What is "white hot"?
A white hot is a type of hot dog that is popular in the Western New York region, particularly in the city of Rochester. The hot dog is made from a mixture of pork, beef, and veal, and is characterized by its pale color, which is achieved by using less or no paprika in the seasoning. The white hot is typically grilled or boiled, and may be served on a bun with condiments such as mustard, relish, onions, and hot sauce. The white hot has a unique and slightly sweet flavor, and is often enjoyed as a snack or meal at local hot dog stands, diners, and sports events. It is a beloved food item in the region and has become a cultural symbol of Rochester and Western New York.
