America, home of the free…and the brave…and the chili cheese hot dog lovers!!! All american holidays require good ol’ American grub and to me, that’s burgers and hot dogs!
But not just plain dogs with ketchup or mustard…fabulous dogs (like Kobe Beef Hot Dogs!) smothered in delicious chili and cheese with spicy jalapeño rings!
The topping ideas are endless…so get as creative as you want…
