I’m excited about planning my first Fourth of July party and coming up with fun grilling recipes. Since there will be a lot of people coming, I’ve decided to keep it simple (and keep the costs down) with burgers and hot dogs, but provide a fun menu of topping choices. My inspiration today came from watching the Man vs Food marathon and seeing Adam Richman eat what looked like a delicious sonoran hot dog in Tuscon (I have the toppings recipe below). Here’s what I have so far for fun (and not hard to find or expensive) toppings for hot dogs:
Columbian hot dog

Topped with:
Pineapple (chunks or pineapple salsa)

Crushed potato chips

Hot dogs
Topped with:
