New Zealand Family Try American CORN DOGS For The First Time! (WE COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS)

[@nunyabidness9692]

Great job! As an American (fry expert), I have two tips: when frying, remember that whatever you’re frying will continue to cook outside of the oil. The rule is that fried foods will get 1-2 shades darker as it cools. 2nd tip: instead of putting fried food on paper towels, put a wire rack on a plate and put your food on the rack. Your food will be way crispier! Those corn dogs turned out amazing :)

[@ryanboutr7756]

cooling on a rack is definitely the move, pro tip right there

Same here. I've loved corn dogs ever since I was a kid. Now that I've grown up, I've become a bit of a corn dog snob. The hot dog sausage must be from beef/pork, NOT chicken. I refuse to eat corn dogs made with chicken meat.

[@lowe48x14]

Quick safety tip, Atlanta. Keep the handle on your frying pan/pot pointed 30 degrees backwards, so that it is much harder to accidentally hit the handle and spill hot oil you, or your family members (including your pup). Love watching you guys' videos, btw. Seeing Denzel drop the corn dog into the oil while standing so close to the pan kind of scared me. Just some safety pointers. Thanks, guys.

[@mikeduncan3953]

Yeah, as someone who worked in kitchens for over a decade, any time you're dropping something into hot oil like that, you want the part that is dropping to be facing away from you, to ensure you get no splashback.

[@lisal6121]

Hot oil is no joke! I let a pan with about an inch of oil get too hot. When I touched the handle the oil burst into flame. You CANT put an oil fire out with water. Luckily I had the correct lid close at hand and I could slide the lid on quickly, the lack of air extinguished the fire. Panicking was an understatement.

[@mikeduncan3953]

@@blakerh Not competing or anything, but I was once changing the oil from an industrial fryer, when I picked up the pot it caught on the drain spout and a little splashed onto my hand causing that hand to let go and about 5 liters of hot oil poured onto my foot. About 6 months and a few skin grafts later and I had a foot that almost didn't look like hamburger.

[@lowe48x14]

@@lisal6121 Perfect response on your part. Only three ways to save a house from an oil fire. Suffocation by smothering with a lid, as long as the hot oil fire hasn't gotten too hot, removal by carrying it outside (very dangerous), or by fire extinguisher (also very dangerous, unless you are properly trained). With a fire extinguisher, always remember to turn off the heat FIRST! Then, when spraying the fire extinguisher, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER point it directly at the oil fire. ALWAYS START ABOVE THE FIRE, and move down somewhat slowly to extinguish the fire. Also, while spraying your fire extinguisher, swipe slightly side-to-side. NEVER NEVER NEVER fire off your fire extinguisher from less than ten feet away, unless you have no other choice. IF YOU ARE WITHIN FIVE FEET, leave, and call the fire department. Treat ALL liquid based fires this way. If you point the fire extinguisher directly at a liquid based fire, it can blow burning oil (on-fire oil) onto surrounding walls, crevices, and even people and animals in some circumstances... and can sometimes blow the burning liquid directly back at you.

I (USA) had a couple corn-dogs just a few days ago. Corn bread can be a bit dry by itself, IMO. Cornbread will forever remind me of how heavenly it tasted with my mother's vegetarian red bean chili, diced raw onions, sour cream, and shredded cheese. That'll fill you up.

[@kfl611]

I bought an old cooker, like a very early (1920s) crock pot. The lid clamps down. Well I mixed up a batch of corn bread and put in 3/4ths of a can of kernel corn, and cooked it in the cooker, in 2 mini loaf pans. It came out very moist. I think the canned corn helped and the steam not being able to escape helped but it took like over an hour to cook. But it was very good. Also I think it being rather high - as the pan even though it was small was a loaf shaped pan, helped too. I've cooked my cornbread when the pan was too big and the cornbread was too thin and it came out very dry. I think like a muffin, it needs to be a certain height when the batter is raw to hold in the moisture.

