Thaaaaaat’s right folks, Burger King is gonna start serving hot dogs in addition to their famous Whopper burgers.
Note that they tested hot dogs last year in some locations:
Should we start thinking up names now that will go along with their burgers? 
So now I get to put the Burger King’s wiener in my mouth? Can’t wait…
Years ago. I’m thinking late 70’s early 80’s…there actually was a fast food chain. Based on hot dogs. Not surprisingly called Weiner King.
A Wendy’s weiner in my mouth just sounds way to XYZ Jennerish to me.
And I don’t know if the fact that the creepy Burger King guy has a weiner that is “small and not quite substantial enough” to be comforting or actually adding to the creepiness.
I don’t know if I’m alone on this, but I’ve always had love-hate feelings towards hot dogs. In situations like these:
[ul]
[li]Street vendors[/li][li]Sporting events[/li][li]Camping[/li][li]A family barbeque[/li][li]Any outdoor event etc.[/li][/ul]I find hot dogs very enjoyable.
However in any of the following:
[ul]
[li]Made at home on the stove[/li][li]Bought from a fast-food place[/li][li]Bought from a restaurant[/li][li]Bought (cooked) indoors anywhere etc.[/li][/ul]I find them incredibly gross. I can’t really think of another food like this.
For me hot dogs also hold a special place in my gullet.
When I WANT one, they are darn good. When I don’t, the very thought makes me ill.
About the only other thing that does that is liver. But you don’t see liver out and about much in our modern culinary scene no matter what the venue.
Hot dogs are pretty much always enjoyable, though Burger King may give me pause (it’s my least favorite of the three major fast food burger chains). Still, I’d give them a shot for the hell of it.
The obvious one would be ‘Whopper Weenie’, but I can’t think of any more.
So it would be a ‘Whopper Weenie Jr.’?
I can just see a string of “adult” ads involving the King selling wieners…gawd I love a cheesy ad series…hoping for the best…this may be the best thing since the “even a caveman can do it” era…
Yes, with extra “sauce” of course…please tell me there is “white” mustard…
It was like an explosion of “happiness” in my mouth!
And Der Weinerschnitzel. And Pup ‘n’ Taco.
Around my hometown there was Dog n’ Suds.
In the late 1960s / early 1970s, Burger King (or, at least, the BK near our house, in west suburban Chicago) had hot dogs. As a little kid, I didn’t yet like hamburgers, but I loved hot dogs. We’d go to BK every so often, and I’d have a hot dog. Then, on one visit, we discovered that they had discontinued the hot dogs. My parents tried, and failed, to convince me to eat a hamburger (I was 5, at the oldest), and it was several years before we went back there (by then, I’d had a change of heart about hamburgers).
Micky Rooney invested in a chain that featured hot dogs somehow rendered into a circle, served on a hamburger bun. Weenie Whirl!
Okay, I finally took the plunge, and went to my local Burger King to sample these new hot dogs. They are not exactly up to Chicago standards, but they are still pretty good. The dogs themselves were grilled, which is nice, and the buns were of decent construction. I had a “classic” and a “chili cheese” style, passed on the “Whopper” style dog.
They were a bit on the small side, and eating two of them was no great stretch. One dog and a side of fries might not have been enough food for a decent lunch.
Anyone else give them a whirl?
Burger King?
Burger Wang!
Try Nathan’s Famous. Your troubles will be over. 
I used to love Wienerschnitzel’s Polish sandwich…serious addiction. Unfortunately, the only one for 50 miles was recently bought out by some upscale BBQ joint…I mean $8 for a 3-inch diameter bbq sandwich? Really? I could gobble down a half dozen of them easily, but I’m not so much into paying $50 for lunch.
Those actually look pretty good. Although there no way they’re ever coming to Canada.
