The OP should have included the southern style slaw dog on this poll. It probably wouldn't have gotten any votes, but putting cole slaw on a hot dog is a big thing in the South.

Hmmm? I realllllyyyy enjoyed pulled pork sandwiches topped with Coleslaw in Memphis. Presuming that you're in Atlanta. Where can I get a slaw dog? It sounds delightful. Or, is this something that you all do at home?
Yeah, I'm stopping at the Publix when I take the children out later. I'm intrigued!

That'll be too controversial for our local hot dog snobs. I thought about also mentioning the Montreal Hot Dog which contains vinegary coleslaw, but I know the Midwestern hot dog tastemakers who run this place might not accept that as an authentic regional hot dog recipe known by enough of the population.
Oh, the old "Google-cherry-picked-search-term" litmus test. Well, if it passes that, you must be right. My apologies.
Why on God's green earth would anybody be searching "cream cheese hot dog" in google, anyway?
I do? Who made you the arbiter?
Anyway, I guarantee you that about 100% of Americans know what a Chicago-style hot dog is, what Chicago-style pizza is, and some non-negligable majority have heard of Cincinnati Chili. I don't really consider NY to have a style of pizza.
I still say that a hallmark of regional fare is how well-known and closely associated it is with its place. You seem to disagree....probably because you like to pretend that Seattle has a special hot dog.
There are thousands, upon thousands, upon thousands of dishes that satisfy those exact same conditions, that are not "regional varieties" of a given food.
So the many links to national (not in Seattle) websites, videos, etc. (including the Today show) referring to the "Seattle style hot dog" are all completely wrong? Because some guy who knows nothing about Seattle (who incidentally also never heard of a Louie Salad) declares that, in fact, there is no "Seattle-style" hot dog? Got it.

You can find slaw dogs all over the place here. It's not that far away from the ubiquitous sauerkraut used on brats (and dogs) across the region.
I like slawdogs and all, but it's inferior to mustard + sauerkraut.
Cabbage and the like are great on hot dogs. I like kimchi, as well.
This thread inspired me to try a Seattle dog. It doesn't sound particularly good, but it is actually awesome. Cream cheese, Siracha and grilled onions - a great way to dress a dog.

I like cabbage, sauerkraut, or the more vinegary coleslaw on dogs--but creamy coleslaw isn't my thing. Just like the completo in Chile, too much mayonnaise isn't my hot dog topping of choice.
Japadog in Vancouver BC has a kimchi dog, and they also other dogs with shredded cabbage, though a lot of their offerings get into weirder, more non-hot dog creations.
