Cincinnatian here, you made a very authentic chili! The cinnamon is definitely essential, some places nearby (Skyline and Gold Star are the two big names in Cincy) actually add some cocoa powder to the spice blend. Consider it a bit of a "secret ingredient" kind of thing, but everyone knows it's cocoa powder. Cincinnati style chili also goes well over pasta with a pile of finely shredded cheddar stacked atop, it's weird, but so good.
Used to live in central Ohio and we got it sometimes too. Live in Washington now but still make spaghetti with chili all the time . I just order Skyline because I live alone so a big batch of homemade isn't practical. Can't talk my friends into it, but these heathens put cream cheese on hot dogs so what can I do to save them?
Cocoa! THAT'S why I hate it!!!! I knew there was another bitter element to Cincy chili besides cinnamon that made me hate it, because I've added cinnamon to chili & ground beef before and never had a problem. But something about Skyline (I know I know, blasphemy from an Ohioan) just never set right with me. I'm just more of a spicy chili guy than bitter.
@@illuminatedstorm Hey we all like what we like right? I mean i moved from Ohio to Teryaki central in Washington state , but 80% of the restaurants have the super heavy , sugary sauce and I don't like it. I like the thinner , more savory kind so i end up ordering it with sauce on the side and mixing it with a little water and soy sauce. Great way to get the stinkeye. Luckily my local spot gets it right AND they sell the half chickens .
Helpful tip: before grinding meat, throw it in the freezer until it's almost frozen (still a bit flexible). It'll grind much better and easier that way.

Cincinnati chili doesn't generally have chocolate or cocoa powder in it. Gold Star, Skyline, and Empress (the true OG of Cincy Chili that barely exists anymore) don't use chocolate, but the misconception is so popular that a lot of home recipes and even small restaurants do it.

@@kitty62862 Ironically, that's a very recent, US-specific perspective on those spices. Cinnamon is a common savory spice in many spice-forward cuisines, such as Mexican, Indian, and Middle Eastern/Moroccan.

