Because Hot Dog News Is Important: The Royal Dog

PINK'S WELCOMES THE ROYAL COUPLE TO L.A. by offering The Royal Dog on the menu and now has a banner across the front of Pink's saying "PINK'S WELCOMES WILL & KATE TO LOS ANGELES!!!

I didn’t know the Royal Couple was honeymooning in Hollywood, but I do know a good hot dog when I see one. Maybe Will and Kate (whoever they are) can take one back to the other side of the pond to give the food of their country a much needed, uh, hot beef injection of flavor.

This is a press release:

Pink’s Hot Dogs Welcomes Will & Kate to L.A. with a Banner and a New Hot Dog

LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Pink’s Hot Dogs welcomes the Royal Couple, Will & Kate, to Los Angeles with a banner displayed across the front of the stand which reads: “PINK’S WELCOMES WILL & KATE TO L.A.!!!”

A new hot dog was created in honor of the royal visit – THE ROYAL DOG, 2 Hot Dogs in 1 bun with “royal toppings” which include: mustard, cheese, onions, pickle relish, a “spot” of Pink’s famous chili and 2 slices of bacon, a mere trifle at £3.73 or $6.00. Come one, come all, thou shall dine like Royalty!!

More Is Less For $69 Hot Dog

The $69 Serendipity Foot Long Haute Dog at Serendipity 3.

I have no problem if somebody wants to shell out $69 for a hot dog. (Even in New York, where hot dogs are plentiful.) Serendipity 3, the New York eatery, lets diners do just that. What I do take issue with however, is that the thing is clearly served with ketchup. Now that I just can’t take seriously.

Go Ahead And Enjoy It: Hot Dog Roller For The Grill

Stainless-Steel Hot Dog Roller -- for use on the grill.

Eternally-spinning hot dogs are quite mesmerizing; they seemingly hover upon a set of rollers, slowly spinning, wafting aroma into the air, beckoning us just to grab a bun and some mustard and dig in. But all too often, those rolling hot dogs don’t live up to expectations. Nothing cleanses like fire, and the Stainless-Steel Hot Dog Roller knows this. Designed for use on the grill, the hand-held hot dog accessory provides a convenient way to accept the siren song calling without suffering a convenience-store fate.
