Banh Mi Hot Dog, Viet Mayo

A Banh Mi Hot Dog is a bold, fusion-style twist that brings together the smoky comfort of an American hot dog with the vibrant, punchy flavors of a Vietnamese bánh mì sandwich.

A broiled hot dog is nestled in a toasted brioche bun topped with quick-pickled carrots, onion, radish, and jalapeño plus fresh cucumber slices and cilantro. It’s served with a Vietnamese-style mayo on the side for dunking or drizzling. The mayonnaise is spiked with sriracha, lime juice, garlic, and fish sauce—bringing that creamy, spicy, umami-rich finish.