As an Ohio born person, with a varied palette for Cincinnati chili, I approve of your construction of chili sauce. Very effective, Papa has done well~ (Just remember to call them coneys, not chili dogs. We’re not Sonic the Hedgehog after all 😉)
Another Cincinnatian here, beyond excited to see you make these! Your recipe looks pretty dang spot on, as mentioned in other comments, some places use cocoa powder as well, but these look incredible. They may need more shredded cheddar cheese, but these look, as papa might say, BUSSIN'
@@jonsmalls2649 It's incorrect though. I'm allergic to chocolate and asked Skyline and they said there wasn't any. Someone tried to guess a copycat recipe in the Cincinnati Enquire in the 80s. Thousands of mothers and grandmothers copied it down even though it was wrong. The real secret ingredient to Skyline is nutritional yeast. It's very high in glutamate enhancing the flavor just like MSG.
@@alexanderheubel7366 You may not gain something, but you can lose something. Your life. Milling flour can be a dangerous process in that it has caused explosions in milling factories for eons.
I think this just tipped the scale for me, I'm going to work towards buying a standmixer and a smoker, I always wanted those anyways but the day I am able to recreate this recipe, I'll come back and tell about it.
I have uncontrollably kitchen envy whenever I watch your videos, Josh. I want all of those kitchen goodies. It's carnal the way I'm salivating for these hot dogs. Truly Sonic's wet dream. Thank you.
For Cincinnati style chilli, the beef shouldn’t be browned in oil. It should be cooked together with water and aromatics in its raw state while constantly stirring. This yields its distinctive smooth and fine texture.
Ok so, not trying to be offensive (i'm just ignorant) but.... cooking ground beef in water sounds disgusting and just... wrong. How does that make the texture better?
It does result in a very smooth chili. I did it once, but never again. It really looked disgusting. I would use the same method Josh uses here if I were to make it again.
@@hettar7 the chili comes out super smooth if you make it like that, seriously, try it. I don't know if you're anywhere near California but tommys burgers makes their chili that way
I have a suggestion for our boi....what if he were to do a "but why" series where he goes over WHY he does certain things (that arent super duper obvious). For example, in this episode he said that he likes to change out the warm water for the soaking casings.....and id like to know WHY he does that :)
Because it’s common sense, obviously there may be ….residue……on intestines. This will remain in the first water that gets dumped- because we don’t want that in our food.
@@benf8706 oh yah that makes total sense, i just thought they would have been cleaned before they are bought so I wasnt sure why would would change the water. But i dont really know anything about how intestines are prepared for purchase haha :) I do think a "but why" series would be fun where he talks a lil bit about food chemistry and stuff
@@shoelacee5452 there's no food chemistry most chefs care about. Its preference. I bet the majority of it is learned, the intestines are cleaned sure, but would you trust that 😅😅 it's also to soften them
just some minor concerns to the written recipe (mostly concerning the chili): the chili calls for 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar but the instructions don't really state where in the cooking process to add that. plus the list doesn't include the garlic. i snapped a picture of the list just so i could take it with me to the store only to realize i got home and forgot the fresh garlic. but its ok, the chili still came out pretty good. just thought i'd bring those details to your attention.
Yeah if everytime someone tries something for the first time, and says "been there done that" the I agree....Guaranteed Josh hasn't cooked Indian, african, russian, etc... there's always something people haven't done. Just cause he acts like he's the best, and act like he perfects everything doesn't mean shit.... This video was a waste of time, for a lackluster result... it would be such a waste of money, time, and effort to make this... too much bun, cold shredded cheese on top?!? Praise all you want, I wouldn't pay 5 bucks for that dog... and it took him HOURS to make. lmfao.
Being that I’m from Dayton, Ohio (30mins from Cincinnati), Skyline, and Gold Star are the best, but you did justice for Cincinnati with the chili, big difference from Texas, and Cincinnati chili. Great Job 👏🏾
Cincinnati in the comments here. My family has been making Cinci chili at home since before Skyline was a restaurant. You actually did the chili really well. Super close. The grated onion, the generic store bought bottle chili powder, the tomato paste, and the hundred or so spices.... Except one BIG thing. Browning the beef... you don't brown the beef. It's super weird at first, but the trick to the super fine indistinct bits of beef in the chili is to add the beef to room temperature water and whip it until it turns into this weird beef pasty watery sludge. Then add that to the toasted spiced and tomato paste.
I'm a native Cincinnatian and when I saw the thumbnail I thought, "he's gonna make a chili dog but, the chili isn't gonna be as good as we have it here." Then you declare that you're using Cincy style in the first minute. I actually paused the video, jumped up off my futon, and excitedly started yelling, "FUCK YEAH!" BTW, I make mine at home with Queen City hot hot metts (or Nathan's all beef dogs), pan toasted interior brioche buns, fine diced red onions, Guilden's spicy brown mustard, extra sharp cheddar, and topped with Topatio hot sauce. The chili itself is almost an afterthought because I use cans of Skyline, Goldstar, or Cincinnati Recipe if I'm just making coneys. I make my own larger batch of chili if I want 4 ways for days. Lastly, Cincy chili is based on a Greek meat pasta sauce. We have a large Greek (German & Irish too) diaspora here and the Greeks opened a shitload of diners when they first settled. The "chili" took off like wildfire on pasta and hot dogs because that is easy to make and appealed to American palates. However, we also have more traditional Greek diners all over the city. I've been spoiled for choice when it comes to spanakopita, baklava, and gyros my whole life.
thats....how you do hot dogs....the skin is SUPPOSED to be crispy and amazing...you do realize that the hot dogs you buy at the store have been cooked COMPLETELY before being put in the package.....right? same goes for frozen french fries, that's why you only have to fry them once.
