Hey guys welcome to Flat Top King today is all about a kickback relaxed easy hot dog on The Griddle phenomenal watch how we do it you saw the title right you saw the thumbnail right today we’re doing an old school classic Hot Dogs on The Griddle

Saw a comment a few months back that somebody was surprised that you could put hot dogs on The Griddle and just threw me for a loop as we’ve learned through the gdle group as we learned through the YouTube channel as we learn through the relationships we built with

You guys people are on whole different trajectories whole different levels when it comes to cooking hot dogs is no different not a lot of talking today I’m just going to enjoy a fantastic hot dog right the toppings are endless it really depends on the region you come from

Whether you like beef pork beef and pork whether you like Rippers and Splitters whether you like it spicy whether you like it red hot whether you like with chili whether you want a salad on it coela wrapped in bacon it’s endless right the base of a hot

Dog is what we’re here for today let’s just go after it we got some hot dog buns we got some sausage buns we got some Nathan’s Hot Dogs and we got some Johnsonville cheddar sausages like both of those all right to kick the video off we have a boiling water

Station throw all that juice in there if you’re going through a lot of hot dogs on Fourth of July and stuff like that it’s a great way to keep your hot dogs warm and then as people come through you can always finish them off on The

Griddle right here on the sheet tray we have some water in there we have a cooling rack basically you can see the steam producing and I like a soft bun so we’re just going to put these maybe like that side down for now Dome that to

Trap some of that heat and then we will be able to flip those over sausage buns same Thing [Applause] that smell that you’re getting from the grover right now is just a ESS classic that’s why I’m doing the video you know we’ve have hundreds of videos of like in-depth recipes where we start from the smoker we start from the crock pot or we

Start from a stock pot and work our way all the way up to the griddle even sometimes we have very invol griddle recipes this just warms the heart it’s just a hot dog on The Griddle there’s a thousands ways to do it we’re just going

To rotate them back and forth I love a nice crisp Char don’t be scared to add a little oil kind of help crisp up that skin steam in your buns Take two of those hot dogs that’s been boiled go ahead and start searing those off oh you know what I forgot to do in the whole video dang I wanted to save a hot dog and rip it right down the middle and then put my

Bacon press on and have like a split hot do that’s what I wanted to do but now that they’re already cooked I don’t want to open it up and lose all those juices that’s another way to do it too I like I kind of like that idea get that Char a

Little bit more Char on the inside some people like it some people don’t God Dam it when the holidays roll around and you guys are pumping out some serious food I highly recommend one of these we just bought it from like the local restaurant supply store you can look on Amazon I’m

Not going to link to it um you can find your own this is like dent and damaged cuz I don’t care it’s going to be on The Griddle nine times out of 10 everything in the restaurants didn’t damage anyways after heavy use but you find your cool

Spot you get that loaded down with some hot water and some dogs you can keep in things for a long time and then it gives you ton of real estate space you can do your Burgers you can toast your buns oh yeah look at that bad boy right

There take one of those nice steamed sausage buns oh yeah maybe just for a quick second while I’m getting everything ready regardless of what what you put on your hot dog I was surprised to see how much hate where they say there never should be katchup

On a hot dog and you guys know my philosopy if you like it you eat it little peppers and Onions come back in one of those Sausages I’m going to hit it with some of that Bren beer mustard woo the things are tender look at that splitter right there oh that’s perfect and just for the haters that that was going to be yours yeah oh you can’t do it I think I’m a hater too oh you can’t do

It Classic Dog where bu come to split a little bit better this is more my route right here yep Little Onion yeah fresh onion that’s one I want too yep we’ve got a fantastic video on homemade um homemade chili and we did chili cheese dogs now those were good homemade

Be specific homemade hot dog chili oh yeah yeah look how much more color you get on The Griddle holy smokes that’s like the original fair food nothing really else needs to be said just hot dogs on The Griddle just having fun add that extra flavor using the griddle for

What it’s worth not stressing over 35 different ingredients and 18 different steps I do think that the Buns on the steam thing is really key and also like like I said if you’re having like a ton of hot dogs going on at the same time

Start them off in that hot water um take that juice from the hot dog pack fill it in there and just keep rotating on The Griddle so you don’t have you know maybe like 30 or 40 hot dogs cooked at the same time and nobody’s coming to get

Them kind of just a good good way to keep them rotated through through the summer so there you go for the haters for the sausage lovers I’m kind of like a traditionalist yep that’s the one I want too I mean look at that [Laughter] bun oh man that steamed bun Got Juice

That hot dog is way better than boiled I agree it’s just a hot dog but when done right goly it’s so good it’s that Classic Fair peppers onions a little bit of seasoning and last but not least the one for the haters mix with a mustard ain’t half bad
