And while all these options are equally delicious, the hot dog holds a special place in the hearts of Mexicans.  This practical and easy dish is prepared with bread, sausage, mustard, ketchup, and a mix of pickled cucumbers; however, countless versions have emerged, which include turkey sausage, Frankfurt sausage, chopped onion, bacon, jalapeños, tomato, chili con carne, cheese, guacamole, and more—there are no limits when it comes to the hot dog! In addition to being perfect for a family meal or a children's party, this dish has also become part of pop culture, as you have surely seen movies or cartoons where a hot dog cart appears or one of the characters enjoys one while walking through New York. The best part is that now you no longer have to crave a good NY-style hot dog, as the most famous ones from this city, Nathan’s Famous, have just opened a branch in Mexico City!
