RECIPE OF THE MOMENT

Brazilian Hot Dogs: São Paulo Style

The first time I saw a São Paulo-style Brazilian hot dog being built, the whole thing became more unhinged with every topping.

Then I tried it, and the whole thing made perfect sense. The mash turns it into proper comfort food, the sauces bring sweetness and tang, and the potato sticks add the crunch. It is a full meal disguised as a hot dog.