@@amazingdrewH oh okay my bad, ive had a rough day dealing with a few idiots, and that lowered my overall sense of well everything from everyone, i apologize for assuming and treating you as if you were stupid.
Today when grocery shopping with my wife and walking down the bread isle….. she asked if I was needing buns for chili dogs tonight…… I smiled and said no. I’m making them. She stopped and looked at me like I had lost my mind. In the next couples months I will also be making the hotdogs too! Papa has inspired me!
If you want to take the chili cheese dog topping to another level, try this: once you've smothered the dog in chili, drop a bunch of caramelized onions and sauerkraut on top. Then instead of shredded cheese, pipe a nice thick line of cream cheese over everything. And of course, don't forget a generous squirting of your favorite mustard.
Not kidding at all. This is how I do this. My parents and siblings think its funny, I think it is glorious! I once grew wheat and San Marzano tomatoes, onion, garlic, bell pepper, and oregano in my back yard, in preparation for a visit by my sister and her 4 kids that late summer. I bought a 1/2 pig, and made sausage as well as pepperoni. Bought raw whole milk from a dairy farmer, and made mozzarella. Ground the wheat I grew, made flour. Blanched, skinned and canned the tomatoes... When they got into town I was ready. I made the dough the day before and let it slow rise in the fridge for a day. Made the sauce that morning.. perfection! When they showed up, I had the kids help me ready the dough for the oven. They loved the hand tossing. We had a few hit the floor, but plenty to spare. Spread the sauce, top with the mozzarella, and then whatever they wanted. We made 5 roughly 14" pizzas. They talk about that to this day. It might have taken 5 months from start to finish (because I grew the wheat), but it was totally worth it. So much fun!
Sometimes i wonder if people watch josh’s videos to look out for good recipes to make or just end up not doing them and just gawk at his “from scratch” flexes.
Cincinnatian here. And I don't actually like our chilli at all. As others have mentioned, chocolate (in various forms) is an ingredient most places here use. I feel like I would enjoy it a lot more if we made it like you did.
@@joeriley5099 There's definitely not chocolate sauce in it, unsweetened cocoa is used which is not like some crazy ingredient in chili, see Kenji's recipe for chili as an example
Bolognese sauce is a better description. Chili comes from the name, the food got popular from "chili parlors" which was a better term for a eating room for working class workers.
Please remember that your time is much more valuable then making a hot dog from scratch. Pay the premium of buying really good hot dogs from your local grocery.
I just want to say as a Cincinnatian, we have 0 claim on this chili. Legit, Detroit's Coney Islands absolutely destroys us. Ft Wayne Indiana too. The only thing Cincinnati can claim pride in, is putting Chili on Spaghetti.
As a Michigander, I basically have detroit chili sauce pumping through my veins. I was disappointed when he said Cincinnati style, but for whatever reason it is recognized by most not from the area as what a coney is. But I will never understand the cheese thing.
It's funny because in parts of Canada a chili dog is called a "Michigan". Pretty much everywhere except American chains like Dairy Queen, which call it a chili dog.
This brings sad memories for me. About a year ago I was working on setting up a restaurant in Japan selling these and making them from scratch but covid completely destroyed my plans. I was so close..... but things just went too south too fast.
Love the video! The dog looks delicious. I just have one tip (everyone’s a critic) a small layer of high quality mustard on the dog before the hot chili is a game changer. The heat from the chili makes the mustard explode with flavor. Just an option to consider.
As a born and raised cincinnatian. You did a great job! Way better then skyline or any of the other chilly dog places. I had a friend come and visit me from New York and I made sure that he got a chili dog and a three-way before he returned to New York and he thought it was the strangest thing that we call this meat sauce chili lol
Nice creation. I find that using REAL fresh French bread makes a huge difference (for the best), as well as cooking the sausages in tomato sauce full of string cut onions and bellpeppers.
Wonderful. My only personal adjustment to the dog would be to add some onions. Either 1. a thin bed of caramelised onion before adding the dog or 2.a layer of raw chopped onion on top before adding the cheese. Thank you for the masterclass....
Yo i'm from chile, and about hot dogs, here, in literally every city in the country you'll find the same hot dog (And anything else you wanna add) Mayo (always homemade) Avocado Tomato (diced) Sausage Bun We call it an "italian" for some reason but i wanna know what you think about it and hopefully see you eating one
This looks awesome! Thank you for letting me know that I wanted to make my own hot dogs and never knew it! Also, I will be putting mayo on my buns for the chili dogs. Don't knock it till you try it, I just might convert you.....
Honestly, I didn’t know people didn’t do it. I add more than that to mine. I don’t know if it’s a Mexican thing or just me and my family thing but we put mayo in the bun, place the hotdog in, add mustard and ketchup and top it with diced onion, tomato, shredded carrot, and enjoy it with a raw or grilled Serrano pepper. 😅 It may be weird but it’s delicious to me. 😋
dog with everything on it in the oven for 3 minutues to melt the cheese is the move, thats some gordon ramsey grilled cheese shit right there, love you josh bought the apron.
Mmmmm, I love Cincinnati chili. I like the kind with chocolate added too, reminds me of molé! Texas red might be my standard (I'm Texan too), but gotta love chili on spaghetti with piles of cheddar lol
Looks BUSSIN! But also disappointed that papa didn't raise the pig or cow himself from "scratch", other than that 10/10
Nope you gotta raise the cow out of the ground or it's not fresh
This isn't How to Make Everything.
Trust me Tyler, if Joshua was on a farm, he'd be showing videos of how to butcher a pig, steer, poultry, etc., etc.. LOL!!!!
He didn’t raise the meat source himself? 0/10.
You forgot the step of finding the wild cousin of cattle and then domesticating them over the course of thousands of years

