Available from January 1st to 31st, the new Hot-N-Ranch Corn Dog is truly a one-of-a-kind dish you won't want to miss out on. This creative take on a corn dog starts with [Dog Haus'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorado-green-chili-sausage) signature crispy root beer-battered all-beef corn dog and then cranks up the heat with some Nashville hot spices. The hot dog is then butterflied down the middle and topped with a combination of miso ranch, chipotle aioli, and sweet pickle relish, which packs heat and flavor into every bite. As Dog Haus Co-Founder Hagop Giragossian explains, "[Josh's] way of mashing up flavors makes waves in the same way Dog Haus does. And now, he’s brought a fresh new look and feel to our [classic corn dog](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wienerschnitzel-1). He nailed it! It’s a really cool way to eat a corn dog."
