Perros Calientes (Venezuelan Hot Dogs) #EattheWorld

A popular street food in Venezuela, these hot dogs are dressed with cabbage, onions, and crunchy potato sticks, then drizzled with a savory sauce.

We are traveling to Venezuela today as we Eat the World.......

As you are reading this, I am in Greece with family and friends, hopefully relaxing poolside in warmth and sunshine.  Knowing I would be on vacation for this event, I made my dish and scheduled this post in  Mid-May, when the weather was not the best in Michigan.

Let's take a look at the Venezuelan recipes the others are sharing today......  

• Carne Mechada (Venezuelan Shredded Beef) by Amy's Cooking Adventures
• Perico by Culinary Cam
• Perros Calientes by A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Venezuelan Pollo Mechado (Shredded Chicken) - Keto by Sneha's Recipe

These are just regular hot dogs, cooked as you desire.  What makes them special is the toppings.  I made a tray and let my family add the toppings they desired.  Frank and I enjoyed ours with the works, while Melissa just added the sauce and potato sticks to hers.

Traditionally, hot dogs are boiled, but I just can't deal with them that way for some reason.  I broiled mine, which is my alternative when I'm unable to grill them.  I loved the toppings on these hot dogs.  For some reason, dressing up a hot dog makes it feel more like a meal than a snack to me.
