STSA #85 - How do you make a hot dog stand?

Something to Smile About
You take away his chair! Ha! Seriously, folks, is there any better way to celebrate summer than with a big, juicy hot dog?  And is there any better time to eat one than National Hot Dog Month? Just make sure you’re doing it right.

Hot Dog Etiquette (according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council)
Don’t put hot dog toppings between the hot dog and the bun. Always “dress the dog,” not the bun.
Do serve sesame seed, poppy seed and plain buns with hot dogs. Sun-dried tomato buns or basil buns are considered gauche with franks.
Don’t use a cloth napkin to wipe your mouth when eating a hot dog. Paper is always preferable.
Do eat hot dogs on buns with your hands. Utensils should not touch hot dogs on buns.
Don’t take more than five bites to finish a hot dog. For foot-long wiener, seven bites are acceptable.
Do use paper plates to serve hot dogs. Every day dishes are acceptable; china is a no-no.
Don’t Leave bits of bun on your plate. Eat it all.
Do - Condiments remaining on the fingers after eating a hot dog should be licked away, not washed.
Don’t Use ketchup on your hot dog after the age of 18. Mustard, relish, onions, cheese and chili are acceptable.
Do use multi-colored toothpicks to serve cocktail wieners. Cocktail forks are in poor taste.
Don’t Send a thank you note following a hot dog barbecue. It would not be in keeping with the unpretentious nature of hot dogs.
Don’t Bring wine to a hot dog barbecue. Beer, soda, lemonade and iced tea are preferable.
Don’t Ever think there is a wrong time to serve hot dogs.
Sweet Joey Chestnut! Did you ever think there’d be so many rules to eating a frankfurter?

Happy Second Half of Summer! I know the calendar may say otherwise, but we split it up by the Fourth of July holiday. It’s been crazy hot around here, and we’ve been spending a lot of time indoors … reading … and noticing that copy editing is quickly becoming a lost art.
