What a glorious and rare day it is when we have hotdogs, we have buns, we have cheese, we have fries, and above all, we have day-old chili con carne leftovers! Whoo-ee! We have all the ingredients for Chili Cheese Dog Night! Our arteries say no, no, no, but our food soul cries out Yessssss!!
It's sexy food! The dog laying down with the bun, it makes you think sultry thoughts. Put a blanket on: a silky layer of molten hot refried beans. Those beans provide a bass note for the chili, a flavour foundation that cannot be kept away from the meat. Then a thick layer of that chili. It was great yesterday, but now the flavours have had a chance to mingle. The peppers infuse the beef with tangy spice. The tomato and the onion hum in mellow unison. The heat still singes!
Quick! Put out the fire! Load the top with melty, melty cheddar cheese. There we go. That's the way. We add some fries on the side, a cherry coke, and we're eating our supper way up there in heaven on cloud nine.
