It's been a little warm in Georgia the past couple of days. The warm weather put my Mom in the mood to grill up some hot dogs and to fry up some home made hand cut French fries at the house!

For the hot dogs we grilled Hebrew National all beef hot dogs.

There's a famous hotdog/old fashion/drive-in from Atlanta, GA called "The Varsity". My Mom got a can of chili from their location in Athens, GA. This chili is awesome! It's all beef and has a great meaty texture.

My mom also grated up some sharp cheddar cheese.

Also, gotta have some diced onions to give those hot dogs a nice bite!

I always like to use French's mustard on my hot dogs.

For some good ol' munchin', we had some Nora Mills sweet pickles that my mom brought back from the mountains. We cracked open the jar before dinner and we ate them all! They're so good!

Now onto the homemade hand cut fries! My mom peeled and I sliced up the potatoes. She soaked them in water for a little while. She says that this makes them crispier when frying.

Here's the fries right when they first went in the pan.

And here's the fries when they have started to fry up pretty good.

And here's the finished product!

Now I'm gonna show how I constructed my chili cheese dog from start to finish. Follow the pictures below. My hotdog had mustard, diced onions, sharp cheddar cheese, varsity brand beef chili, and extra cheese on top.
