This dude...

I need to make the drive and shake his hand. So many of his recipes over the years have made it onto my grills. Dang.

This one - or at least a variation of - is likely to make it on tomorrow. It would be today if I didn't have a concert to go to this evening....

Luckily, I have packages and packages and packages of bacon that need to be used.

My mother used to make something similar when I was a kid. Basically, you slit a hot dog, stuffed it with cheese, then wrapped it in bacon, secured with a toothpick. Her version was broiled, and I still make it that way. In college, folks viewed it as a miracle.

I’ve done them, too. But my instinct for simplicity leads me to just grilling dogs, adding bacon, and melting cheese over top. It’s easier, and the dogs get a nice grill to them.

ETA: That sauce, with the pickled mustard seeds, looks like it would taste fantastic!
