Hawaiian-style hot dogs are made with smoky polish sausage served on a toasted Hawaiian sweet bun that has a hole punched out of the middle. The hole or "puka" is filled with tropical fruits and sauces, such as pineapple or mango mustard, and garlic lemon sauce.[https://thetakeout.com/hawaii-best-food-kauai-puka-dog-poi-lau-lau-haupia-1849595035 Hawaii Does Hot Dogs Differently, The Takeout] Retrieved 4 April 2024. Puka hot dog stands use a heated rod that pokes the hole in the bun and toasts the inside at the same time. This prevents the inside of the bun from getting soggy from the sauces.[https://www.thespruceeats.com/puka-dog-4774786 Puka dogs at Spruce Eats] Retrieved 4 April 2024. The resulting puka dog is sweet, salty, and spicy.

"Coney joints" are very specific as to the ingredients: a beef or beef and pork European-style Vienna sausage of German origin in a natural lamb or sheep casing, topped with a spiced sauce made with ground beef heart, one or two stripes of yellow mustard and diced or chopped white onions.

The most common brands of spicy hot dogs used are Sabrett's or Best's, both of which are NJ companies. A traditional Italian Hot Dog is made by cutting a round "pizza bread" in half (for a double) or into quarters (for a single), cutting a pocket into it and spreading the inside with mustard. A deep-fried dog (or two if it is a double) is put in the pocket, topped with fried (or sautéed) onions and peppers, and then topped off with crisp-fried potato chunks. A variation of this, often found at express takeout restaurants (such as "chicken shacks," Chinese restaurants, pizzerias, etc., and can also be requested at some lunch trucks and luncheonettes across the state) substitutes French fries for the traditional potato round, and in some spots a Portuguese or sub roll replaces the traditional round bread used.{{cite news|last=Levine|first=Ed|title=It's All in How the Dog Is Served|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/25/dining/25dogs.html|access-date=2011-01-21|newspaper=New York Times|date=May 25, 2005|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110830110301/http://www.nytimes.com/2005/05/25/dining/25dogs.html|archive-date=August 30, 2011|url-status=live}}

Hot dogs are even used as a filling for raisin bread together with shredded dried pork.{{cite web |url=http://importfood.com/thai_vendors/street_vendor_bbqsquid.html |title=Thai Street Vendor Prepares Charcoal Barbequed Snacks, 'Luke Chinping' |publisher=ImportFood.com |access-date=2014-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140202220256/http://importfood.com/thai_vendors/street_vendor_bbqsquid.html |archive-date=2014-02-02 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |author=Kodi |url=http://kodikassell.blogspot.nl/ |title=A 'Farangs' trek through a Culture of Food and the Unknown- Thailand |publisher=Kodikassell.blogspot.nl |access-date=2014-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201231740/http://kodikassell.blogspot.nl/ |archive-date=2014-02-01 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |last=Kimo |first=Captain |url=http://captainkimo.com/fried-hot-dogs-on-stick-from-ban-kruat-thailand/ |title=Fried Hot Dogs on Stick from Ban Kruat Thailand |publisher=Captainkimo.com |date=2011-11-28 |access-date=2014-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140331191106/http://captainkimo.com/fried-hot-dogs-on-stick-from-ban-kruat-thailand/ |archive-date=2014-03-31 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |author=Brock |url=http://www.travelfish.org/blogs/thailand/2011/07/14/hidden-charms-of-bangkoks-khlong-san-pier/ |title=Bangkok's Khlong San Pier | The Thailand blog |publisher=Travelfish.org |date=2011-07-14 |access-date=2014-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201174534/http://www.travelfish.org/blogs/thailand/2011/07/14/hidden-charms-of-bangkoks-khlong-san-pier/ |archive-date=2014-02-01 |url-status=live }}{{cite web |url=http://teach-english-abroad-blog-thailand.ciee.org/2011/07/did-you-know.html |title=Did you know...? |publisher=Teach Abroad Thailand Blog | Teach English in Thailand | CIEE: Becky and Ryan |date=2011-10-07 |access-date=2014-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160115060143/http://teach-english-abroad-blog-thailand.ciee.org/2011/07/did-you-know.html |archive-date=2016-01-15 |url-status=live }}{{nonspecific|date=January 2019}} The Thai dish called khao phat Amerikan or American fried rice, rice fried with tomato ketchup and containing raisins, is always served with hot dogs and a fried egg.{{cite web |author=Leela |url=http://www.shesimmers.com/2009/05/on-american-fried-rice-and-dead-sea.html |title=American Fried Rice (ข้าวผัดอเมริกัน) and the Dead Sea Scrolls |publisher=SheSimmers |date=2009-05-08 |access-date=2014-01-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140201220924/http://shesimmers.com/2009/05/on-american-fried-rice-and-dead-sea.html |archive-date=2014-02-01 |url-status=live }} Donut sai krok is the Thai name for a sausage filled savoury donut in the shape of a log.

