President Obama may be from Chicago, but he still needs some help when it comes to cooking up Chicago-style hot dogs.The kicker? According to the article, Payne didn't even bring the ingredients for the Chicago dogs with him. Instead, he gave a grocery list "with all the traditional fixings" to the White House chef.The White House was preparing for its annual congressional picnic for last Tuesday and they wanted Chicago-style hots on the menu. Only catch, the staff didn't know how to make them, reports Lynn Sweet at the Sun-Times.
So the White House staff got in touch with Byron's Hot Dogs owner Mike Payne and flew him to the White House to assist the kitchen staff in preparing hot dogs for Tuesday’s annual congressional picnic.
Um, is it just me, or is that the kind of thing that could be done via phone or e-mail or by looking at a fucking cookbook instead of flying someone several hundred miles across the country?

Hello Mr. Fiddle, may I introduce you to Ms. Burning, M. Washington, and Nero Obama Claudius Caesar Drusus Germanicus.
...I'm sure you'll all get along quite well together.

Obama reminds me of a college freshman partying every day and then not understanding why he's flunking out. Except in this case, daddy's credit card doesn't even have a limit.

I will have at least one hot dog at every ball park I go to, for tradition, but the only hot dogs I enjoy are from Dallas Hot Wieners in Kingston, NY (New York Staaa-aaate?). Steamed dogs, steamed buns, hot sauce, mustard and onions are standard.
Two Greek guys opened competing 'Texas' hot wiener places in a town with 25k people 75 years ago, Dallas and Uncle George's, and they flourished (until Uncle George became an asshole, now there are two Dallas Hot Wiener places in Kingston and they've opened another I see).
I have no idea if anybody in Texas has ever heard of this concoction, but it's fantastic.
It's a very thin almost sloppy joe sauce that spicy and tasty. Very thin compared to sloppy joes. I've never seen anything like it anywhere else. The hot dog is really just a vehicle to get the sauce in your mouth.
Whenever I even drive past Kingston, I stop and get 3 no onions and fries (one to go, the dog loves them too).
I'm going camping near Lake Placid next week and I'll be driving by, mmmm-mmmmm. There's a German place in Albany where I get some great hot dogs for Dallas' sauce.
I can't wait.,

And I'm from Chicago (I don't like "chicago style" hotdogs, I'm a mustard and onion guy, or a chili and onion guy)
It's an EFFING HOTDOG!