(Just remember to call them coneys, not chili dogs. We’re not Sonic the Hedgehog after all 😉)

To be fair, he made a "hot dog" without actually emulsifying the mix so 2/2 for him
Another Cincinnatian here, beyond excited to see you make these! Your recipe looks pretty dang spot on, as mentioned in other comments, some places use cocoa powder as well, but these look incredible. They may need more shredded cheddar cheese, but these look, as papa might say, BUSSIN'
Neither Skyline or Gold Star use and kind of cocoa or chocolate. Its myth. Usually that’s only in at home recipes.
@@wildkeith I stand corrected! Though between all the chili places I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of them used it in their recipe.
@@wildkeith literally every copycat skyline recipe uses cocoa powder
@@jonsmalls2649 It's incorrect though. I'm allergic to chocolate and asked Skyline and they said there wasn't any. Someone tried to guess a copycat recipe in the Cincinnati Enquire in the 80s. Thousands of mothers and grandmothers copied it down even though it was wrong. The real secret ingredient to Skyline is nutritional yeast. It's very high in glutamate enhancing the flavor just like MSG.

Josh: “Woah, be careful there, Josh.” *moves knife to where he just slapped the counter*
I think this just tipped the scale for me, I'm going to work towards buying a standmixer and a smoker, I always wanted those anyways but the day I am able to recreate this recipe, I'll come back and tell about it.
Commenting so that I can be notified when that happens
Gwarn son u got this cuz
We believe in you brother
Do it for the rest of us who also want to make this
Go watch people who know what they are doing with sausage making like chuds bbq. Also actually cold smoke the sausage in a real smoker.
I have uncontrollably kitchen envy whenever I watch your videos, Josh. I want all of those kitchen goodies. It's carnal the way I'm salivating for these hot dogs. Truly Sonic's wet dream. Thank you.
So excited to try a new chili recipe! Josh's recipes always tastes amazing. He's the only chef that's never failed me 🙏🍽
For Cincinnati style chilli, the beef shouldn’t be browned in oil. It should be cooked together with water and aromatics in its raw state while constantly stirring. This yields its distinctive smooth and fine texture.
Never brown it ! Cook with the water tomatoes paste and spices . Your a monster ! 🤣
Ok so, not trying to be offensive (i'm just ignorant) but.... cooking ground beef in water sounds disgusting and just... wrong. How does that make the texture better?
It does result in a very smooth chili. I did it once, but never again. It really looked disgusting. I would use the same method Josh uses here if I were to make it again.
@@hettar7 It makes it smoother just like the commenter said.
@@hettar7 the chili comes out super smooth if you make it like that, seriously, try it. I don't know if you're anywhere near California but tommys burgers makes their chili that way
I have a suggestion for our boi....what if he were to do a "but why" series where he goes over WHY he does certain things (that arent super duper obvious). For example, in this episode he said that he likes to change out the warm water for the soaking casings.....and id like to know WHY he does that :)
Because it’s common sense, obviously there may be ….residue……on intestines. This will remain in the first water that gets dumped- because we don’t want that in our food.
@@benf8706 oh yah that makes total sense, i just thought they would have been cleaned before they are bought so I wasnt sure why would would change the water. But i dont really know anything about how intestines are prepared for purchase haha :) I do think a "but why" series would be fun where he talks a lil bit about food chemistry and stuff
@@shoelacee5452 there's no food chemistry most chefs care about. Its preference. I bet the majority of it is learned, the intestines are cleaned sure, but would you trust that 😅😅 it's also to soften them
I just figured it was because that sausage casings are packed in a *lot* of salt, and a water change or two will get more of it back out.
I assumed he changed them because the water would cool off and he wants warmer water to make sure they're completely softened
