The New York Style Hot Dog

It's the most wonderful time of the year - opening day for major league baseball. I can't think of a better meal to begin this season with than the New York Style Hot Dog. This scrumptious hot dog is bursting with the same delectable flavors of New York City's corner stand hot dogs, minus the boiling in dirty water flavor. So delicious, you will want to make these mouth-watering hot dogs throughout the season while rooting for your favorite New York team.
