Outside our local Home Depot, I came across a fantastic hot dog cart. The buns are griddled, the chili is spicy and bean-laden. The American cheese was white and melted beneath the chili, forming a gooey cheese sauce. The fries were textured and super crispy. While the meal was a quick pick-me-up, it had me thinking of variations on the combination. Whether it is adding fries right to the chili cheese dog or poutine-ifying the fries by slicing the dogs into the chili and topping with a melted American cheese sauce.