It honestly never occurred to me to make my own. Those look so good! In the US we generally just buy them from the grocery store in the frozen section and then heat them up in the oven before eating. At a carnival or fair they will do them in oil from scratch like that though. You’re making me want to try making these now. Also, I like to mix ketchup and mustard together for hot dogs or corn dogs. They’re good plain too. Also you’ve got to try cornbread. It’s made in a square cake pan and is basically the same batter as a corn dog. Probably can find a recipe online. It’s a bit fluffier than that batter. And we eat it with butter and honey or sometimes will spoon chili over it (kind of a thick stew of beans and hamburger). It’s so delicious.

If you're an old southern lady (me), you make corn bread in an iron skillet. The best corn meal is White Lily. I use self-rising (no need to add salt or baking powder). If you can find a bag of White Lily, the recipe is on the back. I always make mine a little thinner than suggested. It is WONDERFUL. Eat it with anything. We always have it with soup beans, but anything is good. My mama used to eat it with breakfast gravy. I like it that way, too. We just eat it with a meal, no matter what we're having. Hope you can find White Lily somewhere. If not, let me know and I'll ship you a bag! Blessings!

When I (63f) was a teenager, there was a mall in town that had a corn dog stand in the mall. They served corn dogs, cheese dogs and shish-ka-dogs. The cheese dogs were made by putting a stick of cheese on the skewer and then, dipping the cheese in the corn bread mixture and then, into boiling oil. The shish-ka-dog was made by putting bite-sized pieces of hot dog and cheese on the skewer like a kabob (every other piece) and dipping it in the corn bread mixture and then, into the oil. Those were my FAVORITE!!! They had the corn bread mixture in a metal container and boiling oil in another metal container. It was set up so that you could watch the workers make the dogs, which was fun to watch! I hope you see this so that you can try making cheese dogs and shish-ka-dogs.

We have corndogs available all year long at our Sonic Drive-in restaurants. Pretty close in taste to State Fair Corn Dogs. Sonic will sometimes have Corn Dog sales where you either get them for 50cents each or buy one get one free, which is about 75cents. Also a local shop in OKC that makes Corn Dogs with the same corn meal batter, but cooks them with any type of sausage or hotdog inside, such as Bratwurst, Knackwurst, Hot Links, Hot Dogs (chicken, turkey, beef) or conventional hot dogs(cheap hot dogs) which contain a mixture of pork, chicken, beef. I like the conventional corn dogs because that is what I grew up eating. To just be extreme, the stat fairs will offer foot long corn dogs, usually 2 hotdogs on 1 stick. Also can find the batter with jalapenos mixed in to spice things up. Now they will even mix fruity pebbles into the batter, not for me. My former wife made them for her kids w/o the stick. When she made them for me, I wanted to jab a chop stick inside just to have it on a stick. That's the fun thing about eating corn dogs, its on a stick!

[@delaniebanta76]

I really love how you guys go ALL IN on these American foods, like I want to introduce you to so many new things!

[@dfrost666]

Love that you guys tried actual American style Corn Dogs. Another channel I watch said they were trying American Corn Dogs but really they tried Korean Corn Dogs. Totally different. Corn Dogs are definitely synonymous with all of the United but being born in raised in the South and like to convince myself we know the Corn Dog just a little bit better and mustard is the only thing I have ever seen on a Corn Dog

[@mkygod]

Yep, Korean Corn Dogs are a misnomer because it contains no corn. It usually uses rice flour. Even the Korean places that sell it don't call it corn dogs; they just call it Korean hotdogs; but everyone tends to call it a corn dog because that's what it looks like.

[@zacharycaron4834]

The fact that y'all made homemade corn dogs is amazing. I say that because I've only ever witnessed somebody make corn dogs from scratch one time in my whole life every other time they're bought in a frozen box at Walmart or whatever grocery store. Good for you guys! I bet they tasted amazing.

[@Anne-pv9cb]

I used to make them often when my husband and I were young and poor. I had hotdogs and cornmeal on hand so....lol.

[@juliaweber212]

I agree it's way more simple then I thought

[@dannyp9537]

Agreed I've never made them myself, they've inspired me. I usually wait for the carnival or fair and pair it with some Fiske fries topped with malt vinegar and a real lemonade to wash it down. PS Mustard or ketchup is all that is required. I did once have one wrapped in bacon, not sure how they achieved that.

