Hot dogs have various regional styles in the U.S., including the lesser-known Texas-style hot dog dubbed the 'Hot Texas Wiener,' which actually originated in Paterson, New Jersey. It was created in the 1920s by a Greek immigrant who deep-fried the hot dog and topped it with a spicy Greek chili sauce. The dish requires mustard and onions beneath the sauce, following a strict order. This style of hot dog relates to Coney Island dogs in Detroit, sharing a similar Greek culinary influence and topping.
