My old roommate went to college in West Virginia, and I came to enjoy what he called "West Virginia Dogs".

Last month I was in Waterbury, CT for work and went to this hot dog place called Frankie's that had been recommended to me. On the menu was... well... guess!

I added my own mustard and onions, because that's how I like it too... oh with a pickle slice too sometimes. I just thought it funny that the world knows it as a WV dog. I suppose the world also knows "WV Pizza" includes ranch dressing for dipping!

When I was growing up WV was referred to as “the lost counties”, because VA and WV didn’t recognize a common border until the 1980’s.
Seems right they would leave the mustard and onions off.
Perverse idgits.

My dad’s side of the family is pretty much Scotts through and though, but I don’t think they retained any Scottish recipes.
My mom’s side of the family is English and German. We did inherit a taste for sausage and kraut.

Dipping pizza in ranch dressing?
Never heard of that one!

There is a hot dog only restaurant in South Carolina that serves something similar to this, but the cole slaw is made with blue cheese! Yummy.
