National Hot Dog Day is Here!
Some have one (or two) and some have may have 72 in 10 minutes, but a summertime classic is being celebrated today!
July 19th of each year is National Hot Dog Day! During every summer, you can not hide from the fact that the six-inch (or sometimes foot-long) cased piece of meat is being served at a ball park, fair, amusement park or even at home.
To be honest, it is one of my favorite things to eat if I'm in a pinch. Grilled, steamed or boiled - each way it is cooked can offer a different flavor. Depending on the seasonings used can add another element to its taste.
I'll even go to my favorite toppings - from the former Bill's Hot Dog Factory, the Mac A Weenie. Or at the Hi Lite Drive in Marshall, the Pizza Dog!
This is where you come in! What do you like on your hot dogs? While many keep it pretty basic with ketchup and mustard, there's a whole slew of items you can put on it.
In honor of this special holiday, I'd like to add a simple question...
BONUS VIDEO - Like father, like son! See my son Austin and I take on Nathan's Hot Dogs during the 4th of July!
