On a side note: hot dogs

Although I promised to discuss burgers, I have been sidetracked by a hot dog. Specifically, the chili cheese dog at Pink's, which I succumbed to last night under mild peer pressure. While I questioned whether the Pink's hot dog would live up to the hype, knowing that other hot dogs that people rave about (eg, Top Dog) fail to please me, once I had that juicy sausage in a soft bun, topped by a mound of meaty chili (no beans=a plus), onions, mustard and cheese, there was no more questioning. My companion remarked that she could live without the onions, and I agreed. This morning I heated up the other half of the hot dog for breakfast, for a surprisingly good, if indulgent meal (I had some green tea and a banana for balance.) The Pink's chili cheese dog certainly rivals the best I've had--a chili hot dog in a diner of unknown name in Schenectady, New York.
Pink's Chili Cheese Dog: 8/10 (Rating scale for hot dogs: 1=vegi dog and generic bun, unheated 5=your standard, $1, NYC dog from a stand with boiled hot dog, steamed bun, red relish and saurkraut 10=hypothetical best hot dog ever, with grilled bun, grilled sausage, and toppings galore.)

Bean burritos on the quick

1. Heat a flour tortilla over a gas flame until the brown spots become more pronounced.
2. Drain a can of whole beans, place half inside the burrito and fold.
3. Microwave for two minutes
4. Place burrito in foil to allow eating by hand.
5. Enjoy with hot sauce of choice.

Notes: This type of burrito tastes best without cheese, which makes this insides a liquid mess.