just some minor concerns to the written recipe (mostly concerning the chili): the chili calls for 1 tbsp of red wine vinegar but the instructions don't really state where in the cooking process to add that. plus the list doesn't include the garlic. i snapped a picture of the list just so i could take it with me to the store only to realize i got home and forgot the fresh garlic. but its ok, the chili still came out pretty good. just thought i'd bring those details to your attention.
"And all it took was 26 hours of back breaking work - AND THAT'S HOW I LIKE IT" we know Josh, and we thank you 😂
That was a thing of beauty!
I got love for him because of his love for Culinary Arts, and his passion for it. He cooks EVERYTHING from scratch.
By "crushed by hand" he absolutely means "palm heel strike".
Came here for this! It totally was!
This guy is the human embodiment of been there done that.
Yeah if everytime someone tries something for the first time, and says "been there done that" the I agree....Guaranteed Josh hasn't cooked Indian, african, russian, etc... there's always something people haven't done. Just cause he acts like he's the best, and act like he perfects everything doesn't mean shit.... This video was a waste of time, for a lackluster result... it would be such a waste of money, time, and effort to make this... too much bun, cold shredded cheese on top?!? Praise all you want, I wouldn't pay 5 bucks for that dog... and it took him HOURS to make. lmfao.

Being that I’m from Dayton, Ohio (30mins from Cincinnati), Skyline, and Gold Star are the best, but you did justice for Cincinnati with the chili, big difference from Texas, and Cincinnati chili. Great Job 👏🏾
Oh I can already tell this is going to be an enjoyable one. Hot dogs are great.
They're chili cheese dogs. So much better.
You’re going to need about 4x that amount of cheese if you’re comparing this to Skyline.
Mustard and diced onions too.
Facts
Yaaassss
Did I miss him adding the cocoa?
@@Yaoijoy21 He did not add any cocoa, sadly. Nor did he add cloves.
2024 - typed "hot dog homemade" of course 2nd generation viral Josh video.came up. What an amazing job Josh and SEO team!
Cincinnati in the comments here. My family has been making Cinci chili at home since before Skyline was a restaurant. You actually did the chili really well. Super close. The grated onion, the generic store bought bottle chili powder, the tomato paste, and the hundred or so spices.... Except one BIG thing. Browning the beef... you don't brown the beef. It's super weird at first, but the trick to the super fine indistinct bits of beef in the chili is to add the beef to room temperature water and whip it until it turns into this weird beef pasty watery sludge. Then add that to the toasted spiced and tomato paste.
I'm a native Cincinnatian and when I saw the thumbnail I thought, "he's gonna make a chili dog but, the chili isn't gonna be as good as we have it here." Then you declare that you're using Cincy style in the first minute. I actually paused the video, jumped up off my futon, and excitedly started yelling, "FUCK YEAH!"
BTW, I make mine at home with Queen City hot hot metts (or Nathan's all beef dogs), pan toasted interior brioche buns, fine diced red onions, Guilden's spicy brown mustard, extra sharp cheddar, and topped with Topatio hot sauce. The chili itself is almost an afterthought because I use cans of Skyline, Goldstar, or Cincinnati Recipe if I'm just making coneys. I make my own larger batch of chili if I want 4 ways for days.
Lastly, Cincy chili is based on a Greek meat pasta sauce. We have a large Greek (German & Irish too) diaspora here and the Greeks opened a shitload of diners when they first settled. The "chili" took off like wildfire on pasta and hot dogs because that is easy to make and appealed to American palates. However, we also have more traditional Greek diners all over the city. I've been spoiled for choice when it comes to spanakopita, baklava, and gyros my whole life.
Same reaction here basically.
Gotta be real with you chief. Cincinnati chili is awful. Also fuck Cincinnati I hate that cesspit lol
I had no clue people in Cincinnati even ate chili I thought it was mainly a Texas thing
@@obunky5007 As usual Texans acting like they're special. Literally every state eats chili my guy. Cincinnati just has the worst

