TOP FIVE: 

HOT DOGS

A quintet of tasty things to try this month

 

THE KING

AT DOGHOUSE

COLLEGE PARK

Fit for a “king,” this dish features a skinless, all-beef Nathan’s hot dog served in a fresh semi-toasted bun and topped with beef chili, cheese sauce, bacon bits, onions, crushed Fritos, ketchup and mustard. The beef hot dog can be replaced with an Angus beef hot dog or a sausage, such as a smoked sausage, jalapeño cheddar sausage or craft beer sausage.

The King at Doghouse

THE COLOMBIAN PERRO

AT WILLY’S WIENERS

DOWNTOWN KISSIMMEE

Served on a poppy seed bun, this boiled Vienna Beef hot dog is loaded with bacon, homemade coleslaw, crushed pineapple, mayo, ketchup and mustard. It is then sprinkled with potato sticks for an added tasty crunch.

 

CHAR-GRILLED MAXWELL STREET POLISH SAUSAGE

AT PORTILLOS

THE VILLAGE AT O-TOWN WEST

Grilled the way it was done on historic Maxwell Street in Chicago, this Makowski’s Real Sausage is garnished with gobs of yellow mustard and sliced grilled onions. 

 

VEGAN FIELD DOG

AT HOT DOG HALL OF FAME

UNIVERSAL CITYWALK

This vegan alternative consists of a Field Roast dog with roasted corn, jalapeño vegenaise, vegan cheese, ancho chile, micro cilantro, fresh lime and is served on a hoagie roll.

 

DITKA DOG

AT CHICAGO DOG & CO. 

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS

A true fan favorite, the Ditka Dog consists of a deep-fried 1/3-pound Vienna spicy Polish sausage. The nearly 10-inch sausage is served on a 6-inch steamed poppy seed bun with yellow mustard and sautéed onions, as well as sport peppers for an added “kick.” 

 

RAISE A GLASS:

This classic rum cocktail is served with a flaming lemon cap floater. The combination of fresh mint, sugar, tart lime and fizzy soda water is perfectly refreshing on a hot summer night. 

 

BLUEBERRY MOJITO

AT RUTH’S CHRIS STEAK HOUSE

MULTIPLE LOCATIONS

A fun twist on the classic cocktail, this vibrant, fruity drink combines Bacardi Superior Rum and blueberries with a sweet burst of fresh mint and lime.  

 

TROPICAL MOJITO
