Hot Dog on a Stick Mozzarella Cheese on a Stick with Sriracha Ketchup

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Hot Dog on a Stick, go read about them on their website (WARNING: Bright colors ahead). Not only does the chain offer hot dogs on a stick, but they also offer cheese on a stick, like American Cheese on a Stick and Pepperjack Cheese on a Stick. But now there’s a new cheese on the block…I mean on the stick.

Mozzarella Cheese on a Stick features the cheese dipped into the hot dog chain’s party batter, which is then cooked to a golden brown. The dairy on a stick is being paired with a new sriracha ketchup.

To celebrate the new offering and National Cheese Day, Hot Dog on a Stick will be giving away one free Mozzarella Cheese on a Stick on Wednesday, January 20.
