Growing up, my childhood was filled with baseball and hot dogs. We would load up our gear, head to the little league park and make our first stop at the concession stand for a good ol’ American hot dog.
I loved all hot dogs as a child, but now that I have grown up and refined my taste buds, not just any hot dog will do. Enter the Certified Hereford Beef hot dog!
What is so great about the Certified Hereford Beef hot dog, you may ask? This all-beef hot dog has an amazing bite, and the beef used to make the frank must meet 10 science-based specifications to ensure consistency and quality. This hot dog has a rich, beefy flavor and texture that I’ve yet to find in any other dog on the market. Simply put, it’s the best one out there.
There are hundreds of gourmet ways to dress up your beef frank, but for a truly great eating experience, you must start with a great foundation. When you begin building your hot dog with Certified Hereford Beef, you have the best start there is.
Personally, I enjoy my beef frank on a fresh bun and topped with dill relish, mustard, and shredded cheddar cheese. However, the beautiful thing about hot dogs is the many ways to customize your ‘dog’ uniquely to you!
