The white hot is a variation on the hot dog found primarily in the Rochester, New York[1] area, as well as other parts of Western New York and Central New York.[2] It is composed of a combination of uncured and unsmoked pork, beef, and veal; the lack of smoking or curing allows the meat to retain a naturally white color.[3] White hots usually contain mustard and other spices, and often include a dairy component such as nonfat dry milk.
