A Little Story About This Dish…
Straight from the Carnival Mid-Way, comes this beloved recipe for our version of Corn Dogs, which is a delicious treat for both young and old.
Cut into smaller “pups”, they can be served as a fun appetizer treat or, piled high for a straight up carnival meal.
Omitting the chili powder and cumin will give you the traditional corn dog flavor, but we like this “Detroit” twist.
