So Hot Dog Towers Are A Thing
So Hot Dog Towers Are A Thing

I’m not sure backyard barbecues are supposed to be “fancy,” but here’s how to elevate yours:  HOT DOG TOWERS might be a big trend this summer.

“Fox News” just did a big story on how restaurants are offering them instead of seafood towers . . . because seafood is expensive, and times are tough.

You take a multi-tiered serving platter and put different types of hot dogs around it.  All three levels can be dogs, or you can use one level for fries and the top tier for condiments.  But don’t just load them on there.  It’s all about presentation.

A place in South Carolina called Sir Wieners is taking responsibility for the trend.  They partnered with an upscale place called Lamar’s last fall and added a hot dog tower to the menu.

The owner of Sir Wieners says people love it because it’s “over the top” and “the perfect mix of ridiculous and delicious.”
