Long Wieners And Beer
I love hotdogs.
My new favorite is a Nathan's normal length wiener cooked on the George Forman with a toasted bun wrapped around it, no need for onions, cheese chili or mustard. Just a wiener and a toasted bun.... Nathan's are that good.
Or you can go for the extra long version and chop each one into three equal pieces and wrap the cheapest canned croissant dough around it and toss it in the oven for about 12 minutes.... Nathan in a blanket dipped in honey mustard.... now you're talking.
Not too long ago local Circle K stores had two hotdogs for $1. You can't beat that... well you can sometimes... a local store has dogs for a quarter once or twice a year. In the 70's and 80's we had a variety store called Gibson's that had a big tent sale once a year and in the corner of the tent you could get dogs for 10ยข, that's right 10 pennies for a hotdog... no chili, onions or mustard... just a wiener and a bun..... but ten for a dollar.... what a deal. That was lunch and supper for the duration of the sale. Five days twenty dogs a day........100 hotdogs.... those were the days.
We have a big... really big hotdog factory here in town. Bar S..... sorry I don't eat their dogs or their hams or anything else they produce.
I had no idea that in honor of the 1996 Summer Olympics Sara Lee produced a hotdog that was 1996 feet long. Now THAT is a hotdog. You won't find it in the Guinness Book Of Records. It seems that there are those that demand that not only the wiener be continuous but also the bun.
Now... if you've got a wiener that is 1996 feet long I don't really care what the bun looks like....you have a record in there someplace. Dang hotdog snobs just had to be wieners about it.....
You would think that a record book written by a beer guy would recognise 1996 foot wiener..... I bet he would if it were soaked in vinegar and coiled into a big jar....sitting on the back bar next to the pickled eggs.
I have always liked hotdogs. I love kraut dogs. I think we should make hotdogs the official food for Thanksgiving and Christmas and give the turkeys a break. I already eat hotdogs on Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day.... heck we could just coverall the holidays and eat hotdogs on Valentines Day also....
Scratch the Valentines Day idea.... In my head I just saw a commercial of a man and a woman holding hands, walking down a tree lined, dirt lane, green fields in the background and above their heads, between them appeared two wet, sizzling wieners that touched on the top and bottom and bowed out in the middle to form a heart.... and the voice over by Sam Elliot says.... "Nothing says I love you like a smoking hot wiener."
