Santa Rosalia Style Hot Dogs

Galley Wench's Note:

Santa Rosalia is a small Mexican mining town located on the coast of the Sea of Cortez (Baja Side). Their claim to fame is a church built by Gustave Eiffel and their hot dogs! At dusk every night, a street cart parks across from the church and sets up for business. Their hot dogs are wrapped in bacon and served on a slightly sweet bun, with a 'sea' of condiments to choose from. They are, by far, the best hot dogs I've ever eaten! NOTE: So far I've not been successful in replicating their buns, but this recipe is still wonderful with a high quality store bought buns (such as Sara Lee Soft and Smooth Buns) or Hamburger or Hot Dog Buns ! UPDATE: I've been making them on a griddle on the stove top and it works great. Serve with Pico De Gallo UPDATE: Found that these can be made very successfully on a griddle on the stove top!

Oh man! It's hard following GailAnn with photos,lol!!! But, this was a great recipe. I rarely have hot dogs anymore except at football games. I've never had one wrapped in bacon before, but this was great. My first standard for a good sandwich is that it needs to be messy. This certainly fits the bill. Really good toppings that I totally enjoyed. Thanks Galley Wench for a nice diversion from the norm. Made for Best of 2010 Tag.

Great topping! This really dressed up the hot dog nicely. I used the optional cheese and jalapenos. The flavors were great! Thanks for sharing!
