  • Toast the hot dog buns on a comal or dry cast-iron skillet.
    8 brioche hot dog buns
  • Add the cooked wieners to the buns. Top with pickles, julienned jalapeños, sauerkraut, and Gaspard's Gold BBQ Sauce.
    24 hamburger dill pickle slices, 2 cups sauerkraut, 8 tbsp Gaspard's Gold BBQ Sauce, 4 ripe jalapeños

Notes

The liquid crab boil gives the wieners a flavor and scent lightly reminiscent of a seafood boil. The Gaspard’s Gold BBQ Sauce with the julienned jalapeños gives it a sweet and spicy kick. I hope you are adventurous enough to try it, I personally think it’s pretty darned good!
