If your grocery store under-prioritizes hot dog rolls as much as ours does, you may end up with the lame white Wonder buns. Drizzle over your favorite grilled (George Foreman works just fine) Polish or beef hot dog (we went with the NYC cart-style Kosher dogs, to add a little East Coast twist to this Mountain West institution) in the best hot dog roll you can find.Combine ingredients in a saucepan & heat just to boiling on medium heat.(Half of this recipe is plenty for 4-6 dogs) My friend Barbara somehow got the recipe - lives may or may not have been lost in the procurement of this secret - & gave it to me. & this is coming from someone who appreciates a good New York cart dog, so you know it must be true. Because we live so far away, the last time we were there was when The Munchkin was only 6 months old & barely eating rice cereal & sweet potatoes, so until now she had not experienced the rite of passage for every BYU fan that is… (We’re in start-cleaning-out-the-pantry-not-buying-more-jars-of-things mode now, so you need to use your imagination when it comes to the delicious condiments.)īack in Provo there is a legendary little establishment known as J-Dawgs. So in honor of the grilling holiday that is the 4th of July, & in honor of BYU’s declaration of independence, here is one hot dog that will change your life. Well, two.

That’s definitely something to celebrate too! This year the term “Independence Day” has taken on new meaning for us Cougar fans as well as of July 1st, BYU Football has gone Independent! That means that we East-Coasters will actually get to watch a few games for once. Happy Independence Day! Hopefully you’re enjoying your long weekend celebrating the birth of our amazing nation! We could see two fireworks shows from our balcony Friday night it made me feel so patriotic! I love the upswelling of pride & emotion I feel when singing “The Star Spangled Banner” (especially the third verse!).
