Hot Dogs with Grilled Coleslaw – a Food & Wine staff favorite



Hot dogs with grilled coleslaw are staff favorite at Food & Wine magazine. With the first taste they became a favorite of ours also. They are perfect to serve after a morning of tennis or golf and are sure to please the men as well as the ladies.

The hot dogs and slaw can be grilled outside or prepared on a stove top grill pan. It takes only seconds to cut a head of green cabbage into eight wedges, brush with a little oil, and grill for about three minutes per side until slightly charred. Meanwhile mix equal parts good mayonnaise and cider vinegar in a large bowl, add a few chopped jarred jalapenos peppers with a bit of their juice, and stir to make a dressing. As soon as the grilled cabbage cools a bit, shred and toss with the dressing, season to taste with salt and pepper, and your slaw is ready.

Throw some hot dogs on the grill and cook until lightly charred. Toast the hot dog buns, top with hot dogs and slaw, open a beer, and lunch is ready in about twenty five minutes of minimal effort. It can’t get any easier than this. This easy recipe can be found on line at the Food & Wine site. Click here for the recipe.

I thought I'd had ever form of coleslaw known but this is new. It sounds delicious! I'd never had coleslaw on a hot dog until I discovered the famous "Chicago" dog. Hope it will soon be warm enough to uncover the grill. We are still thinking hot soup!

Best,
Bonnie

Yummy hot dogs, they sound great with coleslaw!

Sam,

First off, I have never liked coleslaw. However, them darn dogs look so good, I'd pop the jalapeños in there and wolf 'em down, coleslaw and all. They look amazing! Especially since it is about 11:52 Am in Miami and I really need some lunch. All of a sudden I'm thinking hot dogs...Although, they won't be as good as yours.

Thank you for your friendship, it has been my distinct pleasure getting to know you. Every award I get is coming your way! Cheers!

Claudia said...

I will admit to loving a good hot dog during the summer - and only when grilled. The addition of the grilled cole slaw sounds perfect. Don't you love spring/summer cooking and the ease? Hugs through cyberspace coming your way.

Chef E said...

I could just jump through the screen and kiss you, then eat one of the dogs! Jalapenos too, oh girl you know how to dress up a dish, and I see a lager, make room cause here I come!

Penny said...

Boy, do those hot dogs look good. We can post all the gourmet dishes in the world, but post a picture of a great hot dog with slaw and the world is your oyster (so to speak). Now I want one. Hot dog, not oyster.

A Feast for the Eyes said...

OMG!!! I never thought of this combo, until you posted it. I love it, and so would my boys. I think I'll use polish dogs... super duper. Thanks!

BonjourRomance said...

Bonjour Sam,
Oh this hot dag with slaw looks so delicious. I'm going to make this, France may be known for food but they don't have anything close to this!
Hope you're having a good week,
Mimi

I am a big big fan of coleslaw and I could see how wonderful the combo would be with the dog. Perfect for a summer day by the pool.

Bridgett said...

My hubby would flip for these delicious looking hot dogs.

FOODalogue said...

If it's good enough for Food+Wine and My Carolina Kitchen, it's good enough for me! Seriously, looks really good and grilling the slaw is new to me.

Penny @ The Comforts of Home/Lavender Hill Studio said...

This sounds really good! I would have never thought to grill the cabbage for the slaw....

momgateway said...

I'm ready for a barbecue! Congratulations, Sam for your new awards!

Vicki Lane said...

Great idea! I've had a Caesar salad with grilled romaine but this is a new one to me.

Fresh Local and Best said...

Those hotdogs do look great!

lostpastremembered said...

Honestly, sometimes simple is best and this is an American classic for sure... awesome combination just in time for summer... thanks!

Velva said...

My husband would drool at the sight of these grilled hot dogs. These are perfect for an afternoon lunch. I love hot dogs too.

Yes. Chef E is coming my way next week. This will be the first fellow blogger I meet-what fun!

Bellini Valli said...

This sounds easy and delicious. It reminds me of the days when we used to go camping since I relate hotdogs to open fire pits and the great outdoors.

Barbara said...

Gorgeous photo of one of the great American foods! It's a food group all in itself!

And oh my! That toasted bun, Sam. It is a necessity!

Katie said...

Hmmm....grilled colseslaw?? That sounds really interesting! We may have to try that!

Mary said...

Sam, congratulations on your well deserved awards :-). You know, you've made me hungry for a grilled hot dog. That normally would be fine, but it's not yet eight in the morning here in Eugene. Ah, well! I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary

Ma What's 4 dinner said...

This looks like the greatest taste and texture combination! I just moved to CT and it seems to be the hot dog capitol of the US! Good thing I love them! I found you on Lazaro Cooks and I'm so glad I did. I'll be back soon and often!

excellent - this is kid bait but it works equally well on adults too I see..

T.W. Barritt at Culinary Types said...

Let's hear it for the hot dog! I have to watch myself around hot dogs with creative toppings ... I run the risk of eating myself into a coma!

Danielle said...

I sure could go for one of those right about now...I'm starving! And the toasty bun.....YUM!!!

Chow and Chatter said...

oh wow great hotdogs

Kim said...

Congrats on your awards!

I could definitely go for a great hot dog like this with that crunchy coleslaw topping. Sounds like the perfect lunch (or dinner)!

Sharlene T. said...

Hi. Thought I'd visit from Momgateway. What a great blog you have. Must run and check out all the articles but do come visit when you can...and, oh, you're welcome to stay, too!

vicki archer said...

Congratulations Sam, so well deserved....Have a great weekend, xv.

Brenda Kay Ledford said...

Sam,
These hotdogs and coleslaw look so good. I could just eat them off the screen. I enjoy your blog very much. You always post recipes that make me want to try them now.

theUngourmet said...

I love my hot dogs just this way! Yum!

Tangled Noodle said...

Congratulations on your awards!

These slaw dogs look amazing, but am I correct in recalling that coleslaw on hamburgers is a Carolina specialty? Oh, I'm having memory-induced cravings for these . . . 8-)

Nina Timm said...

This is good grub and I love adding the coleslaw to cut through the saltiness and fat of the sausages....
I have been without internet for a while, sorry I missed so many posts....

Chris said...

My all time favorite burger is Carolina style (mustard, onions, chili, and slaw) and that combo works great for dogs too.

But I do eat just dogs and slaw sometimes.

Penny said...

Hi Sam! This looks delicious! I enjoy your blog very much and have given you a Sunshine award. Please stop by my blog and pick it up....you deserve it! http://in-mimis-kitchen.blogspot.com

Hi Sam,
I could have used that Hot Dog Recipe when I had half the football team here last weekend. 'Though you can't imagine how many I need usually with four boys of my own!
Have a nice day, Therese

citronetvanille said...

I have to say that I am not really a meat eater, but your combination of ingredients and mouth watering photo could convert me!

Laura in Paris said...

Food and "Wine" magazine may say so .. but you prefer Lager - and I would too!

Jamie said...

Oh, Sam, now I can't wait to get to Florida this summer for good old All-American hot dogs on the grill. Brilliant with slaw. And so much congrats on the awards!
