple syrup. Pancake dog. Yeah. Gotta have Maple or Ben and Jerry’s ice cream pipe. No. Do one of those like sweet. Also we, we totally miss like certain places have regionally specific actual hot dogs. Like Rhode Island has that like red hot dog. The Yeah. You know what I mean? Like a red hot. Yeah. Isn’t Has Rhode Island Red Hot? I think it might be. New Jersey isn’t New Jersey. There’s a red hot and a white hot. I think it’s native to New Jersey, I think. No, I’m pretty sure Rhode Island has a weird dyed red hot does it that we gotta use in there. But yeah. Vermont. Get like a sweet hot dog, you know? Mm-hmm. Put, boil it in maple syrup. Pull it out. No, you kids love it. No, you don’t need to boil it in maple syrup. What are you? A sicko Sit in like wet. Like they have it in dirty water. In New York, in Vermont, you get a dirty syrup dog. Oh my god. I do not agree with that at all. Whatever maple syrup. Pancake dog, I think is a good way to sell it. Sorry, Vermont. It’s like get cheddar cheese too. Maple syrup, cheddar cheese, boom. Vermont cheddar. Great. Um, Virginia. Probably good. Probably really good Brunswick. So dog. So Brunswick Stew, comma Dog, Brunswick Stew is kind of like a, you take all the odds and ends of like a barbecue plate. I always thought it was squirrels. Oh, probably is Brunwick probably made originally with St. Squirrel, I would bet. Um. Is that a, that’s like I’m in, that’s not a like a, I think I’ve had things at barbecue restaurants called Brunswick Stew. Interesting. That is probably not, you know, the original, it’s like mock turtle soup. Once all the turtles were hunted out of existence. Uhhuh? Well, yeah, it says you. I started making it with like calves brains. Brunswick stew is a tomato-based soup generally involving local beans, vegetables, and originally small game meats such as squirrel rabbit, though today often chicken, an exact origin of the soup is disputed. Okay. Okay. So we’re looking at Mormon population by state. But wait, but Maggie does this due. By population? Like by percentage of population? No. Okay. Wait, do we have it? Wait, yes. Yeah. Can we do percentage of population? So the highest percentage is Utah with 61%. Okay. And then Idaho 23 or Wyoming. Wait, what percentage of Hawaii is Mormon? This is really important to me. 5.21%. Yeah, it’s actually not that high. I think I just know a lot of Mormon Pacific Islanders from California. I see. Yes. That adds up. Um, Virginia. Oh, sorry. Washington. Washington. So I know that you just went and they have a great Seattle dog, which is delicious. But I know that you just went there and that you had some bombass teriyaki. I did have a lot of bombass teriyaki, a lot of Bombass teriyaki. So there’s a large population that makes teriyaki there. Correct. So should we do a teriyaki dog? I think you do a teriyaki dog, but ter dog. But we, we do have to shout out the Seattle dog. A hotdog split in half. I had always heard from people that, like the Seattle dog’s not really a thing. People just kinda said, we put cream cheese has creamies on it. Right? Yeah. There’s like a lot of places that I walked by. Mm-hmm. Even if it is a new thingd thing to serve tourists who kind of believe it exists. Like I, I’ve had a, I had a lot of like. Bacon cream cheese, jalapeno. Yeah. Uh, and like, you know, sometimes barbecue sauce, sriracha, whatever, hotdog that were like delicious in Seattle. Right. So I think we stick with that. Or could do a Terry dog. Okay. Let’s stick with it. West Virginia. I pass. Okay. So West Virginia has a very, I, I did my research on this one. West Virginia has a lot of kudzu plant all over. It’s actually quite invasive. Oh. And I say we just eat the kudzu. We just steam it and we cook it, and we broil it, and we braise it, and we just put it all over the damn hot dog and that’s it. Yeah. You, you eat your way out of an invasive species. I like that. It’s, have you seen a pic? Have you ever seen a picture of kudzu? No. What does kudzu root look like? It is incredible. It takes over the entire, it is an insanely invasive Oh, that’s what that thing’s called. Yeah. Yeah. Look at it, it, ah, you’re gonna have to eat a lot of hot dogs to get rid of this stuff, man. Don’t. Well, that’s what this is about. This is about helping our fellow states from their problems and their app perils, what is the first word of United States of America? S United. That’s right. Um, is this making you more or less patriotic? Actually, more like legitimately most we’re gonna see U usa actually the most patriotic that I am is when I think about local food cultures. Yes, that’s right. That have existed for a long time. Right. People like actually telling their stories of like, Hey, my family has been in, you know, uh, say Virginia for several hundred years. Right. And this is a. Um, a dish that goes back to my great grandma or like Minnesota and hot dish. Right? Sure. People be like my Norwegian great grandmother mm-hmm. Has been making LSA the same way in Minnesota. And passing it down through the Methodist Church. Cookbooks like that genuinely, genuinely makes me patriotic. Good. You know, for people who think that American food culture is only sort of capitalist exports like McDonald’s and Starbucks taking over the entire world. Mm-hmm. No. There’s a lot of cool stuff and it’s easy to roll your eyes at things like frog’s eye salad from Utah or whatever. But that’s like genuine, uh, culture in Americana and everything as a story. So this is making me more patriotic. What about you? Wisconsin? Cheese. Cheese in the dog. Cheese in the hot dog. Cheese in the hot dog. Cheese on top. Cheese on top. Put cheese on the bun. Cheese on the bun. You’re all right. Beer brought beer. Cheese. Beer battered cheese curds. Boom. Oh, cheese cur. Beer and cheese, baby. That’s what Wisconsin does. And then finally, Wyoming. I was gonna do chicken fried steak. Maybe some bison. I say you put some bison chili on a chicken fried hotdog. Mm-hmm. Call it. That’s Wyoming culture baby. Call it the Cheyenne Cowboy. I’m so in.

I’m gonna call it con. Why do you call it con? Because I went to The Bahamas and they called it con. They call it con there in The Bahamas. Interesting. But that has nothing to do with the Virgin Islands. My dad loved Key West and he called it Oh yeah. And he called it conk because of that. Great. But I think like most of the world calls it conch. I don’t know. But anyways, yeah, put some conk on it. What else? We got Northern Mariana Islands. I’ve never heard of it. Um, if you’re from the Northern Mariana Islands, write in, let us know what you want to see on a hotdog. And if you’re from any of these states.
