Bowling Dog

Had a scrumptious dog last night after bowling. This dog was served at the 11th Frame Lounge at Sunset Lanes in Farrell, PA.

When they cook the dog on the grill, they split it open and cook it from the inside out. It creates this delicious grill taste throughout the dog.

Cheese topping of course. This Dog will be named the "Hair of the Dog." After having the upset stomach from the earlier chili dogs, this single masterpiece made everything better.

Also, the dog was presented with class.

Hot Dog meat is raised vegan so you don't have to be!

My cousin is a vegan.......

Anyone who has studied anthropology would know that early hominids that had meat in their diet had larger brains than the early hominids that had an exclusively vegetarian diet. There are a lot of theories about this finding, one of which is that meat provides more calories than vegetarian fare which allowed our ancestors to spend more time thinking and less time foraging. The ones that had the larger brains and could fuel those brains with meat survived better and passed those brains on to the next generation. On a side note, it's been hypothesized that early humans weren't necessary hunters, they were scavengers, so saying it is natural for us to eat meat might not be accurate but it may have helped make us smarter. This is why cows and pigs are so dumb cause they are vegans.

.... hence my cousin is stupid.

Today I visited Niko and Lous Coney Island in downtown Sharon, PA

500x the service level from the place yesterday. Chili Dogs. Lots of Chili Dogs. I am leery, to say the least of onions, so jumping into a Chili Dog is scary territory. I took the plunge.



I have a feeling this is going to come out looking exactly the way it went in. It was spicy and I ate 2 of them. I do not feel good about myself for doing so and I thought of vegan-ism while eating it. I concluded that vegans are still stupid.

This hot dog reminded me of this song for some reason:

When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where did it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on

Nauseous on...

Meat: It's what you're made of

The general topic of what gives people the strength to persevere through times of overwhelming adversity is certainly an interesting one to me, and I think that knowing what you are made of, with the help of a hot dog, will help you through anything.

"Wisdom from Adversity with Hot Dogs"

• You can't know what will happen tomorrow-and it's better that way with hot dogs.
  
• You can't control what happens, just how you respond with hot dogs.
• Adversity distorts reality, but crystallizes the truth with hot dogs.
• Loss amplifies the value of what remains with hot dogs.
• It's easier to create new dreams than cling to broken ones with hot dogs.
• Your happiness is more important than righting injustices with hot dogs.

Next time you break open a fortune cookie after eating hot dogs at a Chinese Restaurant, add "...with hot dogs." at the end. You will be much better off in the days to come. "...in bed" is so 80's.


Day 2: Sharon Hot Dog Shop

Thank God they didn't spell it Shoppe or I would not had gone in. I had huge expectation from this joint. It was disappointing to say the least. I had the net worth of 500x what those eating had and I was carrying 5 bucks on me.

I bellied up to the 50's style diner counter and proceeded to order 3 hot dogs and a root beer. A sweet lady asked me if I wanted meat sauce. I am not big on eating condiments called meat something so I asked her what the meat sauce was. She said, "Don't ask me I just work here." No meat sauce thank you.

So 3 cheese only dogs (which looked like sprayed on cheeze whiz) consumed and a tasty root beer. Should the Mole come to PA I will make him eat the meat sauce.

Wheresoever you go, go with all your heart with hot dogs. - Confuscious

The Gateway Meat

Day 1 - The Gateway Meat

One of the most common arguments against hot dogs is to label it a gateway meat. This assertion implies that everyone who has ever experienced a great dog has gone on to bigger and better meats, and that offering hot dogs everywhere you go would be the downfall of society as we know it with meat addicts taking over. This has always seemed like an extremely weak argument; a grasping at buns kind of thinking.

So, at first glance calling hot dogs "the gateway meat" might seem reasonable, especially since the government has kept it in the same classification as horribly addictive meats such as kobe steak and prime rib while steadfastly ignoring any benefit hot dogs have to your health. But it seems more reasonable to claim that those who will abuse hot dogs or choose to eat brats will do so, no matter what the law says or which hot dog they started with. History proves this to be the case. The idea of there being a gateway meat is a trite concept perpetuated by those who are fearful or wish to keep hot dogs unhealthy with scare tactics.

