Montreal hot dog

The Montreal hot dog (French: steamé, or douille), also known as a steamie, is one of several variations of hot dogs served as a fast food staple at restaurants and diners in Montreal and other parts of Quebec. In Montreal (and elsewhere in the province of Quebec), the hot dog buns used to prepare steamies are side loading, while a top loading (New England style) hot dog bun is used for toasted hot dogs. Montreal hot dogs are considered to be rather small and are generally sold for between $2.00 and $3.00 depending on the area of purchase and dressing. Popular hot dog brands include Lesters, Lafleur's, and Glatt's kosher. The city of Montreal did not permit street food carts from 1947 until 2011, leading to a proliferation of small "greasy spoon" restaurants which are variations on the classic Québécois casse-croute (snack bar) restaurants.
