We’re excited to share Part 1 of our 4th of July Hot Dog Flight in collaboration with Bright Leaf Hot Dogs!

Today we’re introducing two recipes that celebrate true North
Carolina heritage: the Classic Carolina Dog and the Carolina BBQ Dog.

Classic Carolina Dog This one is “all the way” — mustard, ketchup, chili, slaw, and onions. You can’t go wrong with a tried-and-true Carolina favorite.

Carolina BBQ Dog This recipe brings together three things we love: barbecue, mac and
cheese, and a classic Brightleaf hot dog. We finish it with a drizzle of Bone Suckin' Sauce
for that perfect NC touch.

If you like these, just wait! We’ve got three more hot dog recipes coming your way next
Friday, June 26th. Stay tuned!
