Ruminations of a Costcoholic


Thought #16: Hotdogs

It’s been some time since I’ve blogged. It’s not for lack of Costco visits I can assure you that. Maybe I didn’t notice anything new or articles about churros seemed redundant. Either way I’m back to talk about hot dogs, more specifically Costco polish sausages.

First things first I’d like to tell you is the proper condiments for a polish dog. Now Costco has onions, relish, ketchup, mustard, and deli mustard and most of these are unnecessary. The perfect dog has one solid line of deli mustard; a solid line of catsup finished with several more droplets of ketchup throughout. Next you must bite off the ends of the dog because a) it’s gross and b) they extend past the bun and all hotdog bites must contain bun, meat product, mustard, and ketchup.

Hotdogs are easily the best deal at the Costco food court. A drink and a meal for $1.50 ($1.63 after tax where I live). They are filling as well but there are two downsides: they can be consumed in under a minute which leaves your jaw wanting more and secondly you can almost guarantee that you’ll get a ketchup/mustard mix in the cracks of your finger and under your fingernails which leaves an odd tasting yellow stain for the rest of the day.

In all though an occasional polish sausage is the perfect compliment to a spring day.
