Seattle-style hot dog

A Seattle-style hot dog, sometimes referred to as a Seattle Dog, is a hot dog topped with cream cheese that has become popular in Seattle.

Although the origins are not clear, it has been adopted as a regional variation.[1] The hot dogs are often sold at bars and their surounding street vendors at night.[2] They are also available at and near the city's sporting venues.[3][4]

The meat is typically grilled while the bun is usually toasted.[5] Polish sausage split down the middle is common. Popular additions include sauerkraut, grilled onions, scallions, jalapenos and other peppers, mustard, and Sriracha sauce.[6][7][8]
