The Perfect Hot Dog
Blog Prompt: Today is National Hot Dog Day. How do you like to eat your hot dog? What do you put on it? Make us all hungry as you describe the perfect hot dog.
I love hot dogs cooked out on the grill. Oscar Meyer all beef bun size dogs are the best!! Yea, they are a bit more than the other brands, but they are worth it.
First, open the wheat bun (as I have aged I have switched to wheat bread), spread a bit of Dijon mustard, little bit of shredded cheddar cheese, diced onions, a little dill relish, chopped tomatoes and top all that off with the most perfect grilled hot dog. You ask why I put the dog on top of all that? Well, after many years of hot dog eating experience, I have found out that if I put the dog on top of all the condiments, they stay in the bun and not all over me or on my plate.
My husband loves slaw dogs. They serve these at the famous Varsity in Atlanta. It’s just a dog with cole slaw on top. Pretty good dog. You can also get this dog with chili too. That didn’t really look that good, so I passed on it. The Varsity is a great place to go to see the old fashioned curb hops and if you are craving grease, then this is the place for you and don’t forget to order their Orange drink. That is worth driving there for and to hear the servers yell out as you order, “What ya have?” Great place with tons of history in Atlanta.
Enjoy your favorite hot dog today,
I’ll definitely have to try the place out next time we are in or around Atlanta.
Oh, your hot dog sounds messy! I don’t think I would like that. But we like the Varsity in Atlanta too.
