Flame Free Confession III: Even More Flame Free (Part 1)

costco and my family friends are dangerous for body comp :rofl:

I never really liked watermelon but always felt like I got sick (as you do when eating too much sugar) before I got full.

My son’s have never had a hotdog (via me anyway) and it must be well over 10 years since I’ve had one.

I have purchased hotdogs and I am expecting it to be amazing.

Tips graciously accepted. Particularly buns, I am yet to choose buns.

It depends on what type of hot dogs you bought.

Turkey/chicken/pork mix hot dogs are gross. All beef hot dogs taste much better. The bun honestly isn’t that consequential as long as you don’t buy some gluten free weird shit, just give it a light toast on the grill. I prefer a small bit of ketchup and yellow mustard on it.

Cook it on the grill, and cook it til it’s well done - I like my steak rare as shit so this isn’t someone needing their meat cooked, it just tastes better, IMO. Not black, but nice and dark and a bit crispy.

I agree on the hotdog, but I like the bakery buns, sausage rolls, or what ever else looks good at the bakery- But only if toppings are involved. I need some room for the chili and cheese and banana peppers and stuff that the regular buns just don’t have.

Pretzel buns look awesome but they’re not. Everything falls off/out of them because the crust is too tough.

I’ve been enjoying brats wrapped in a melted Swiss cheese Naan bread.

This! I just can’t stand to eat them anymore. Just no! And agree and the well done part too.

Mrs and I have been doing kielbasas wrapped in Pilsbury crescent rolls as a ā€œgrown up pigs in a blanketā€. They’re REALLY good.

Now we’re talking! I love these.

I confess that every time I see Yanks describe sausage rolls as ā€œpigs in a blanketā€ when all sensible people know that pigs in blankets are the delicious bacon-wrapped chipolatas you get at Christmas, I die a little inside.

In retrospect, it’s kind of sick that the blanket for this metaphorical pig is the flesh of its brethren.

My step dad used to make these fairly often before he had a heart attack

Are you implying something :joy::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It’s an endorsement! If it gives you a heart attack its gotta taste pretty good

like a double bacon cheese burger with grilled cheese sandwiches as buns and extra bacon on the side?
There’s a restaurant that makes those and you literally have to sign a waiver :rofl:

Where can I order one of these?

Not sure. I saw it on Diners Drive ins and Dives

Upgrade to some real German bratwurst. Sour kraut is a must with stone ground mustard - nothing else necessary on top.

For hotdogs, crisp the outside on the grill so it’s a bit blistered, top with mustard and relish in a wheat hot dog bun…perfection.

@twojarslave knows where joint that makes something similar I believe.

That would be the dive bar I worked at. There’s a lot of things you should probably sign a waiver for before stepping into that place, but you don’t need one to get a cheeseburger with bacon grilled cheese for buns.

Diced honey maple ham/sautƩed chanterelle omelet.
