The Godfather: A Gourmet Hotdog

While browsing Serious Eats I came across a recipe for a hotdog. It included spicy mortadella, spicy cappicola and pepperoncini. It was submitted by "intense foodie". Since it was rather unusual I thought I would give it a try. Here is a picture of the final product. This recipe makes a great hot dog if you like spicy food. The only change I made to the recipe was to add a slice of provolone cheese and I broiled the dogs in the oven for a couple of minutes to melt the cheese and further brown the buns. I could not find poppy seed buns so I used hot dog rolls.
