Venezuelan Street Dogs

If you’re sick of the same old ketchup and mustard hotdog, I have something for you. Venezuelan style hotdogs, also known as asquerositos, are next level. These hotdogs are topped with shredded cabbage, onions, garlic sauce, salsa rosada, ketchup, fried potato stix, and cotija cheese. To make these hotdogs requires either a baguette or a hoagie bun. A regular hotdog bun won’t be able to hold all of the toppings. So change up your next barbecue and impress your guests. You too can and will be king wiener.
