(WJBK) - The Lions will face the Vikings for the biggest rivalry game of the season this Sunday.

And, in the spirit of the rivalry, Chef Billy Parisi created two rivalry hot dogs inspired by each team. He joined us in the FOX 2 Cooking School to give us a look.

The Detroit hot dog pays homage to pasties, and the Minnesotta dog is topped with some good ole tator tots. You can get the recipes to make the dogs at home below.

Then, on Sunday, you can watch the Lions take on the Vikings right here on FOX 2.
