The hotdog is perhaps the most quintessentially American food we have. Yes, it's just a weird approximation of a Western Europe sausage situation, but its over-processed and readily-available nature renders it as American as the stars and stripes.
There's nothing quite like a good glizzy in the summertime. They're a staple of Fourth of July barbecues, pool parties, and general warm weather merriment because they are as easy as they are satisfying. They already come pre-cooked, so all you have to do is kiss it on the grill, slap it between a bun, and you've got the perfect canvas for condiments, and a crowd of happy people. I'm partial to the mustard, relish, pickle direction, but the chili cheese dog is a delicacy that will not go unappreciated. So today we're honoring them in the best way we know how-- with a meme list fit for a king. Enjoy while making eye contact.
