  • Place on hot dog buns and tuck a pickle spear into the bun.
  • Apply mustard and relish to taste.
  • Add tomato, pepperoncini, and onion.
  • Can be really messy when eaten by a 7 year old, so take the time to enjoy watching grandma clean up the mess.
  • Enjoy. OK.if you can't resist the temptation, a little ketchup may be called for.