Josh: smokes his hot dogs on a grill for hours
Also Josh: cooks his hot dog in a fry pan
thats....how you do hot dogs....the skin is SUPPOSED to be crispy and amazing...you do realize that the hot dogs you buy at the store have been cooked COMPLETELY before being put in the package.....right? same goes for frozen french fries, that's why you only have to fry them once.

Today when grocery shopping with my wife and walking down the bread isle….. she asked if I was needing buns for chili dogs tonight…… I smiled and said no. I’m making them. She stopped and looked at me like I had lost my mind. In the next couples months I will also be making the hotdogs too! Papa has inspired me!
I shouldn't have laughed as much as I did when the transition "keeping it safe for the little babies" came on.
If you want to take the chili cheese dog topping to another level, try this: once you've smothered the dog in chili, drop a bunch of caramelized onions and sauerkraut on top. Then instead of shredded cheese, pipe a nice thick line of cream cheese over everything. And of course, don't forget a generous squirting of your favorite mustard.
you mean.... choose cream cheese over cheddar cheese on a hotdog? who hurt you
Holy shit I think I’m bouta buss just reading that 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Stop. I can only get so hard
You’re a sicko. I love it.
@@BillyReb try it before you knock it
Not kidding at all. This is how I do this. My parents and siblings think its funny, I think it is glorious!
I once grew wheat and San Marzano tomatoes, onion, garlic, bell pepper, and oregano in my back yard, in preparation for a visit by my sister and her 4 kids that late summer. I bought a 1/2 pig, and made sausage as well as pepperoni. Bought raw whole milk from a dairy farmer, and made mozzarella. Ground the wheat I grew, made flour. Blanched, skinned and canned the tomatoes... When they got into town I was ready. I made the dough the day before and let it slow rise in the fridge for a day. Made the sauce that morning.. perfection!
When they showed up, I had the kids help me ready the dough for the oven. They loved the hand tossing. We had a few hit the floor, but plenty to spare. Spread the sauce, top with the mozzarella, and then whatever they wanted. We made 5 roughly 14" pizzas. They talk about that to this day.
It might have taken 5 months from start to finish (because I grew the wheat), but it was totally worth it. So much fun!
This episode could also serve as a "Skyline, But Better". Good job!

Sometimes i wonder if people watch josh’s videos to look out for good recipes to make or just end up not doing them and just gawk at his “from scratch” flexes.
What nickname did the hot dog give to his wife? Honey bun.
bau.
Another thing he says is "My bun brings all the boys to the yard."
wow, just checked your channel, keep up man!
That honestly sounds like a good addition. You cant go wrong with Honey.
And yes I get the joke I just love honey.
Who else wishes he'd bring back Fermentation Friday?
Cincinnatian here. And I don't actually like our chilli at all. As others have mentioned, chocolate (in various forms) is an ingredient most places here use. I feel like I would enjoy it a lot more if we made it like you did.
Joshua should do a "...but Poorer" where he cooks with little to no fancy equipment
That’s actually a great idea
Hold up. Josh likes Skyline!? That is not something I was expecting.
Comparing this to Skyline is an insult to himself, skyline is downright inedible 🤢 who puts chocolate sauce in chili???

