Anything Better Then A Hot Dog?

Is there anything better then on a summer day eating a steamed or grilled Hot Dog?

I like them with everything on them or with just mustard.

And I'm pretty sure even the health gurus' on TV eat them every once in a while.

A Hot Dog that is cooked right and dressed perfectly can put you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

Plump and juicy sitting on a plain bun, a fancy seeded bun or just between two slices of bread can transport you back to your childhood faster then a tall glass of lemonade.

Mustard, ketchup, onions, relish, sour kraut, pickles, and on and on.

Try a little celery salt or garlic salt in boiling water when cooking your Hot Dogs.

Wrap them in a really sharp cheese before they hit the bun.

I love dicing up fresh from the garden tomatoes and cilantro, mixing in some olive oil and smothering the Hot Dogs in it all.

And don't get me started about fresh pepper or green tomato salsa on my Hot Dogs.

Can you ever sing the praises of Hot Dogs enough?

Of course you can't, Hot Dogs are the embodiment of summer in America.

Oh and it doesn't matter if your state is blue or red, Hot Dogs are for everyone.

Call it a Hot Dog, Frankfurter, Coney, Tube Steak or Wiener. They all cook up with flavor and deliver enjoyment in every bite.
