Although it is called Italian, it actually originated in New Jersey. It is one of the easy recipes as you start by deep-frying your hot dogs and then putting them in Italian rolls or pizza bread. For its distinct flavor, add potatoes, onions, and bell peppers.

Bagel Dog

Instead of being in a hot dog bun, this style wraps the hot dog in bagel-style bread. There are no toppings in this recipe, as it’s made by steaming and covering the wiener with bagel dough and then sprinkling sesame or poppy seeds over it. Grill it and you will get yourself a tasty bagel dog.

New York Hot Dog
