You know about Chicago Dogs and Coney Island Dogs, maybe you’ve even heard of a Seattle Dog, but did you know Denver has its own style of hot dog too?

According to a meat company known for their sausage, Applegate, there is a a ‘Denver Dog.’

It’s a normal hot dog on a normal bun topped with a green chile sauce, red onions, jalapeños and sour cream.

Basically, if you put green chile on anything it becomes Colorado-style, so no real surprise here. The question is, does it pair well with a hot dog?

You can get the whole recipe from Applegate here.
