Vote! Make The Bacon Wrapped Hotdog The Official Hot Dog Of LA









Quite often, a KROQ sponsor will call us and request that we write about their sales initiative or ad campaign. Luckily, we have the freedom to say no, so they rarely hit KROQ.com. But when we heard about Farmer John’s campaign to make the bacon wrapped hot dog the official hot dog of Los Angeles, we asked them if we could help promote it. We’re behind this campaign 100%.

Why?

You probably don’t know this but for the past five or six years, a few nutballs from KROQ have gotten together after Weenie Roast and Acoustic Christmas to barbecue bacon wrapped dogs in their hotel room. Yeah, the room smells gnarly the next morning but it doesn’t matter. The deliciously good dogs are worth it every time. And, yes, they use the trusty ‘ol George Foreman grille, although the first year I believe they actually tried a coals. It didn’t work out too well.

So, now you know why we’re on board. But to make this a reality, we need your help.

Place your vote now.

And, here’s the feel-good part… For every vote cast in support of the Bacon Wrapped Hot Dog, Farmer John will donate one pound of food to local food banks including Union Rescue Mission Food Bank in Downtown LA.

With LA being home to Chili Dog icons such as Pink’s and Carney’s, I can’t support this initiative. I’m sorry. The Chili Dog always has, and always will be the official Dog of LA.

Its true. Working a couple of block south of the Staples Center, the Laker Parade isn’t a Laker Parade without the bacon wrapped hotdogs. Bacon makes everything better.

    13 people out of 9 million does not a majority make. There will be backlash, riots, blood in the streets. Beware of dethroning the chili-dog.

Wow, how greedy can we be? Haven’t Mexicans suffered enough at the hand of us Americans? Now we’re campaigning to take away a hot dog that originated in the Mexican state of Sonora. What’s next, naming Corona the official beer of L. A.?

I am not voting for a simple bacon wrapped hotdog. The commercial promoting it said it would effect our children and their children and so on… Why? so our children can become obese? Real smart…

Los Angeles Needs this!!!

Chicago – hot dog topped with chopped onions, diced/wedged tomatoes, a dill pickle spear, pickled hot peppers (“sport peppers”), pickle relish, mustard, and celery salt, and served on a poppy seed bun.

Cincinnati – Usually served as a “cheese coney” with Cincinnati chili, shredded mild cheddar cheese, and sometimes chopped onion and/or mustard.

Upstate New York – There are two distinct types of hot dogs. There are Red Hots and White Hots. Red Hots are “normal” hot dogs while White Hots are plumper.

New York – The street cart-style hot dog is the Sabrett all-beef natural casing frank, boiled and served with onion sauce and deli mustard—or sauerkraut.

North Carolina – Also with chili and cole slaw, with the addition of mustard and onions. Referred to as a hot dog ‘all the way.’

Pacific Northwest – Often enjoyed with some combination of ketchup, mustard, relish, and mayo.

Boston – Often served steamed as opposed to grilled. Ketchup, mustard, relish, picalilli, and chopped onions are common toppings. The “Fenway Frank” is a fixture for Red Sox fans.

West Virginia – Hot dogs are usually served with chili sauce (usually without beans) and cole slaw. When served without a wiener, it is locally called a “chili dog”, much to the confusion of non-residents.

Providence Rhode Island – Home of the excellent New York System Frank, your basic hot dog covered with a watery, all-beef chili, raw chopped onions and curry powder.

New Jersey – Several styles of Hot Dogs are popular here: A “Potato Dog” has diced and stewed potatoes, brown mustard “Texas Weiners” (chili dogs everywhere else) are Hot Dogs served with brown mustard, hot and spicy chili and diced raw onions. An “Italian Dog” has fried onions, peppers and potatoes.

Georgia – Especially, South Georgia, has a “Scrambled” Dog (or dawg). This is a cheap, usually red-skinned hot dog, on a toasted white bun and topped with mustard and spicy chili sauce.

Southern Slaw Dog – Topped with mustard, chili and cole slaw

Vote for a great cause!!!
