Hot Dog!

Hot Dog! • this painting is sold

Hmmm..... who doesn't love that first whiff of charcoal in early summer .... hot dogs on the grill! That first savory snappy bite and all of your cares seem to drift away. The simple pleasures enjoyed by young and old alike.

It seems that every town has a cherished hot dog destination. I would say hands down ours is 'Yocco's'. Yocco's, founded in 1922, is known for its long-standing specialty on hot dogs and various toppings. Given Yocco's strong global popularity, the restaurant also has a mail-order business, providing frozen hot dog bags to customers around the U.S. and the world. Check out the world map in each of their four restaurants marking the thousands of locations in the U.S. and abroad that have ordered and enjoyed Yocco's hot dogs.

If you're truly a hot dog lover, you may have had the fortune of seeing the PBS feature: A HOT DOG PROGRAM. A documentary highlighting hot dogs and their establishments and featuring hot dog events from Fourth of July hot dog eating contests at Coney Island to a gourmet reindeer-dog vendor at the start of the Iditarod sled dog race. A HOT DOG PROGRAM visits some of the country's coolest hot dog places. Find out what makes a Chicago-style dog, go inside a giant hot-dog-shaped building, stop at some late night stands and see how hot dogs are made. Whether you like your dog with mustard and sauerkraut, chili and cheese, or with the 'works', this program is sure to please!

Like my friends, Tony and Pat, the 'truest' of hot dog lovers, you may decide to include great hot dog establishment destinations on your vacation itinerary.

But for now, and best of all, light up that charcoal, grill up the dogs, and sit back and enjoy .... make mine a dark one please ...
