The Hot Dog In Pensacola That Comes Topped With Fruity Pebbles And Sriracha

A hot dog can be a blank canvas for culinary creativity. Some of the more fascinating hot dog variations include topping hot dogs with cereal. Dumping cereal onto hot dogs has seen sports fans handling dogs topped with Fruit Loops, mac and cheese, and bacon, but these kinds of recipe are no gimmicks. Head to Pensacola, Florida, and make your way to The Dog House for a colorful presentation that is not only surprising on the palate but a feast for the eyes. 

The Dog House's signature recipes take the guesswork out of customers having to compile unique hot dog orders on the spot by offering up options like the Rubble Rage, a surprising combination of Fruity Pebbles, sriracha, sour cream, chili, mayo, ketchup, and mustard. The ingredient line up may sound haphazard, but the textures and flavors in this dish manage to walk the line to deliver a crunchy, creamy treat that could convert hot dog purists. "It was crazy different, none of it makes sense, but when you put everything together it's a symphony of flavor that can't be beat," remarked a sampler. This crunchy cacophony of sweet and savory flavors is one for the books, and though the unconventional list of ingredients may sound like a mess, the added bite of sweetened cereal complements some of the spicier punches presented by the hot sauce and chili, not to mention the familiar, savory flavor of the sausage.

Beyond appealing to the eyes with hot dogs topped with brightly colored cereal, the flavor combination of offering savory dogs topped with crunchy, sweet garnish is no accident. It's a creative take on a classic combination, and while the presentation might not be for everyone, those who appreciate a bit of sweet texture added to a meal may fall in love. 

After taking a bite out of the Rubble Rage, visiting customers may be more open to trusting The Dog House's culinary creativity. Other novelty hot dog orders include The Velvet Elvis made with banana, peanut butter, bacon, and honey; the Bougie, a dog topped with remoulade, sauerkraut, truffle oil, jalapeños, and potato chips; and Southern Charm, a hot dog made with bacon, cream cheese, and Coca-Cola onions. Customers can choose from a variety of hot dog styles for their orders. From all-beef footlongs to vegan Italian sausages, any hot dog can be topped with more traditional toppings like mustard, onions, and relish, or crowned with slaw or pineapple. For those with a persistent sweet tooth and space still left in the stomach, dessert cravings can be addressed by The Dog House's almost famous banana pudding, French toast bites, bread pudding topped with mandarin orange glaze, or the fried cream pie advertised with the description: "Don't ask... just trust us." With the Rubble Rage, this kind of trust is earned.
