Chicagoans chow down to celebrate National Hot Dog Day
Summertime is peak hot dog season, according to the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, Americans eat 7 billion hot dogs. Chicago is number four on the list of top hot dog-consuming cities — and plenty of Chicagoans were enjoying hot dogs on Wednesday, whether they knew it was National Hot Dog Day or not. Relish Hot Dogs can be found at Michigan Avenue and Jackson Drive in Grant Park, right across the street from the Art Institute of Chicago. The first item on the menu is the all-beef original Chicago hot dog — with mustard, relish, onion, tomato, a pickle spear, sport peppers, and celery salt — on a poppyseed bun of course. "Ketchup available on request," the menu says. But to many Chicagoans, adding ketchup to a Chicago hot dog is less appealing than a sardine sundae. Every order at Relish Hot Dogs counted as a celebration this National Hot Dog Day. It is a day Relish Hot Dogs owner Michelle Olszanski… relishes. "It is a holy holiday here in Chicago, because we do have the best hot dogs around," she said. The Godfreys from Minneapolis were enjoying Chicago hot dogs for the first time. It may soon become a tradition. "It's like a crunchy hot dog, 'cause it has like all like the pickles," said Evy Godfrey, 10. "Three bites and it's gone," said Auggie Godfrey, 15. "Yeah, I'm trying to savor it," said Vilu Godfrey, 12. But for exchange student François Delestrade of the Toulouse area in France, setting aside an entire day to honor hot dogs is a bit of a foreign concept. "Yeah, it's good, but I prefer French gastronomy," Delestrade said. Well, who wouldn't like French gastronomy? But in Chicago, one must indulge. And let's be honest — National Hot Dog Day is a holiday Chicago can celebrate any day.

Here are restaurants in the Milwaukee area to get a hot dog on National Hot Dog Day July 16
National Hot Dog Day – which is Wednesday, July 16 – is your chance to find a tasty hot dog to try, with many area restaurants featuring the item on its menu. And here is a fun fact about hot dogs: They are a good source of protein. According to USA Today, hot dogs normally have 5 grams of protein. While it can be mixed if hot dogs are healthy or not, some argue putting vegetables as toppings can assist with hot dogs being part of a healthy diet.

Wienerschnitzel expands to Virginia with seven new locations
US hot dog franchise Wienerschnitzel has secured a deal to establish seven new restaurants in Norfolk and Richmond in the state of Virginia, marking its entry into the East Coast market. The expansion is led by Leon Dickey, who previously owned and operated multiple McDonald's restaurants in the Tidewater market. Dickey stated: 'Wienerschnitzel immediately stuck out to me for its unique positioning and operational efficiencies, and I knew I wanted to be the one to bring it to Virginia. 'The brand has an extremely loyal following out West, and I believe it's perfectly poised to resonate with guests here as well. 'There's nothing like it in the market — and I'm confident that the combination of craveable menu items and its scaleable model will set us up for long-term success.' The new Virginia locations will offer Wienerschnitzel's full menu, including its signature Chili Cheese Dog, Junkyard Dog, chili cheese fries, jalapeño poppers and Tastee Freez soft serve desserts. Wienerschnitzel currently operates 340 franchised locations across 13 US states, with more than 50 additional units in development across the US. Wienerschnitzel franchise development director Ted Milburn stated: 'This is a major milestone for Wienerschnitzel as we expand to the East Coast. 'Entering Virginia with a seasoned, rock-solid operator who has a strong background in running successful restaurants gives us tremendous confidence in the future of this market. 'It's a big step in our national growth strategy and the beginning of exciting momentum beyond our traditional footprint.'
