Hots is a term for hot dogs. It originated in Rochester but is used often throughout Central New York and Upstate New York. Hots come in different flavors: white hots, red hots and grey hots. Hots are great to adorn garbage plates. Rarely would you eat a hot with only a bun unless stumbling home from a bar and happen across a mobile hots stand. See Hot Dog Variations for a round-up of variations on the hot dog, including the white hot.
