In a dutch oven, saute the onion in the olive oil until tender but not browned. Tabasco sauce to taste (I use about 12 shakes) So if you can't travel there, make your own at home.Ģ T crushed red chili pepper (medium hot) No one should die without trying a West Virignia hot dog. This hot dog tradition even trickles into eastern Kentucky where you can find numerous worthwhile examples such as Crisp's Dairy Treat and the now out-of-business Dairy Cheer (Home of the Smashburger). I admit that some of my favorites are Stewart's Original Hot Dogs in Huntington, WV, and Sam's Hot Dogs in many locations throughout the Tri-State region. West Virignia-style sauce is a mild, tomato based meat sauce, and you can find numerous awesome classic examples from Fairmont to Huntington. There are canned varieties-which are NOT the same-but after the Castleberry botulism debacle of 2007, I don't know of anyone who will try them. It is not chili sauce (even though it does have chili powder in it). The hot dog sauce I remember from my youth can't be purchased at the grocery. In my opinion, the only way to truly enjoy a hot dog is to prepare it boiled, in a steamed bun, with mustard, finely diced onions, a heaping helping of hot dog sauce and topped with a creamy slathering of cole slaw. That is that hot dogs, and more often than not, pork bbq sandwiches are topped with a generous helping of mayonnaise-based cole slaw. West Virginia lies above the "slaw line". They differ from hot dogs further south and to the northeast. West Virginia style hot dogs are always all-beef dogs. And among the things that West Virginia is famous for are her hot dogs. It actually has a unique culinary tradition. It is, more so than Kentucky, the place I think of as "home".īut West Virginia is more than rolling hills and hillbilly accents. I even lived there for a very short while before graduating from Marshall University (We are Marshall!). I spent countless summer days visiting family in West Virginia.
Entering West Virginia from Kentucky will see you moving from rolling hills into sharper inclines until finally, you can drive into hills so steep that the road cut might not see daylight until the sun is directly overhead. West Virginia, for those who've never been, is just as the song advertises.
