In the second episode of Jet Tila’s Cooking with Coyote, Chef Jet Tila proves once again that anything you can cook indoors can be made even better outdoors. This time, Jet brings a taste of Los Angeles street food to your backyard by creating the iconic L.A. Bacon-Wrapped Street Dog. Along with this mouth-watering hot dog, Jet also whips up a batch of ooey-gooey cheese fries that are sure to make any outdoor cookout unforgettable.

The Star of the Show: L.A. Bacon-Wrapped Street Dog

Jet starts the episode by challenging all the cities that claim to have the best hot dogs. But in true L.A. fashion, he takes the competition to a whole new level by crafting the famous Bacon-Wrapped Street Dog, a staple of Los Angeles street food culture.

Using the Coyote Flat Top (Plancha) Griddle Accessory placed on the Coyote Power Burner, Jet sizzles up some delicious Applegate Hotdogs wrapped in Applegate Bacon. The Plancha is perfect for achieving that perfect crisp on the bacon while ensuring the hotdog inside remains juicy and flavorful. The combination of smoky bacon and a perfectly grilled hot dog is nothing short of culinary magic.

Jet then layers on all the classic street dog toppings: sautéed onions and peppers, a ketchup and mustard drizzle, and mayo. Each bite captures the essence of L.A. street food, bringing the bustling city right to your backyard.

Side Dish: Ooey-Gooey Cheese Fries

No street dog is complete without a side of indulgent fries, and Jet doesn’t disappoint. He takes thick, hand-cut potatoes and cooks them to crispy perfection, then elevates them to the next level by melting a mix of Applegate Monterey Jack and Cheddar Cheese over the top.

Jet uses the Coyote Outdoor 30″ Hybrid Multi-Fuel Pizza Oven to melt the cheese, creating a gooey, rich topping that blankets the fries in deliciousness. The intense heat of the pizza oven gives the cheese a perfect melt while the potatoes remain crispy underneath. These cheese fries are the perfect accompaniment to the bacon-wrapped street dog, offering a comforting, cheesy contrast to the smoky, savory flavors of the hot dog.

Jet’s Tips for Authentic Street Food at Home

Throughout the episode, Jet shares his insider tips for creating authentic street vendor food in your own backyard. He emphasizes the importance of high-quality ingredients, like those from Applegate. He shows how the right equipment, like the Coyote Power Burner and Flat Top Griddle Accessory, can make all the difference in achieving that perfect street food flavor and texture.

By the end of the episode, Jet has once again proven that outdoor cooking can easily rival—if not surpass—anything you make indoors. His Bacon-Wrapped Street Dog and Cheese Fries are the ultimate comfort foods, made even better by the fresh air and grill sizzle.
