Dear Hot Doug,
I never thought I would find another Yesterdog and I guess I still have not.
But claiming that they are still my sole hot dog love? Well, now my heart is caught.
I am not the first nor the last to sing praises. I know you have many a suitor.
Still, I have decided to come forth and proclaim my love! (hiding slightly, behind my computer)
It is not just the taste of your offerings that have me dizzy with delight.
I love the consistency, the options, the dry humor, the steady pace…. your operation is tight.
I know what to expect when I get there and it is worthy of the long line.
Fresh sausages, homemade toppings and the most PERFECT corn dog every time.
Our special dates are Fridays and Saturdays when you make those duck fat fries.
If I said I didn’t care for them or could live without, I would be telling you bold-faced lies.
Your sausage emporium really does it for me. I am addicted to your perfect treats.
There are no two finer words in the English language than the words ‘encased meats.’

There is a great hotdog place in Denver called Biker Jims. Have you tried it?

How cute are you! This is yet another recommendation I’ve heard for Hot Doug’s, making me even more embarrassed that I’ve put off trying it. Thanks for the nudge!

I also love Hot Dougs and I LOOOOOOOVE this blog post. I read your post outloud to many a friend and still giggled at many of the rhymes

Your post is almost enough to make me want to come to Chicago to try a Hot Doug. But, better than Yesterdog?–that remains to be seen.

oh Hot Doug’s! You know it has a special place in my heart as well. In fact, I do believe I recognize that pic! oh magical deliciousness. Corn dog amuse bouche anyone?

The picture alone is making my mouth water. Ahhhh, corn dogs. Even with my new healthy-eating kick, there are just some things I can’t resist. I wonder if they’re organic…
Hoping to plan a trip out to Chicago! Am definitely putting Hot Doug’s on the list.
