Memorial Day with "Haute" Hot Dogs

Hot dogs have come a long way from the ball park and are becoming a popular menu choice for large functions.

Yes, the hot dog, the tubular stand-by that my mother would serve us for dinner when she was out of time, grocery money, or patience for cooking is now the life of the party!

A natural for warm weather gatherings, summer cookouts just don’t seem as fun with out them! Serving quality All-Beef  hot dogs can be an economical menu item for your guests to enjoy. Just make sure to offer your guests a variety of delicious toppings so that they can let their inner hot dog artist free!
