Guacamole Bacon Dogs
I’m normally not a fan of hot dogs but they were my Grandpa’s favorite food. We celebrated many a birthday for him with hot dogs and pie. Hey, the man knew what he liked. He passed away a few years ago and in an homage to him I decided to take his beloved hot dog and give it an update.
Here in LA, bacon wrapped hot dogs aka “Danger Dogs” are a big thing, so much so that they were illegal. I decided to go a bit lighter on the bacon and even it all out with LA’s other famous fave, avocado. Simple guacamole and a sprinkling of bacon takes this hot dog to new heights. Here’s to you, Grandpa.
