Come On, Guys! Convince Me To Try the Southern Smothered Hot Dog!!!

[ftwildernessguy]

OMG, I am soooooooooooo excited about my upcoming trip! I have heard they have this new hot dog at FW called the Southern Smothered Hot Dog and it's to DIE FOR!!!!! So I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure and am on a low fat and salt restricted diet, but I need your opinions 'cause I can't make up my own mind - IS IT WORTH THE RISK? I mean, I may end up with a stroke or a coronary, but if my last thought is, like, WOW, that was the best hot dog I ever ate, then it would all be worth it, wouldn't it? Come on - let's hear those opinions!

I dint understand why people come here and say "Convince me".

WHY ???

If you need convincing , why bother ????

 

[Born 2 Fish]

Convince you !! Really ??? okay,,but only because I realize how hard it is to think for your self, I mean I find making my own decisions so difficult at times that I just wanna kill myself,,but then that raises another problem, how would I do that ?!?!? I mean really , I have to admire that you have the courage to come out and ask questions like that,,I spose some of us cant read, so we just type out a question and ask away ! I could never do that myself, well, maybe if someone would convince me.

what was your question again ?

I run a health club in Inverness Fl., and I say GO FOR IT! After all, they are on a whole wheat bun! Skip the potato chips though, they are not healthy!

 

[ftwildernessguy]

I'm loving the input! Keep it coming, guys! I just can't decide! I'm still reading!

Jim, all I can say is "Ted's"!! Yes Jim, Ted's!!

There is NO hot dog on the face of the earth that can compete with Ted's. Those who taut the wonders of the Southern Smothered Hot Dog, have never had Ted's. The reason they smother the hot dog is because the hot dog itself is NOT a Sahlen's. If it's not a Sahlen's, it's just not a hot dog. Oh, you can say that Vienna Beef, or Nathan's, or Ball Park or <gasp> Oscar Meyer, or even the "Blessed by the Rabbi" Hebrew National, are great hot dogs, BUT, Western New Yorker's understand the sacredness of the Sahlen Hot Dog. Also, the Wardinski and Shelly hot dogs (may they rest in peace <sniff>) were amongst the top 5 greatest hot dogs known to mankind. The Southern Smothered Hot Dog is a passing fancy and will not be remembered by 2011. Ted's will live forever! Save your stroke or heart attack for O'Hana's.

You live within striking distance of Franks, Toby's Cup and even Hot Dog Johnny's.... I say go to one of those places.

Jim- It's not often that a title of a thread makes my laugh. But, this one did!

Good job.

Thanks!

On my next trip I have decided to sneak off & try one myself.

I can see it now, my wife says at lunch while at MK, " Honey are you not eating anything for lunch here", to which I will reply, "No, I am just not hungry now". Then when we go back for normal afternoon rest, I will jump on my cart, head to the pool & get one.

In my defense, when I first saw it on the menu my wife said that sounded disgusting, so I don't want to upset her, do I?

For you, Deb....

Don't be a puppy. A REAL man would eat lunch with his family at the MK and THEN sneak off in the afternoon for a Southern Smothered Hot Dog.

And then he would hit a buffet for dinner.

Jim-

If I get a Southern Smothered Hot Dog, should I put nail polish on it?

And if so, does it have to be clear nail polish?

Thanks.

Since I don't like hot dogs, be assurred I won't be ordering a hot dog and not eating, depriving those that really want a hot dog from having one!!

As long as you don't order one and then not eat it!

 

[des1954]

For you, Deb....

OH, GOD ALMIGHTY!!! My mouth is watering!! How cruel to post this for me....who is 1300 miles away from the nearest Ted's!! My brother is just mean enough to hop on his bike, ride to the nearest Ted's, and brag all over the Disboards & Facebook just how much he enjoyed his Ted's Hot Dog! I have tears streaming down my face!

 

[mrtroutjedi]

For you, Deb....

Why oh why would you put Ketchup on a hot dog?????? Mustard only. relish ,onion,sport peppers, Tomato,Chill, sauerkraut are all OK to but never ketchup.

I'd order one, just for the perks...... like napkins and condiments.

I heard you could even get a spork to spread the condiments. FREE !!

 

[Lil' Lisa]

For you, Deb....

I hate to be the one to tell you this Dave, but there is something wrong with your wiener... The condiments aren't evenly distributed and the bottom one is just far to large for the bun...
