And THIS is how we ended up with the chicken-s#!* wiener in the White House…selling stupid people something disgusting by giving it a fancy name and a thick layer of hogwash.
This is just a variation of the now closed Hot Doug’s in Chicago. People would wait for hours in line to get in to this hole in the wall hot dog joint. Apparently frying your fries duck fat draws in the foodies. There’s a PBS documentary on the place, that’s how weird it was, considering there are over 3000 hot dog joints in Chicago, all serving the same couple of brands of beef hot dogs.
Reminds me of much of social media. So many people seeking recognition and satisfied to receive it from people they will never meet or come to know. Yet they call them friends. And they will allow these same people to destroy their sense of self-worth via vicious put-downs delivered for the fun of it. Pity.
Best hotdogs I ever had were neither barbecued nor boiled. Raw dogs were place on heated rollers where they turned slowly while they cooked all the way through. Niagara College, Welland, Ontario, Canada in the 1980s.
Give me a Nathans hot dog (to two) grilled on the flat top and served on a toasted hotdog bun. A dollop of mustard is all that’s required as a garnish.

Best “cart” dog I ever had was in Kansas City in front of the Federal Bldg. The vender smoked his own brats and his wife baked the rolls from scratch. They got so popular that the line went across the front of the building some days. Made for a pretty nice lunch when I was stationed there.

It’s called snob-appeal: a time honored advertising technique. It never worked with me. If I’m not good enough for their product, I don’t need it.