Hot dogs in the Czech Republic are known as párek v rohlíku, which can be literally translated as "sausage in roll", with the label "hot dog" also applied in marketing to both locals and tourists. Czech-style hot dogs are differentiated by the fact that rather than slicing the bun in half and placing the sausage into the resultant cleavage, the top of the bun is cut off, with a hole punched into the softer inside of the bun where condiments and then the sausage is placed, similar to the Ketwurst. Specially designed appliances (stroj na párek v rohlíku,{{cite web |author=Elektro OK |url=http://www.elektrook.cz/stroj-na-parek-v-rohlik |title=Stroj na párek v rohlíku |publisher=Elektrook.cz |date=2013-03-19 |access-date=2014-01-27 |trans-title=Hotdog machine |language=cs |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140112230005/http://www.elektrook.cz/stroj-na-parek-v-rohlik |archive-date=2014-01-12 |url-status=live }} literally appliance for sausage in bun) that consist of a hot-water cooker for the sausages and heated metal spikes to punch the holes and pre-warm the buns also exist to assist vendors with preparation of this dish.{{Citation needed|date=August 2021}}

{{Main|Kuuma koira}}

Kuuma koira is regional fast food served in the Pirkanmaa area. The name means a hot dog in Finnish, but it is a different dish. It is prepared by serving a steamed sausage in a sugar-coated doughnut.

Even though the type of sausage that led to the creation of the modern hot dog in the United States is undeniably German, German hot dog culture is mainly influenced by Scandinavian—mostly Danish—elements. This does not affect the type of sausage (unlike the Danish rød pølse, German hot dogs usually have frankfurt- or wiener-style sausages) but the condiments—ketchup, mustard or Danish-style remoulade depending on individual preference as well as roasted onions and thinly sliced pickles—are usually marketed as a Danish influence. While sauerkraut is a common, distinctively German, topping in the US, it is not typical in Germany. Grilling the sausage, which is common in America, is largely unknown in Germany where it is steamed like its Scandinavian counterparts.

The Iceland Monitor writes that "locals, expatriates and holiday-makers alike must all be familiar with Iceland's national dish—hot-dogs with all the trimmings (‘pylsa með öllu’ in Icelandic). The hot-dog sausage is served in bread and liberally accompanied with fried onion, raw onion, mustard, ketchup and remoulade (a cold sauce made with mayonnaise and various condiments and herbs). This snack is traditionally washed down with copious amounts of Coca-Cola."{{cite web|url=http://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/culture_and_living/2015/03/26/hot_dog_inflation/|title=Hot-dog inflation!|access-date=2017-02-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170205095640/http://icelandmonitor.mbl.is/news/culture_and_living/2015/03/26/hot_dog_inflation/|archive-date=2017-02-05|url-status=live}}

