Top 10 Hot Dog Styles in America You Need to Try

Published January 15, 2025 · By Glizzy Godz

The hot dog is more than a food — it's a canvas for regional identity. Every corner of America has its own take on this humble creation, and at Glizzy Godz, we've built our entire menu around celebrating these iconic styles. Here are the top 10 hot dog styles in America you absolutely need to try.

1. The New York Style Dog

The original street food king. A Sabrett natural-casing all-beef frank on a steamed bun with spicy brown deli mustard, sauerkraut, and sweet onion sauce. Simple, perfect, and the foundation of American hot dog culture. Try our version: The New York Glizzy.

2. The Chicago Dog

"Dragged through the garden" — a Vienna beef frank on a poppy seed bun with yellow mustard, neon green relish, chopped onion, tomato slices, a dill pickle spear, sport peppers, and a dash of celery salt. Never, ever ketchup. We honor this tradition with The Chicago Glizzy.

3. The Coney Island Dog

Despite the name, the Coney dog is a Detroit invention. A natural-casing frank topped with beanless beef chili, yellow mustard, and diced raw onion. It's comfort food at its finest. Try The Coney Glizzy on our menu.

4. The Chili Cheese Dog

America's ultimate indulgence: a hot dog smothered in beef chili, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced onions. Popular nationwide, perfected in the South and Southwest. Our Chili Cheese Glizzy is one of our bestsellers.

5. The LA Bacon-Wrapped Dog

Born on the streets of Los Angeles, the bacon-wrapped street dog features a frank wrapped in crispy bacon with caramelized peppers and onions. We add chipotle mayo to ours — The Bacon Wrap Glizzy.

6. The Southern Slaw Dog

Below the Mason-Dixon line, coleslaw on a hot dog isn't weird — it's essential. Beef chili, yellow mustard, and creamy coleslaw create a perfect balance of heat, tang, and crunch. That's our Southern Glizzy.

7. The Classic (Mustard & Ketchup)

The dog you grew up on. Yellow mustard, ketchup, done. Sometimes the original is unbeatable. We call it The OG Glizzy because that's exactly what it is — where it all began.

8. The Cheese Dog

Melted cheese on a hot dog is a universal language of deliciousness. Our Cheese Glizzy uses melted American cheese sauce with jalapeño slices for a creamy, spicy kick.

9. The Kraut Dog

A German-American classic: sauerkraut, spicy brown mustard, and grilled onions. The tangy sauerkraut cuts through the richness of the beef frank perfectly. Try The Kraut Glizzy.

10. The BLT Dog

A modern fusion of two American icons: the BLT sandwich and the hot dog. Bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on a premium frank. Our BLT Glizzy proves that innovation and tradition can coexist.
