Of course, sandwiches like philly cheesesteak, subway sub, and a hoagie on a torpedo roll are all tacos now too, which is nonsense. Fun to think about though.
I need to investigate if my town even has a local hotdog shop.
I’m pretty certain we don’t. Actually we lack a lot of proper food places. Sandwich shops are all terrible, no goddamn Phillies worth the money. No hot dog shop or reliable spot for biscuits n gravy. seems sorta like Minnesota just hates good food
You looked at the original blueprints for hot dogs and said “too much protein, not enough carbs” instead of “I refuse to make two identical sandwiches in parallel”. Both fascinating observations :)
Mmmm… With double the nitrates, double the grease, and double the sodium who wouldn’t want this??? Go ahead and have 2 or 3 of them! If eating doesn’t make you break out in a sweat then you’re not doing it properly!
On account of the square-cube law, you will get more surface area from two smaller sausages than one large one, so the two small win out in that aspect at least.
Okay but then they’re squishy and flop around and send condiments everywhere rather than aiming them like a torpedo directly where they need to go: into your mouth.
Anne’s Dairy Cream in Maryland will sell you a foot long double dog. They make their own bread, place is absolutely amazing.
Oh and just to be clear, The dogs are amazing, The cheesesteak is really good for Maryland, but the place itself is actually a little dive. I think there are seven seats inside all at the counter. I just want to set expectations in case anyone goes out of their way to visit.
And the default of chili, mustard, and onions is pretty un-fuck-with-able. If I wind up going to get my hair cut tomorrow, I could go for a couple double dogs on my way out.
Can confirm, its Latvian. They sell those on gas stations. They also had an amazing thing called wrapurger back in the day. Fantastic thing, like a burger, but wrapped in a tortilla instead of bread. Imagine a burger you can eat in your car while not making a mess. Unbelievable
That doesn’t look like the bun has the same texture as a regular hotdog bun. It looks more like a double dog panini. Plus it doesn’t have the opening for toppings
Hot dogs are fucking gross though. It’s already hard enough to drown them in enough sauerkraut, mustard, onions, etc, to make them choke-downable. Hamburgers are different, it’s actually (usually) reasonably good meat as a base, doubling it makes sense.
So I don’t think you’re wrong, but I also suspect you haven’t had an all-beef hotdog. Like the Costco hotdog. It’s a very different dog, higher quality & uniform meat. Better texture. You should give it a try!
I CAN’T BE STOPPED! I WILL SHOVE TWO HOT DOGS IN MY MOUTH INTO MY CHEEKS LIKE A COLD MEAT EATING GERBIL. CHEEKS PUFFED OUT, CHEWING, STARING AT ANYONE WATCHING AND NEVER BREAKING EYE CONTACT.
