Well, you won’t find hot dogs at Kevin Kossowan’s house! This is the second person to answer this question this way. Incredible! And, I agree. It is also my favourite place!
Loved to read Allan’s answers. I really enjoy these post, Sharon!

I’m a hot dog man too. We just had the first wiener roast of the summer last night. I always go horseradish, relish, Dijon. Anyone try the O Sol’ Meatos dogs?

Valerie – thanks for reading, as always. Kevin could start charging for those dinners, I think :).
Stacy – great when the weather cooperates for a wiener roast, eh? I’m a ketchup girl myself, and I have tried the O Sol’ Meatos dogs – they’re great!http://www.onlyhereforthefood.ca/2011/02/04/the-cooking-chronicles-o-sol-meatos-hot-dogs/
