Chicago-Style Hot Dogs

Instructions

• Prepare the grill for direct cooking over medium heat (180º to 230ºC).  
• Cut each tomato slice in half to make half-moons. Cut a few well-spaced diagonal shallow slashes crosswise along one side of each hot dog.
• Brush the cooking grates clean. Grill the hot dogs over direct medium heat, with the lid closed, until lightly marked on the outside and hot all the way to the center, 4 to 5 minutes, turning occasionally. Remove from the grill.
