Just like the Sonoran Hot Dog of Arizona, the Polish Boy is much more than just a hot dog with deep-seated roots in the Cleveland food scene. Invented in the 1940s by BBQ restauranteur Virgil Whitmore, this smoked kielbasa sandwich caught on with the many Polish immigrants working in Cleveland factories. Eventually, the "Polish Boy" sandwich spread throughout the city, making it a northeast Ohio staple for anyone who grew up there over the past 70 years. Today, you can find Polish Boy's at various Whitmore locations in Cleveland as well as Seti's Polish Boys food truck which was featured in "The Best Thing I Ever Ate." While this may not be the best thing I ever eat, I am looking forward to grilling up some kielbasa on a hot summer day. Here we go...
Kielbasa links
French fries
Coleslaw
BBQ sauce
Hot dog buns
1. Cook your selected french fries in the oven at 450 for 5 minutes.
2. Light up the grill and heat up the kielbasa, around 8 minutes on each side.
3. Toast the hot dog bun and then construct your sandwich. Kielbasa, bbq sauce, fries, and then coleslaw. You can put more bbq sauce on top if you want, I won't judge you.