[@theJohnGaltLine]

I think the sticks tend to be flat here too. I don't recall ever having one with a skewer. I definitely prefer the mustard/ketchup mix at around a ratio of 35% mustard to 65% ketchup. I use the corn dog to blend the two together.

[@netdoctor]

Your videos are always a high point of my day. As for the corn dog condiments, I create a mixture of ketchup and mustard (about half and half) and use that as my dip. My daughters do the same with their families now, and I suspect my grandkids will pass it down as well. They just don't taste the same with *only* ketchup or mustard anymore.

[@840kat]

I’m glad you tried catchup and mustard mixed! I prefer it that way! Also you can use a popsicle stick too. I think it’s whatever you find for it!! Always my favorite is when you try new foods. As a side note, I never heard of raspberry coke and didn’t know it existed, but I am glad ya’ll enjoyed it and will have to look for it next time I’m at the store.

[@waymakers_kid9904]

You guys crack me up! I can't stop laughing at your antics 🤣. When you come to America I hope you continue your videos. Your reactions to being here and your adventures here would be fascinating! God bless your family and all the viewers!

[@jerrywilson589]

Pup some chopped sweet onion, chopped green peppers, pepper, a pinch of cayenne and some sugar or honey in that batter, spoon drop some balls in that grease and you will have some amazing Hushpuppies!

[@flamem9260]

I love watching your videos. They bring me so much cheer. To see you all react to common and simple things we take for granted is amazing. Personally, I'm a mustard and ketchup corndog combo kinda girl. But another alternative to the corndog, besides mini corndogs, is the "Pigs-In-The-Blanket". Wrap biscuit dough around a hotdog, cook in the oven for amount of time on the biscuits, and enjoy with mustard, ketchup, or the combo of them. I use canned biscuits, it saves time. Although another good alternative to the Pigs-In-The-Blanket, is using croissant dough instead of biscuit.

[@delianoles3960]

My favorite - corn dogs - I used to make mini corn dogs for my neice when she was little - easy cut the hot dog into slices or rounds, dip in the sweetened corn batter and fry them up - serve with condiment(s) of choice - the are easy for toddlers (finger food)

[@lewisreeves3993]

Awesome family! I have shared to many! They all like! Cheers to you!

[@FyCMystery]

Every time I see your videos about American food I want to transport your family to my favorite places for each item. I applaud your 'clan' for cooking them from scratch. But it is nothing compared to the Original.

[@stevenbest6408]

I LOVE corn dogs, and have since I was a kid! Yes, they're a HUGE thing at many state fairs. Ours in Texas is next month and I know the corn dogs will be beyond amazing. There's just something about walking around a fair while munching on a corn dog slathered in mustard that's deeply ingrained into our culture. Since you asked, yes, you can absolutely put other things besides mustard on a corn dog; here in Texas, serving them in paper bowl covered in chili & cheese is very popular. I suggest you give this a try, I'm sure you'll love it. Cheers Y'all!

[@DianaB2222]

Footlong corn dogs next and maybe cheese on a stick covered with the same corn batter

[@catw6998]

Do you do a Denzi eating your corn dog ever or is it biting strictly from one end to the, I guess last bite at bottom? I suspect most people pull the stick out prior to eating them, especially if they’re walking around at a fair? I wouldn’t really know. I’ve never tried them myself since I don’t eat a lot of “fried” food, per se. I’m usually doing baked or grilled.

[@kateg7298]

I wonder if they've ever made Frito Pies. Us Texans know that they're great for walking around with. Makes me want to send them Fritos and Wolf Chili.

[@Jml416]

The corn dog was actually invented in Texas by Fletcher's and given out free at the Great State Fair of Texas the first year to introduce them. I can't remember off hand what year that was, but a staple at the fair ever since.

[@stevenbest6408]

@@kateg7298 Good point. I believe I'd skip the Wolf Brand canned stuff though. Kinda gross. How about a variety of Wick Folwer's in varying degrees of heat? That way, they'd have FRESH chili and could choose their own hear level.

[@shenaniganss_4259]

I like to dip my corn dogs in both ketchup and mustard at the same time.. You guys should try American Fair Foods.. Not sure how much of these things you have tried or have in NZ, but staple fair foods in America are the Corn Dogs, Elephant Ears, Funnel Cakes, Deep Fried Ice Cream, Deep Fried Oreos, Deep Fried Butter… (lots of deep fried things lol)

[@BucksDaughter]

My hubby and I are in our 70s and we still love to eat corndogs! We get ours in the freezer section. It's not the same as eating them at a county fair but we enjoy them just the same. I prefer Hunt's ketchup on mine. :)

[@ericgandy1291]

I grew up eating Hunts Ketchup, and then we switched to Heinz somewhere along the way. I ate some Hunts a few years ago and it was better. My favorite now is French's because it tastes like the Monarch ketchup packets you get at some restaurants. I don't even know what I may put on a corn dog until I open the fridge. Mayonnaise mixed with mustard, straight mustard, mustard mixed with honey, ketchup, or rarely some BBQ sauce which I normally regret.

[@chefssaltybawlz]

Whataburger spicy ketchup all the way.

[@brianfiorenza1647]

[@MarcHughes-s1n]

I really enjoy watching your videos. As an American we take many of these things on your videos for granted. I appreciate your attitude and open mindedness. I love corn dogs. My love of the corn dog centers on the type of frank and the type of breading that is used. The condiments are only used if the corn dog can't support itself. I myself prefer no condiments. I think mustard is way overrated. I understand that's just my opinion. To each his own taste. I have enjoyed eating corn dogs for over sixty years. Your family is great. Keep up the good work. I am looking forward to all your new videos.

[@laurenb9479]

I love watching Atlanta's Kitchen episodes, but it was so fun to see you all cooking together 😁 I have never had deep fried corn dogs made from scratch...only the pre-made ones from freezer section at the grocery store. I believe the ones I buy are made with beef and we love them! I haven't tried mustard with them, only ketchup, so I will definitely do that next time we have some 😁

[@catw6998]

I have to try them as well. I commend her making from scratch. I’ve done hot oil with funnel cakes and potato pancakes but really not a fan of cooking with either one. I might try the store bought and use the convection setting. We have at least 2 versions of mustard on hand. I’ve been seeing many versions of catsup on store shelves lately as well.

That was great 👍 I laughed out loud 🤣 I love you all! Thanks for the fun video 💕 P.S. As a unique twist, we also have breakfast ones that are made with breakfast sausage on a stick and the batter is made with pancake mix. Dipped in maple syrup, they are so good, too! 😋

Corn Dogs are a fun food to experiment with as far as different dips. I have had them with maple syrup drizzled on top before, and they are great. You wouldn't expect something that sweet would pair well with the corn and the savory meat, but it does. The kind of dog and mustard used also makes a big difference with the traditional Corn Dog. In Chicago, we use Vienna Pure Beef dogs and spicy brown or Dijon mustard. Thanks, guys!!

[@cookielady7662]

Great video, everyone. Whenever I eat corn dogs I pour a variety of different dips like BBQ sauce, Mustard, and Ranch. I take turns dipping it into a different sauce with each bite. 🤤 But anyone can dip their corn dogs into whatever they like, I’ve even seen some people enjoy dipping theirs into maple syrup! 😯

It's wonderful that you are spending such truly quality time with your family. These children are blessed to get such a great start in the world. I'm glad you like the corn dogs. As for my personal twist on them. Include 2 teaspoons onion powder and 1 teaspoon season salt in the batter while mixing it up. The flavor changes and is ideal with mustard only (no ketchup on my dogs, but you do you). I hope you have the opportunity to try this version. Take care

I love watching your wonderful family. I get excited everytime I see a new post. The corn dogs looked very typical of an American corn dog. However, there are variations. My favorite is to replace the hotdog with a piece of string cheese (mozzarella stick). YUMMMMMMY!! Second is try a normal corn dog but mix mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise together as a dipping sauce. If you want to crazy, add a spoonful of sweet pickle relish to the sauce. You will be in heaven. Stop by Prescott, AZ on your way to the grand canyon and my wife and I will treat you all to dinner. Either home cooked or we will go to a great American BBQ restaurant. Hope to hear from you! Matt
