Good Morning All..Now I'am sure in America there are certain food stuff that shouldn't be put together..Let me try to explain what I mean..Example..Here in Scotland it has been known for a chip shop owner to dip onion rings into a buckfast batter before frying them..( buckfast is a cheap plonk ) The result was woeful and had to be taken off his menu..Now to my title thread...I read about Koreas take on the Hot Dog selling at Food & Wine in Epcot.Its called the Kimchi Dog..Kimchi is vegetables marinated in either a sour or spicy sauce, then coated on top of the dog..Now the review seems to favour it, but I'am curious to what you think about this twist on the Hot Dog...

Here in the south hotdogs have coleslaw. Not a vinegar based slaw either, good ole mayo, and the cabbage is chopped very fine, not shredded. So three ingredients top the dog, mustard, onions, coleslaw...no ketchup..that is for the fries. The other topping of choice is chili. So mustard, onions, chili...again, no ketchup. Me, I like four toppings, mustard, onions, slaw and chili.

well hotdogs and sauerkraut with mustard is a staple here in NJ/NY. I actually am looking forward to trying the kimchi dog (I get a bite and hand it off to the hubby) I've spoken to people who are at F&W now, and said it was really good. However, I cannot wait to get the slaw dog at Casey's this Fall :)

Kimchi and Kraut are both cabbage. I can't imagine the differences being that vast...
Minus the dog I would give it a whirl!
My Dad loves his dog with kraut, mustard and onions in red peppered sauce. Again, I would be happy with that, extra onions please but, minus the dog...lol...

See, I love hot dogs, but they sure don't like me! LOL Now, I love cabbage... ANY way it's prepared, and I'm the type that takes one bite of the dog with all it comes topped with, then the second bite is basically the sauerkraut, coleslaw or whatever else is thrown on top LOL

Not to bust anyone's bubble, but there are well over 2,000 different varieties of Kimchee. Its a fermented vegetable dish thats not just cabbage , it can be and frequently is more and does not contain cabbage which can be served as part of Bachan (side dishes..the more side dishes, the more formal it is), or as a stand alone... but as a garnish its way out of place.

Grouping Kimchee and the word "dog" isnt quite right as theres a particular Korean dish, kagogi (Dog) thats not suited for western sensibilities.


I lived in Bong-il chon Ni ROK for a couple of years so I think I have a different perspective than most on this board about kimchee

I did a tour with the 2nd Infantry Division in ROK, my perspective of kimchee is, stay up wind and you'll be okay, but that's just my opinion.

The Epcot Manifesto
See, I loves me a hot-dog, in all forms. While the pinnacle of the hot-dog product has already been reached (there is no topping a Chicago Dog from Hot Dougs, unless maybe you are speaking of Hot Doug's Fois Gras dog, and yes, I treat that not as opinion, but fact).
The idea of the Kimchi Dog looks very promising! I like the idea of the spicy sausage with the kimchi. This seems like the two would work well together. I think that the coolness of the kimchi with the spice of the sausage (with the red chili peppers in the sausage mix) would compliment each other well.
I think I am finding a way to make it over to sample one of these things. I worry that they likely "Westernized" their kimchi to make it appeal to the standard American palate though, but hope I'm wrong. If so, I might have to see if I can't get some decent kimchi and make something similar myself...

I'd still try it because I never had kimchi before and so to try it as a topping on a hot dog as opposed to eating straight away itself probably helps and intrigues me to try it. Plus it's a smaller portion to sample as opposed to getting like a 6-12 inch hot dog on a bun! Normally, I prefer my hot dogs plain mainly because I fear that sometimes too many toppings on the dog take away the flavor from the actual frankfurter but then again, people prefer their dogs with numerous toppings because they feel it adds flavor and depth. Although to be fair, hot dogs are food that I'm not a die hard fan per say but it's also not a food I'll avoid eating at all costs. (I much prefer corn dogs over regular hot dogs.) Funny thing is, when it comes to burgers, I prefer to have toppings on those....

Kimchee is delicious and one of my favorite things. I was just looking at a recipe in Food and wine Magazine on a recipe for shrimp, scallops, and kimchee flapjacks! I think I shall make it this weekend for my DH. So I would highly suggest to anyone at the F&W to try it. DELICIOUS!!!

I used to live in Leonia NJ. That area has one of the largest Korean poulations outside of Korea, I was going to say pretty much the same thing as you did. It can also be spicy or sweet (or both). It is VEFRY popular around here - the local Shop Rite used to sell a dozen of so varieties.

Anyway, it seems that hot dogs now serve as a vehicle for just about anything. Case in point, the mac and cheese dog - mac and cheese is far from a side dish as well.

Me, I would rather just try some kimchi at the F&W, or maybe as you said, some bachan - whatever they want to bring out.

Regardless of what you put on top of it - it's simply not a hot dog unless it was cooked on a grill and served in a grilled New England style bun.
Although I say Gulden's brown mustard and sweet relish is the only way to top it. And by top it I mean under the dog on the bun!

I'm not a fan of any WDW dogs...

Now that's a bun! :joyfull:
