This is a story about my love for dogs. Not the furry kind. The mystery meat shoved in a casing kind. I have been a fan all my life, literally. The nine months my Mom was pregnant with me involved daily trips to A&W for her daily intake of hot dogs.
The picture above is a tribute to my favorite hot dog, found at the Flushing A, in downtown Flushing, Michigan. It is the best hot dog. How do I know, I am a self proclaimed connoisseur. Don’t try to tell me how bad they are for you or what odd ingredients are in them. My love for them cannot be swayed.
This hot dog is a trifecta of perfection. First and a must – it’s Koegel's hot dog made in Flint, Michigan. There's not much to boast about in Flint these days but Koegel is surely one of them. A soft warm bun coddles the hot dog. Then, as a choir of angels sing in the background, the "red sauce" is abundantly sloshed down the middle making it oh so yummy. What’s in the red sauce? I don’t know but I assume one of the ingredients is magical fairy dust. Last Thursday I was interviewing in Flint and drove 40 minutes round trip out of my way to get these bad boys in my belly! Worth every minute.
Below: On a visit to the Henry Ford museum in Dearborn, MI I become the food I love!
