knife and fork dog
n.— «I ate a hot dog at every arena, and the best by far were in Montreal, where the bun is slit on the top and they lightly butter it. Also, in Dallas, they have something called the “knife and fork” dog, which is a hot dog smothered in chili, cheese and onions. And yes, you do have to eat it with a knife and fork.» —“The highs and lows, best and worst from Williamson’s hockey odyssey” by David Amber ESPN.com Nov. 30, 2007.
