Sonoran hot dog
Bacon-wrapped frankfurter with beans, salsa and crema in a soft bolillo
The Sonoran hot dog came north from Hermosillo in Mexico and is now the late-night street food of Tucson, Arizona, sold from carts and small stands called dogueros. A frankfurter is wrapped in bacon (pork) and griddled until crisp, then tucked into a soft, split-top bolillo roll with pinto beans, onion, tomato, mayonnaise, mustard and jalapeño salsa. Chef's tip: wind the bacon tightly in a spiral and start it seam-side down, so it sticks and doesn't unravel.

Method
0/4 doneStep 1: Wrap each of the 4 beef or pork frankfurters tightly in a rasher of 4 thin rashers of streaky bacon in a spiral, tucking in the ends.
4 minStep 2: Cook on a griddle or frying pan over a medium heat, seam-side down first, turning often, for 10–12 minutes until the bacon is crisp all over and the frank is piping hot (160°F). Fry the ½ onion and 4 güero or banana chillies alongside until soft and charred.
12 minStep 3: Warm the 4 soft bolillo or hot dog rolls and split them along the top, not the side, to make a pocket.
2 minStep 4: Spoon in the 7 oz cooked pinto beans, add the hot dog, then top with grilled onion, ½ white onion, 1 tomato, zigzags of 3 tbsp mayonnaise and 2 tbsp yellow mustard, and the 4 tbsp jalapeño salsa. A common mistake is a firm crusty roll; it should be soft and pillowy.

Sandwich grecKebab baguette
In Paris, a "grec" is the late-night kebab sandwich named after the Greek-run shops that first sold it in the Latin Quarter. On rue de la Huchette and rue Saint-André-des-Arts near Saint-Michel, students queue after a night out for crusty bread or pitta stuffed with meat shaved from a turning spit, lettuce, tomato and onion, a garlicky white sauce, and, the Paris touch, a handful of fries pushed right inside. This home version marinates chicken thighs in spiced yoghurt, sears them hard and slices them thin, with oven fries. It contains milk, egg (in the mayonnaise) and wheat. Chef's tip: slice the meat thinly across the grain after resting; thick chunks don't feel like a grec.

ZapiekankaOpen baguette with mushrooms and cheese
Zapiekanka is Polish street food born in the 1970s and perfected at the hatch windows around Plac Nowy in Kraków's Kazimierz district, where students and night owls queue for one at midnight. Half a long baguette is topped with mushrooms fried with onion, covered in grated cheese and baked until crisp at the edges and bubbling, then finished with a zigzag of ketchup and chives. The classic version has no meat at all. Use a hard cheese made with vegetarian rennet (many supermarket mild Cheddars and Goudas are). Chef's tip: fry the mushrooms until completely dry before they go on the bread; wet mushrooms make the baguette soggy instead of crisp.
