Now that August is here, it is time for hot dog dinner part II. Only one more month of acceptable hot dog eating! 😉
Remember the tijuana dogs? They were amazing, but when I saw this recipe inspiration, for a fresher, dare I say lighter, hot dog I knew it is how our last two grass-fed beef hot dogs would meet their bun.
We love real bahn mi sandwiches so I was honestly a little nervous that these wouldn’t live up to them and while they are different…these were really good. I know, I usually say that about anything that comes in contact with sriracha mayo, but I really mean it. Think spicy, smoky, crunchy and fresh flavors, all sandwiched between good bread.
I served them alongside a spicy cucumber salad, which was the perfect accompaniment.

I have to say that I’m not normally a hot dog fan but this is such a fun spin on them that I really want to try it!!
Emily
I’m not a huge hot dog person either, but the fun twists might turn me into one!! 🙂

Yum, that’s an awesome idea for a hot dog! I’m usually pretty traditional (seeing as I live in Chicago and all) with my dog toppings, but I’m always willing to venture out. And I agree- anything with Sriracha mayo is probably going to rock your face. 🙂
Amanda
Andy and I LOVE bahn mi. I bet we’d love these too! I really want to try your spicy cucumber salad too, do you have a recipe?
Emily
I’m still trying to perfect it – my Mom’s friend made some at a party that was cucumbers, hot peppers, rice vinegar, little sugar and tiny bit of fish sauce. They were like spicy pickles!
Jessica @ Healthy Dairyland
Looks like a refreshing twist to the summer hot dog! I love it! I’ve never had bahn mi before, but I think I’m going to have to try these hot dogs!
Holly @ The Runny Egg
I love hot dogs — and throw a spicy mayo on there and I’m sold!
Mercedes
Don’t you love Eating Well? And have you been to the Bahn Mi restaurant on campus? I have been there several times to get bubble tea, but never eaten there. I will have to try it after seeing your creation!
Nicole @ Making Good Choices
I love the idea of making a hot dog without just the standard bun. looks yummy!
Alex @ IEatAsphalt
I am really not a hot dog person but I’ve got to figure out a way to make bahn mi. Theres an awesome food truck in DC that sells the sandwiches at lunch that I am obsessed with (they also have pho… it makes my dreams come true).
Christine
I’m making pork and pate bahn mi’s for dinner tonight! If I don’t have the energy to do all that pickling and marinating and waiting, I may just have to make these instead!

Only one more month of acceptable hot dog eating – hilarious! What a great mix of cultures! 🙂
