Of course he's done a lot of research into hot dogs joints in Western Washington. After ratting off a long list, he paused to note that the Cyberdog in Pioneer Square serves a veggie dog...and that he didn't understand that. I told him they're actually pretty good. He continued that a veggie dog makes as much sense as an all-beef watermelon.
I'm not making this up...I swear. He really is that weird. But damn if that isn't one of the funniest mental pictures I've had in a while. I just see bright red hamburger spilling out of a big green watermelon. I've actually toyed with the idea of doing a photo shoot to preseve that image for posterity. Anyone up for burgers with a hint of watermelon?

This morning Libby (my fabulous boss who's currently enjoying a week of leisure and Oprah) read this entry and couldn't resist putting this together. Now that I see it, I think its even more disturbing. It's the future of genetically engineered food.

Man, that guy and his sudden fixations. Good thing his son is nothing like that.
Chicago style hot dogs are an abomination. The bun must be free of seeds, whether they be of the poppy or sesame variety. Celery salt, and tomato wedges are not allowed on hot dogs, and the pickle spear is intended as a side, not a topping. Relish and onions are optional, as is sauerkraut, which I quite enjoy. Mustard is mandatory.
And, on hot dogs, ketchup is prohibited.
This is beautiful. You're my all beef watermelon!

Best dogs around are at costco... And SO cheap, too.

Those were on Dad's list along with the stands in the exit area of Lowe's.
For me hot dogs have always been dressed with just ketchup and mustard. Though I have to admit that celery salt is a tasty addition. But I can totally do without the rest of those crazy Chicago salad fixins.
