Hot Dog Styles in Alabama

Hot dog topped with local slaw; typically ketchup-based 'red slaw' (Scottsboro) or mustard-spiked 'hot slaw' (North Alabama). Birmingham adds house slaw with mustard/sauce.

A Birmingham Hot Dog is a classic Southern dog served on a steamed bun with a spicy ground beef–based chili, yellow mustard, and chopped onions — sometimes with a dash of hot sauce or slaw, depending on the joint.
