Did you know there was such a thing as a Kansas City hot dog? No, it doesn't involve barbecue sauce.
According to a report on this morning's CBS Early Show featuring Real Simple magazine editor Sarah Humphries, there is such a thing as a "Kansas City Dog." The dog is described at cbsnews.com as a "take on the Ruben" -- that's right, a misspelling of the Reuben sandwich, a culinary creation that has absolutely no historical connection to Kansas City, by the way -- with sauerkraut and melted swiss cheese.
Who knew? According to the three local hot dog devotees I called about this sandwich, they had never heard of a Kansas City Dog before, but they were all up for sampling one.

My kc dog = 2 strips of bacon, slice of cheese, drowned in gourmet Buttermilk Ranch dressing. Forget that kraut b.s.
River Dogs had a KC dog, but it looks like they closed up shop when I drove by last week. I think it may have involved chili and kraut.
...with, maybe, a splash of Arthur Bryant's barbecue sauce and a crushed-up Val-O-Milk Bar.
I would have guessed that a Kansas City dog involved ketchup, mustard and dill relish. What do I know?
