The host of the show "Binging with Babish" makes homemade bacon hot dogs using meat from ButcherBox. The process involves grinding the meat, mixing it with spices and cure, and then stuffing it into natural sheep casings. The hot dogs are then smoked and served with a variety of toppings, including jalapeno relish, mango salsa, and mesquite grilled onions. The host notes that while the individual toppings are delicious, they might work better together rather than separately. A third-party adjudicator, Sawyer, is brought in to try the hot dog and confirms that it is good. The episode is sponsored by ButcherBox, which offers high-quality meat products and free shipping for new members.
