Every year Americans consume 150 million hot dogs over the Fourth of July. That's a lot of hot dogs. And I'm proud to play my part in contributing to this number. Some may scoff at a hot dog, considering it too pedestrian to deserve a spot at your BBQ. But I think those people are wrong.... and are vastly underestimating the humble hot dog. As a hotdogconnoisseur, I've spent years perfecting my top four hot dog toppings. Check them out below, try 'em out at your next BBQ, and send anyone my way who dares talk down to a hot dog.
