SUNNY'S EASY BLT HOT DOG
Steps:
- In a cold pan, add the bacon strips. Turn the heat to medium high and cook, flipping once, until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with the steak seasoning and sugar. When cool enough to handle, chop the bacon, but not to bits!
- Meanwhile, preheat a grill to medium high. Cook the hot dogs on all sides until slightly charred, about 6 minutes.
- Line the insides of each bun with slices of tomato (they should stick out slightly) and rest the hot dogs on top. Add the mayonnaise and use it to "glue" the lettuce and bacon on top.
SUNNY'S EASY CHICKEN PARM DOG
Steps:
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Put the hot dogs on the direct heat of the grill and cook until desired doneness.
- In a pan on medium heat, add the olive oil, breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt and few grinds of pepper. Toast, stirring, until the breadcrumbs soak up the oil and become golden, a few minutes. Toss in the parsley and basil off heat.
- Open each bun and stuff with equal amounts of mozzarella. Wrap in aluminum foil and place over the indirect heat of the grill (or in a warm oven, about 300 degrees F). Remove when a check inside reveals melted mozzarella. Spray the tops of each lightly with butter spray, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top of the buns, return to the grill or oven and cook until the tops are a bit crusty and stiff, a few more minutes.
- Put the hot dogs over the melted mozzarella in the buns. Top with pizza sauce and grated Parmesan.
SUNNY'S BULGOGI DOG
Steps:
- For the glaze: In a small bowl, mix the gochujang, honey, a few grinds of black pepper and a pinch of salt, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen to a glaze consistency.
- For the marinated veggies: In a bowl, toss together the rice wine vinegar, sesame seeds, chile flakes, scallions and carrots. Rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- For the hot dogs and onions: In a grill pan on medium heat (or on the grates of a grill on high heat), add the onions and a drizzle of olive oil. Brush the onions with the glaze and cook, moving them around, until charred and golden, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and give them a rough chop. Cover with aluminum foil.
- Add the hot dogs to the grill pan cut-side down and cook, flipping once, until heated through. On the flip, generously brush the cut side with the glaze. Remove from the grill and let rest with the onions under the foil.
- Dry toast the buns on each side. Add the onions to the buns first, then the hot dogs and some of the marinated vegetables.
SUNNY'S AWARD WINNING CURRY-STYLE DOG
Steps:
- Cook the wieners: In a large pan, add the butter, oil and onions and cook over medium heat until the onions have softened, about 6 minutes. Add the hot dogs and cook, stirring occasionally, until the hot dogs take on some color, about 5 minutes.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir the ketchup, honey, curry powder and a few grinds of black pepper until combined. Pour over the hot dogs and onions and cook until the ketchup color deepens and the consistency thickens a bit, about 5 minutes.
- Build the hot dogs: Add an equal amount of prepared fries to each opened bun. Top with an equal amount of the curry wiener mixture and a dusting of curry powder to finish. Serve.

Steps:
- For the bread: Preheat the grill to 400 degrees F.
- Lay out the dough on a work surface and sprinkle with the olive oil, parsley, rosemary, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Fold it over itself and roll out or just press with your hands to make a square that could fit four slices of bread, because that's the goal. (You will eventually want to cut this into fourths to serve.) Place on the direct heat of the grill and cook until it releases from the grill and is slightly golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until done, 5 to 8 minutes.
- For the bacon: Mix the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, zest and a few grinds of black pepper in a bowl. Press the bacon into this mixture and place on a piece of nonstick aluminum foil on the grill. Cook, without flipping, until the bacon is crispy, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the grill and roughly chop.
- For the tomatoes and lettuce: Brush the tomato slices and lettuce with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the tomatoes and lettuce directly on the grill and cook, flipping halfway through, until the tomatoes and lettuce are slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Build the sandwiches: Mix the mayonnaise, honey, lemon juice and sriracha seasoning in a small bowl. Chop the grilled tomatoes and lettuce. Add the chopped tomatoes to the bread and press them slightly into the bread, then add the chopped bacon and piles of lettuce. Drizzle with the sriracha mayonnaise. Cut into four pieces and serve.