In August 2006, the British newspaper The Guardian selected Iceland's Bæjarins beztu as the best hot dog stand in Europe.{{cite web |url=http://www.visir.is/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060822/LIFID01/108220011/1120 |title=Selur bestu pylsur í Evrópu |publisher=Visir.is |date=22 August 2006 |access-date=2014-01-27 |trans-title=Sells the best hot dogs in Europe |language=is |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303184244/http://www.visir.is/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20060822%2FLIFID01%2F108220011%2F1120 |archive-date=3 March 2016 |url-status=live }} Bæjarins beztu pylsur (English: The best hot dog in town) often shortened to simply "Bæjarins beztu," is a popular hot dog stand in central Reykjavík. Hot dogs from this stand are derived from the Danish hot dog. They are often ordered with "the works," i.e., all condiments, or in Icelandic "eina með öllu". Icelandic hot dogs are made from Icelandic lamb, pork and beef and served with a mix of raw white and fried onion, ketchup, sweet brown mustard, and remoulade.{{cite web|title=Bæjarins Beztu in English|url=http://www.bbp.is/information-in-english|website=Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur|access-date=1 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160731160635/http://www.bbp.is/information-in-english|archive-date=31 July 2016|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url = http://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2014-08-21/the-one-dish-to-eat-in-iceland|website = www.cntraveler.com|date = 21 August 2014|access-date = 2015-07-02|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150703002055/http://www.cntraveler.com/stories/2014-08-21/the-one-dish-to-eat-in-iceland|archive-date = 2015-07-03|url-status = live| title=The One Dish to Eat in Iceland }}

In Norway, sausages are most often served in white buns, or in a traditional lompe.{{cite web |title=Oslo loves hot dogs |url=https://www.visitoslo.com/en/articles/oslo-elsker-polser/ |website=Visit Oslo |access-date=16 April 2020}} The sausages are grilled or warmed in hot water, and they are normally served with ketchup or mustard. Alternative condiments includes potato salad, shrimp salad, fried or raw onions. Many Norwegians will order "pølse med alt", a hot dog with all the condiments. Local specialties occur, such as reindeer dogs in the north and hot dogs served in a waffle in the south east.{{cite web |title=Pølse: Norwegian hot dog |url=https://cheapskates.guide/oslo/eat/polse-norwegian-hot-dog |website=Cheapskate's guide to Oslo |access-date=16 April 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190530231844/https://cheapskates.guide/oslo/eat/polse-norwegian-hot-dog |archive-date=30 May 2019 |language=en |date=11 January 2017}}

In Sweden, hot dogs are often served in a bread roll with mashed potatoes, roasted onion, mustard and ketchup, and with either shrimp salad or bostongurka (sometimes both); often by the name of "Tunnbrödsrulle" (thin bread roll) or some variation. "Varmkorv med bröd" (hot dog with bread), topped with mustard and ketchup, is widely sold all over Sweden from stands and in kiosks and fast food restaurants.{{cite web|url=http://www.stockholmskallan.se/Soksida/Post/?nid=14813|title=Från konfektyrkiosk till thaikök : kiosker och gatukök i ytterstaden / artikelförfattare: Christina Andersson ...|work=stockholmskallan.se|access-date=14 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402120902/http://www.stockholmskallan.se/Soksida/Post/?nid=14813|archive-date=2 April 2015|url-status=live}}

In Ukraine beside more classic hot dogs there is a variation called slow-dog. Different types of boiled sausages served in a partially sliced brioche or malt bread with various toppings, such as beetroot, salt and vinegar flavoured potato chips, chili peppers, paprika, lettuce, cucumber, buckwheat popcorn, hazelnut rusk, and sauces.{{Cite web|url=https://www.klo.ua/stocks/slow-dog/|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20211126135409/https://www.klo.ua/stocks/slow-dog/|archive-date = 2021-11-26|title = Слоу-фуд - час для себе}}
