hotdog party!!!!


hahaha that just sounds terrible.  Well listen, it's summer and it seems there's a cookout every weekend.  If you want to change things up a little, set up an advanced hotdog toppings bar.  Grill your Hebrew National,  Soy Dogs, or whatever kind of bratwurst just as you normally would then direct people to a self serve station that would have ketchup, mustard, relish and onion for the old school purists (never imagined anything "pure" about consuming a hotdog) then these are some ideas some friends and I came up with that can also be offered: banana peppers, bbq sauce, buffalo wing sauce, jalapenos, cheese whiz and chili, American cheese, sliced celery, chopped olives, Thousand Island, kimchee, bacon, cream cheese, peperoni slices, pickled green beans or asparagus, sriracha, sour cream, diced tomatoes ... really, the possibilities are endless.  I just draw the line on m&m's and stuff like that.

ps... your hotdog topping bar should be conveniently located next to the make-your-own bloody mary bar...  I'm just sayin.

About Me

My photo
Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
