There's probably two schools of thought on the hot dog issue. Some folks
like it scorched and crisp cause they like grillin' and others like
their dogs boiled/steamed because that's the way they had hot dogs when
they were growing up. I'll take most sausages grilled but my hot dogs
steamed or heated up on those metal roller thingies. :-)
