West Virginia Slaw Dog!

A true southern West Virginian hot dog is a wild and wonderful creation founded in the Huntington to Charleston area. These heavenly delights aren't common to those of us north of the Mason-Dixon line. The "Hillbilly Slaw Dog" begins with a dog placed in the center of a bun. Mustard is then carefully squirted the length of the dog. Chili sauce is spooned atop the mustard. Then the key ingredient is added "coleslaw". The creamy sweet cole slaw is liberally added and then sprinkled with chopped onions. This unique combination promises to tantalize even the most stubborn of health food diners. Catsup, Ketchup to us Heinz lovers, is NOT permitted as it taints the taste with an acid flavor. To be a true West Virginian Hot Dog the dog must included sweet creamy cole slaw! This recipe is perfect to offset the spicy, hot chili sauce...
