Recipe: Better Chicago-Style Hot Dogs

Confession: Hot dogs are directly responsible for me quitting vegetarianism after more than 15 years. You guys, I love hot dogs. My brother, Matthew, and I used to split a package of Lit'l Smokies when we came home from school (for the record, that’s four servings each; it’s a miracle we're not dead).
