Montréal hot dog

Montréal hot dog is a Canadian hot dog variety consisting of a steamed sausage in a soft, steamed bun, topped with chopped onions, coleslaw, mustard, and some kind of relish. If the hot dog is steamed, it's called a steamé or stimé, but it can also be grilled or toasted until crisp, when it's called toasté or toastie, but toasties are slightly more expensive and less popular than steamies. When the toppings are selected, and they most often are, it is called an all-dressed hot dog, and it is said that it is the best way to enjoy this Montréal delicacy. Despite the city's ban on street carts that had been operational for 66 years and was lifted in 2013, Montréal hot dog remains an important street food staple, and today it can be found at numerous street corners throughout the city.
