nothing speaks to me like quite like the american hot dog. meat of indeterminate origin nestled in a soft bun so pumped full of chemicals it won’t start to mould until you notice it still packaged in the back of your cupboard two months later.
when i was a child i was in awe of the hot dog vendor peddling his wares from street corners. in new zealand we have something called a sausage sizzle, which is NOT the same. these often take place outside of a hardware store, cost a gold coin, and are typically a fundraiser. did i care about charity as a child? no! i cared about the fact that this was a different kind of sausage wrapped in a slice of white bread and drizzled with tomato sauce. i thought this was an absolute disgrace, and a mockery to the profession of hot dog making. i wanted a frankfurter in a bun, slathered with ketchup and mustard, paid for with a crumpled up $1 bill.
long live the american hot dog. though i’m a vegetarian now so it’s not quite the same.

artifice! processed meat product and stolen buns (liberated from a philadelphian shake shack no less) and yet many things in this world are not even half as beautiful
i cook mine in the style of walter's hot dogs, a restaurant that i have never visited and have been second-hand endeared to by my father.

🌭In summer, it seems like the default is to fire up the grill for some burgers, but I’m full in on hot dogs. give me 2 dogs and an ice cold bud in a koozie. I also have a local hot dog truck, Grumpy’s Dogs, that has all the food truck style dogs, whether its a mustard sauerkraut or a pulled pork one, and I love to treat myself to the chili cheese dog.

😃Some folks had Ceaser. Some folks had Chinese chicken. Some had Greek. And some had a plain old salad. But has any ever had hot dog salad.
“What hell is that?!” You may ask.
I‘d be happy to explain.
Hot Dog Salad is a basically a bowl of chopped hot dogs tossed in a lettuce bowl.
I’ve never seen folks eat it or sold at any restaurant joint. It seems gross, of course it. But it’s my thing and I like it.
And it’s tasty, surprisingly. I enjoy the soft texture and crunch of it. It is something rarely ever seen here in Los Angeles, California. I wonder why haven’t these yahoos got in on it. I guarantee that it would sell like hot cakes.
Hot Dog Salad, folks, don’t pass up on it. 👍

🫀long live the proximity crush!
is this person only cute because i see them at work everyday? yes, but so what! the barista who remembers my order at my favourite coffee shop? attractive but only behind the counter in their cute little apron. what about it!
sometimes it's nice to daydream and speculate about a person you know nothing about, especially when they're actually a little odd looking and not at all your usual type. just make sure you never see them anywhere else. live in that fantasy.
