Hawaiian Spiral Basil Beef Dogs

[Jim Lampe]

after seeing Stu Clary's post in the sausage competition using King's Hawaiian buns & liking his idea,
I knew it was only a matter of days before i'd be eetin' some. It's been years since I've had 'em.
But 1st things first... pour a glass of some Haitian rhum

tossed on a few ears of corn and the frankfurters

after the corn and dogs were done, bacon hit the grates...

the King's Hawaiian buns were cleverly cut the Stu way with cheese, bacon and garden fresh basil under the spiral dogs.
That's a pesto garlic sauce on the corn with more garden beans and patty pan squash with zucchini and sautéed onions

i'll be doing these again... simple yet not elegant

Thanks for stoppin' by!

A Special Thank You to STU CLARY!

I was thinking the same thing Jim. When I saw Stu's post I thought it won't be long till I do that! Nicely executed!

Jim you are the man!!!

 

[Clay Neubauer]

Jim, I think the "conventional wisdom" would be to use basil with tomato-something and cheese, how were those dogs without the red component? My basil is growing like crazy and I would love more reasons to use it right now!

 

[ChuckO]

I duno, for simple that cook looks elegant to! Nicely done!