@@plumbranch2493 no they put cinnamon in it exactly like josh does, skyline is fire having it right now

As someone that works in cincy, everything in this video looks amazing. I'm also of the midset that cincy chili isn't really chili, but still amazing.
Bolognese sauce is a better description. Chili comes from the name, the food got popular from "chili parlors" which was a better term for a eating room for working class workers.
Please remember that your time is much more valuable then making a hot dog from scratch. Pay the premium of buying really good hot dogs from your local grocery.
You put so much effort into each video thank you so much!
I just want to say as a Cincinnatian, we have 0 claim on this chili. Legit, Detroit's Coney Islands absolutely destroys us. Ft Wayne Indiana too. The only thing Cincinnati can claim pride in, is putting Chili on Spaghetti.
I've never been within 4000 miles of Cincinnati and can honestly say that Chilli on spaghetti is bloody awesome. So yes, props to you guys :)
As a Michigander, I basically have detroit chili sauce pumping through my veins. I was disappointed when he said Cincinnati style, but for whatever reason it is recognized by most not from the area as what a coney is. But I will never understand the cheese thing.
Well shit now I miss FW's Coney Island. Thanks for that :p masterworks of hot dog making.
Wow someone from Ohio giving Detroit some props?!?! But you’re right
It's funny because in parts of Canada a chili dog is called a "Michigan". Pretty much everywhere except American chains like Dairy Queen, which call it a chili dog.
i really like how you show us the right way to produce this kind of meal, it looks so luxurious and expensive ❤. Amazing process ❤
This brings sad memories for me. About a year ago I was working on setting up a restaurant in Japan selling these and making them from scratch but covid completely destroyed my plans. I was so close..... but things just went too south too fast.
You should try again
@@micaiahdawson5963 I will a few years from now. When covid is a distant memory and a have much more investment capital saved.
Love the video! The dog looks delicious. I just have one tip (everyone’s a critic) a small layer of high quality mustard on the dog before the hot chili is a game changer. The heat from the chili makes the mustard explode with flavor. Just an option to consider.
I believe you are correct... typically, a chili cheese coney is traditionally drizzled with a bit of yellow mustard.
for me that would absolutely ruin it, as I can't stand mustard in any form.

As a born and raised cincinnatian. You did a great job! Way better then skyline or any of the other chilly dog places. I had a friend come and visit me from New York and I made sure that he got a chili dog and a three-way before he returned to New York and he thought it was the strangest thing that we call this meat sauce chili lol
Nice creation. I find that using REAL fresh French bread makes a huge difference (for the best), as well as cooking the sausages in tomato sauce full of string cut onions and bellpeppers.
Wonderful. My only personal adjustment to the dog would be to add some onions. Either
1. a thin bed of caramelised onion before adding the dog or
2.a layer of raw chopped onion on top before adding the cheese.
Thank you for the masterclass....
When you broke out into "keeping it safe for the little babies" song I nearly choked on my nanner.
Your what now
As an ohioan i thank you for not sleeping on chili cheese dogs 🙏 truly one of the greatest tasting foods out there
Yo i'm from chile, and about hot dogs, here, in literally every city in the country you'll find the same hot dog
(And anything else you wanna add)
Mayo (always homemade)
Avocado
Tomato (diced)
Sausage
Bun
We call it an "italian" for some reason but i wanna know what you think about it and hopefully see you eating one
Probably because the colors of the toppings resemble the Italian flag (red, green, and white)

This looks awesome! Thank you for letting me know that I wanted to make my own hot dogs and never knew it! Also, I will be putting mayo on my buns for the chili dogs. Don't knock it till you try it, I just might convert you.....
Honestly, I didn’t know people didn’t do it. I add more than that to mine. I don’t know if it’s a Mexican thing or just me and my family thing but we put mayo in the bun, place the hotdog in, add mustard and ketchup and top it with diced onion, tomato, shredded carrot, and enjoy it with a raw or grilled Serrano pepper. 😅 It may be weird but it’s delicious to me. 😋
dog with everything on it in the oven for 3 minutues to melt the cheese is the move, thats some gordon ramsey grilled cheese shit right there, love you josh bought the apron.
Looks like Ordinary Sausage has another enemy. We're coming for you Josh!
Mmmmm, I love Cincinnati chili. I like the kind with chocolate added too, reminds me of molé! Texas red might be my standard (I'm Texan too), but gotta love chili on spaghetti with piles of cheddar lol
