A Visit to the cousins in NJ and had a Hot Dog Differently than I ever had before

So we were going on a family vacation in Delaware and decided to invite ourselves to stay at my cousin's place in New Jersey to break up the trip.  My cousin Rob and Carole have always had a good sense of taste when it came to eating so we knew it would be a fun night.

I was promised the recipe for the char grilled Corn Guacamole that they first made.  when I get it I will pass it on to you guys because it was fantastic.  Nothing like fresh corn this time of the year.  And why not put it in everything.

We had some great pomagranite margaritas to wash everything down and realized that unless you go to a real unique place, there will be no better margarita than one you make yourself.  I have another restaurant report to write up about a New York City experience I had that had me drinking a Habanero Infused Tequila grapefruit margarita.  Fantastic yes.  But not something I want everyday.

So for dinner I was turned onto something I also had never had before.  Western BBQ cut London Broil.  I have never heard of this.  When I look at it, it looks like a flank steak.  But a thinner version of it.  It is a real juicy cut that grills real nice.  it also doesn't require a longer cooking time to make the meat softer.  Rob threw a whole bunch of spices on there including, cumin, Chili powder, garlic powder and a whole bunch of other good stuff.  Grilled over coals, the meat melted in your mouth.  Look for this cut.  you will love it.

But crazy as it sounds, the real treat came before the steak.  Rob said, "i will make you a hot dog like you have never had before"  He calls it a "Taco Hot Dog" and it is just that.  Except you don't have the tortilla or the ground beef.  Take a dog and a bun and then imagine it's a taco.  so what do you add?  Great Corn Guacamole, salsa, jalapeños, melted cheese.  Eat and enjoy.  Initially you look and think, all this on a Dog?  But then you eat it and it is delicious.

 Personally my favorite is a natural casing dog with deli mustard and sauerkraut.  I can eat those everyday.  But it's great to travel around an try different kind of dogs.  Chicago probably has the best selection around.  I've tried many different kinds there alone.

So I ask you my readers.  All Three of you.  How do you like your hot dog?  My kids still love it with Ketchup and it makes me mental watching them.

Let's hear it.  How do you like your dog?  Grilled?  Boiled?  Fried?  in beans?
