Chili Dogs (General)

I LOVE my job but there is one job that could lure me away in a heartbeat. Chili Dog taster. While I love a good garage sale, my car will NOT drive past a good hot dog cart. As evidenced by my figure, I have experience in the world of street cuisine. From Billy Boys, to the Weiner Wagon I have sampled the menu. I wear my sunglasses, and sunscreen, while I patiently wait for an umbrella table to open up while visiting the wiener-mobile at the Colonial and Summerlin gas station, but everyone knows you can’t hurry art. Yesterday, while I was shopping the farmers market in Sanford, (see Garage Sale blog) I happened upon “The Jolly Dogger”, a pirate themed hot dog cart. Rebecca wore the pirate bandanna,and even had a pirate banner bearing the saying, Let the people eat!” I was immediately drawn to the cart and the friendly pirate bearing treasure but I was facing a huge dilemma. My hands were full and it was only 9:30 in the morning. Is it even legal to eat chili dogs before 10? I know it is OK for pizza, but chili dogs? I paused, put my coffee down, took the last bite of my doughnut, shifted my grip on the extra large bag of kettle corn and pondered my next move…What was I to do…I snapped a picture with my cell phone, inhaled deeply,(through my nose) and promised to return next week, but you can rest assured that it will be closer to noon ......................... PS…the best chili dogs do not contain beans, mustard an onion are the best additions although occasional jalapenos are a wonderful addition.