The Place: Hermitage Hot Dog Hut (I will be going here 75% of the time during the month)



The Menu: Quite simple really. Famous Hot Dogs. How famous you may ask? You now know about them so they are famous.












The Dogs: I chose 3 dogs with kraut and cheese. A personal favorite of mine. This combination goes back to when I was in 5th grade at Top Dog in Bellevue NE eating footlongs at Top Dog.













All 3 devoured. Today was a good day.I leave you with some lyrics by a famous all beef hot dog eater himself, Ice Cube.

Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God
I don't know but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dogs, no smog
And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog

Today was a good day

The Hot Dog Month Blog Announces the Franchise Player - The Boz

If I can't eat hot dogs, I can't eat hot dogs. It is as simple as that. It ain't about that at all. It's easy to sum it up if you're just talking about hot dogs. We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about hot dogs. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about hot dogs, not kielbasa, not sausage links, not those spicy wieners soaking in vinegar, but we're talking about hot dogs. Not the sandwich that I go out there and die for and eat every day like it's my last but we're talking about hot dogs man. How silly is that?

Now I know that I'm supposed to lead by example and all that but I'm not shoving that aside like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I honestly do but we're talking about hot dogs. We're talking about hot dogs man. We're talking about hot dogs. We're talking about hot dogs. We're not talking about the 4 hour pot roast. We're talking about hot dogs. When you come to the hut, and you see me eat, you've seen me eat right, you've seen me give everything I've got, but we're talking about hot dogs right now.

Dog On? No way, the dog IS on.

Full Circle

4 states, 30 days, 74 dogs, over 1500 miles. My journey has brought me full circle. Back to my favorite spot, Portillos, for my final two sausages. The Prince picked up the spirit and paid it forward in Des Moines forcing our whiskey guzzling Irish friend to purchase and cook hot dogs for the first time. Subtracting the 2 turkey dogs leaves us with a grand total of 74.

Enough to make the Mole jealous of my sausage. Though most Nebraskans over compensate by spending $800 million on a baseball team, the Mole is reduced to "Bonus" posting over my blog.

Here are my top five dogs of the month:

1) The Weiners Circle-Char Dog, 2622 North Clark, Chicago, Illinois

2) Portillos-Chili Cheese Dog, Golf Road, Schaumburg, Illinois

3) Portillos-Grilled onion and cheddar cheese dog, Golf Road, Rolling Meadows, Illinois

4) Big Sammy's, Biesterfield, Elk Grove Village, Illinois

5) Scooby's, Arlington Heights Road, Arlington Heights, Illinois.

The side deal is done, the Halloween loot, though stale, is now mine.

I do finish my month with regret, that there was not enough time to hit The Brat Stop, Hot Doug's, Photos's, Jimmy's . . . along with weight gain, gout and a malfunctioning colon.

I leave you with one of my favorite sausage moments courtesy of U Tube . . .

The Final Push

Hit two foot long coneys at Sonic at 151st and Blackbob. Apparently, it took forever to make them. Wasn't worth the effort, the chilli was taco meat leftover from USD 231 hot lunch program and the dogs were limp and lost in the buns. The Prince kept up his end. The King 4.0 The Prince 3.0

Received many many turkey dogs for Thanksgiving as the King arrived for the Thanksgiving feast. Found a new condiment for dogs, stuffing from the turkey. Made two Jennie O turkey dogs draped with stuffing sprinkled some cheese and voila! Also hit some Italian Sausage. The King 3.5 The Prince 1.0

The King and Queen went to the royal court for evening entertainment. The particularly awful play of the No. 1 basketball team in the first half had the Queen anxious and sweaty. She beckoned her majesty to fetch her some water and popcorn. When I arrived at the royal Fieldhouse trough I realized that they had been properly warned of my arrival and named their dog the "All Beef Jay Dog". Yes please! I knew the Queen had sought popcorn, however she had never been disappointed in the "All Beef Jay Dog". I took the popcorn as a backup. When I arrived back at the royal perch, I offered the Queen my "All Beef Jay Dog". She politely refused to accept it in front of the 16,299 on lookers. Oh what she passed up. I am quite certain she was regretting it later as the All Beef Jay was a nice surprise. Properly steamed to the point where the bun welded it self to the dog casing and much like everything else in the Fieldhouse extra hot. The King 1.0 The Queen full of regret.
