Puka dogs are Hawaiian-style hot dogs served at, of course, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pukadog.com\/\">Puka Dog<\/a> in Poipu on Kauai. &#8220;Puka&#8221; is Hawaiian for hole &#8211; as in puka shell necklaces, where many small shells with holes in the center are strung on a necklace. Puka dogs start out with large buns that, instead of being sliced down the center as traditional buns are, have a hole poked lengthwise right in the center. Each bun is closed at the bottom, to hold in the hot dog and all the relishes topping it, and open at the top so everything can fit inside.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/bakingbites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/04\/img_4870.JPG\" alt=\"Puka Dog Menu\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The toppings are what make these dogs unique. The dogs themselves are polish sausages (or veggie dogs). They are topped with one of three sauces &#8211; mild, medium or spicy &#8211; one of a variety of tropical relishes, as well as with mustard. The relishes include coconut, mango, banana, papaya, starfruit and pineapple. They are all very sweet, very tasty and very tropical. You can even get a tropical mustard if you choose the lilikoi option (passionfruit) over yellow or dijon.<br \/>\n <a href=\"http:\/\/bakingbites.com\/2010\/04\/tropical-flavor-and-hot-dogs-at-puka-dog-poipu\/#more-4494\" class=\"more-link\">(more&#8230;)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Puka Dog?
