Several years ago Hubby and I, through our own chili cook-off, devised a great chili recipe – almost award winning. This summer we have yet another lofty goal…..the perfect hot dog!
This page, torn out of some magazine long ago has some great ideas. Our quest began at a local brewery on a warm windy day….
It began innocently enough – I ordered the chili dog, he didn’t. A major case of food envy ensued….
Poor hubby, we had to visit the grocery store on the way home so that he could have a chili dog of his very own…..
Having a little fun, I had to tweak mine a bit – just to make him whine….
A fork, knife, and lots of napkins were the only way to go. So yummy and filling – I finished half…..
Chili dogs are my favs – but the one in the photo with peaches is definitely on our summer time menu….
Thanks for visiting on Foodie Friday, I hope to see you again soon!

Valerie-I had to laugh–isn’t food envy the worst? :) Sometimes there is nothing better than a good ole hotdog–except maybe… we used to eat grilled chili cheeseburgers, onion rings, and wash it down with vanilla milkshake at a greasy drive in college–then I wondered why my stomach hurt :) Love the ideas!

Too funny…I am very sure that my husband would have shared that dog, and I would have had to order another…if it was us at the brewery. Great post.
