Not sure if this is a crime or just a sad attempt at a potentially interesting fusion concept.
I found no explanation along with the picture, but my most charitable guess would be a Reuben-inspired hot dog wrap. Which might actually be pretty good with some higher quality ingredients, but this dollar store wiener just screams depression meal to me.
I particularly like the corners. That’s what I want from high concept food, edges.
That’s a good joke but also the hallmark sign of the cheapest, most inhumanely raised, highly processed, way too tightly packed and slammed into a box by a meth smoking transportation worker kind of hot dog money can buy.
German?
While the combo of wiener and kraut is about as German as it gets, this picture is likely from the American Midwest. Actual Germans wouldn’t be caught dead with cocktail sauce on their wieners, nor do they use tortillas as a common ingredient.
Wieners and kraut get mustard and potatoes, anything else is against the law. I’m fully convinced no true German would disagree that a food crime has in fact been committed here.
This guy has something good going on here, if they grilled the dog, added some swiss, and then grilled/toasted/panini-ed the whole thing it would be killer.
Yep, that’s what I was trying to say, I’m actually fascinated by the idea, it’s mostly the half-assed execution that bothers me.
Execution is bad, but I bet all my money this would be good done properly.
I’m thinking smoked sausage (kielbasa perhaps), add some Swiss cheese and a good Russian dressing instead of this sad Thousand Island from a bottle, maybe some grilled onions… yeah, I could see that fly.
Nice wiener.
