Ingredients

4 all-beef hot dogs
4 hot dog buns
2 tablespoons yellow mustard
1/4 cup bright green sweet pickle relish
1/2 small white onion (diced)
2 small Roma tomatoes (cut into thin wedges)
4 dill pickle spears
Pickled sport peppers (to taste)
Celery salt (to taste)

Steps

1
Build a charcoal fire for direct grilling and preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
2
Butterfly hot dogs by slicing them lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Open gently so they lay flat on the grill. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until charred in spots and hot throughout.
3
While the grill is heating and the hot dogs are cooking, grill the buns quickly over direct heat until lightly toasted - about 1 minute. Place one hot dog in each bun, and top with a quarter of the mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes, and one pickle spear. Add sport peppers, to taste, and sprinkle with celery salt. Repeat with remaining hot dogs and serve immediately.
