Which Virginia hot dog is served with Lynnhaven mustard, onions, and meat sauce?

The Norfolk hot dog is served with Lynnhaven mustard, onions, and meat sauce.

This regional specialty is associated with Norfolk, Virginia, where it became a recognizable local style rather than merely a generic chili dog. Its defining combination is the tangy mustard, chopped onions, and a savory meat sauce spooned over the sausage.

The name can cause confusion because Virginia has other hot-dog traditions, including bright-red “red hots,” while nearby cities may use different toppings or names. The Norfolk style is specifically identified by its Lynnhaven mustard and meat sauce, making “Norfolk hot dog” the canonical answer.
