One Bite, No Going Back: The Best Chili Dogs Ever

Hot dogs aren’t just quick bites, they’re memories on a bun. From summer cookouts to state fairs, nothing brings people together quite like a stack of loaded dogs fresh off the grill.

At the NC Mountain State Fair, we saw it firsthand: clean plates, big smiles, and folks coming back for seconds (and thirds).

But here’s the thing: most hot dogs lean on the usual ketchup + mustard combo. Tasty, sure, but predictable. At BASTE, we believe every bite should surprise you, spark joy, and leave you reaching for just one more. That’s why we turned a simple hot dog into a flavor revolution bold, messy, unforgettable.

This recipe brings the fair experience straight to your kitchen. Juicy hot dogs, rich homemade chili, cole slaw, and the star of the show: A generous drizzle of BASTE Tangy Sauce. The result? A crowd-pleaser that’s perfect for game day, Friday night, or whenever you want to kick your meal up a notch.
