What about hot dogs in hospitality?

You serve them straight from the bain-marie, so they’re always ready to go. The same toppings and sauces you use on burgers also work great on hot dogs, so you don’t need a ton of extras. A gourmet hot dog—big, bold, and topped to the max—is a full meal. It’s easy to eat, making it perfect to serve at your venue, as takeaway, or standing at festivals and events.

And—and this is why this recipe works—you can vary endlessly. Change up the toppings or switch out a sauce, and you’ve got a whole new hot dog. While still using the same base bun and sausage.
