Carolina-Style Hot Dog

Carolina-style hot dogs consist of hot dog sausages in a split bread roll. They are characterized by an established set of condiments including slaw, onions, and chili. The hot dogs are sometimes topped with mustard which either acts as a substitute for slaw or can be added as a fourth condiment. These hot dogs are quite popular due to the sweetness and crunch of slaw that is in contrast with a slight spiciness coming from mustard and chili. Nowadays, the term Carolina-style refers not only to hot dog condiments, but hamburger toppings as well.
