And He made today National Hot Dog Day. I forgot who inspired me to mark the calendar (Irving?). But it's today. Going to Sonic later for one of their trashed-out dogs.
Chicago dog at sonic is delicious!
For the 4th of July, I threw an EPIC hot dog cookout at my house. I had the buffet set up with all the hot dogs and buns, and then all the toppings to go crazy, a la Steve's Snappin Dogs. We had Chicago dogs, Slaw dogs, Chili Dogs, Green Chili Dogs, BBQ Bacon Dogs, NY Dogs with Red Sauce, Nacho Dogs, Beany-Weenies, etc. What ever you could imagine, we had it. It was a lot of fun, and so easy to just keep hitting the buffet all day long.
Those new pretzel dogs are pretty great too.
The Chicago dog is often called "a salad on a bun" or a "hot dog with a salad on top".Quote:
