Anything you can do with a hot dog is generally as good if not better when executed using Italian sausage, chorizo, or brats instead, no?
Alabama-style White BBQ Sauce
White BBQ sauce is unique… there are no tomatoes in the sauce. It’s a mayonnaise-based sauce, made tangy with the addition of vinegar, horseradish and mustard. Offered in most every BBQ restaurant in North Alabama, the sauce is eaten with everything from French fries to chicken and ribs. The unique, tangy flavor is the perfect complement to just about everything. Without the Internet, it would be pretty much unheard of outside of North Alabama.
Rib Sauces
No matter how you cook your ribs – in a smoker, an oven or slow-cooker – a great barbecue sauce can accentuate the flavor. The best sauces for ribs tend to be thick and sticky so they hold to the ribs. Remember that any sauce that contains sugars (like tomatoes do) will burn at temperatures above 265 degrees F. If you are cooking at temperatures above this, wait until the ribs are cooked before applying the sauce. This will prevent burning so you can avoid blackened ribs.

Jalapeño Grilled Shrimp with Prosciutto
For this recipe, thin strips of jalapeño chiles are inserted into the shrimp and the shrimp are marinated in a zesty marinade to add a little sweet heat. After marinating, the shrimp are wrapped in prosciutto (you could use bacon) and grilled.
Chipotle Tapenade Burgers: Recipe
Allspice Cafe makes a tasty olive tapenade that goes great in ground beef for burgers. This version is a personal favorite I came up with that you may want to try for yourself. Overall, the spicy kick is on the mild side, which really lets you taste the rest of the tapenade.
Syrena’s Seduction Jerk Sauce: Burn! Tested
Usually when someone writes “seduction” and “jerk” in the same sentence, they’re either referring to some jackass who broke their heart, or a date with a bottle of lotion. Not when it comes to the sweet awesome that is Pirate Johnny’s Syrena’s Seduction Hot Sauce, though. It’s a Jamaican jerk-inspired sweet heat that’s long on island flavor with a mild to moderate burn.
