The Best Part of This 4th of July . . .

I had some of this at a friend's house, and wow! This stuff takes a hot dog to places I didn't know hot dogs could go! Delicious! For over 50 years, Bertman's Ball Park Mustard has been THE mustard served at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium (and now at Jacobs Field). This mildly spicy, brown mustard has won several awards including a Gold Medal at the Napa Valley Mustard Festival. For me it is simply the best mustard for a hot dog that I have ever tasted!

I'll throw out this question for discussion: How do you dress a dog? I most often go mustard and relish, I love a chili dog when I can get it, and I do not put ketchup on a hot dog. What do you do with a dog?

Kev;
Do you have my white sweep background? It looks like that was what you used to make the photo of the mustard bottle. The double tube florescent fixture was a reasonable substitute for a "softbox" lighting system but the photo would be improved by lighting it with a large white reflector and indirect lighting.

That's definitely some good stuff there! You can order it at americanspice.com, but it says it's out of stock!

Yeah pop, I stole that from you this weekend. You should watch your things more carefully!

Thanks carmine. If my Cleveland connection falls through I'll check to see if that site has it in stock!

But how do you two like your hot dogs!?!?!

Pop and Carmine just don't get it...this ain't about "white sweep backgrounds" and "americanspice.com". Answer the question!! Sheesh...must be yankee's!

I'd like to eat a dog with some Bertman's while listening to some good 'ole Polka type music. Personally, I like my dog with just yellow mustard. Sometimes I'll add onions and relish. If I go for a Chilidawg I like mustard, KETCHUP, onions and cheese. I only add ketchup when chili is involved. In fact, I had a DQ dawg today with chili, cheese and mko!

Kevin, the only way to eat a hot dog is: Chopped onions down in the bottom of the bun, a very little bit of mustard and normal amount of ketchup on top of the onions to hold them in place, add the wiener, then chili over the top. NOW, the most important part is that the wiener most be BAR-S ALL BEEF. Check out the ingredients, this one has ONLY one line. Where as all the others have 5 or 6 lines of ingreatants.
