I just had a chicago-style hot dog for the first time tonight and I've wanted to try one for years. I ended up getting seconds anyway and it was definitely worth it. I normally hate mustard and relish but I think this thing just had so many flavours going for it that none of them had time to be bad and it ended up delicious.
Also since I saw someone talking about tofu earlier, do you know a good way to fry it such that the middle isn't still relatively moist? I've had it cooked such that it had the texture of caramel corn and that was wonderful. When I tried frying it, I pressed it for about 20 minutes, then cubed it, and dabbed each cube before I tossed it onto the pan, but the only ones that had a nice texture in the middle were too dry with the outside. Do you have to fry tofu on lower heat than chicken?
