UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS HOT DOG, THIS ONE DOES HAIL FROM THE CITY FROM which it takes its name. The story goes that it’s from the old KC favorite Dog Nuvo, but it can be found at diners and hot dog joints across the city, slathered in the region’s signature sweet and sticky barbecue sauce.

Ingredients

Method

Prep

Prepare Kansas City barbecue sauce, or use store-bought.

Assembly

Get out a classic bun. Grill an all-beef hot dog as instructed. Place the dog in the bun. Top with a handful of burnt ends, a slathering of barbecue sauce, and a handful of pickle slices.
