Hot Dog: Kansas City Dog
Region: Kansas City, Missouri
It’s been a blast celebrating Mardi Gras in February and filling our bellies with a perfect winter Hot Dog! Now, we’re heading back to a place we haven’t been since 2023, Kansas City, Missouri, to see what they’ve got for us in the Hot Dog world!!
The Story: The exact origins of the Kansas City Dog, sometimes called the Reuben Dog, are a bit elusive. What we do know is that it’s a clever reinvention of the classic Reuben sandwich, which first emerged in New York City in the early 20th century. As the Reuben sandwich grew in popularity across the U.S., it didn't take long for food lovers to start putting their own regional twists on the beloved dish. Enter the Kansas City Dog—a tasty fusion of flavors that combines the hearty goodness of a hot dog with the bold, savory elements of a Reuben.
Kansas City, known for its rich culinary heritage, bold flavor profiles, and BBQ, seized on one of these variations and crafted a hot dog that pays homage to the original Reuben. The Kansas City Dog quickly became a local favorite and, as with many iconic dishes, gained its full fame thanks to its introduction at Kauffman Stadium, home of the Kansas City Royals. There's something uniquely American about pairing a hot dog with a ballgame, and the Kansas City Dog takes that tradition to the next level. While it’s unclear exactly when or how the Kansas City Dog became a stadium staple, there's no denying its status as a beloved part of the city’s food scene.
Whether enjoyed at Kauffman Stadium, in a local diner, or at one of the city’s many food festivals, the Kansas City Dog is a true culinary celebration of the city’s creativity and its deep connection to baseball and Americana. After all, what’s better than watching a ball game, with a hot dog in one hand and a piece of baseball’s food history in the other? Not much, I reckon!
Traditional Build: Hot Dog topped with corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Thousand Island salad dressing on a rye bun.
BP Spin: We’re not messing with perfection much on this one! We start with Vienna All Beef frank grilled on the flat top. We then top our grilled dog with house-made corned beef, sauerkraut, swiss cheese, and house-made thousand island dressing and serve it on a toasted Turano Hot Dog Bun.
Pair that bad boy with a Celtic Courage, or a Classic Guinness and get ready to turn the river green and the return of the Cubbies!
