Bacon Cheese Dog

What is it?

Split lengthwise and grilled flat-side down, an all-beef frank gets topped with melted American cheese and strips of applewood-smoked bacon. That butterflied cut creates more browned surface than a standard steamed dog, and the cheese melts into the split rather than resting on top. Kosher-style all-beef casing gives it a firmer bite, and the chain's toppings bar is still available if you want to add more. Toppings cling to the sausage instead of sliding off, which is a nice side effect of grilling the dog open-faced.
