Aesthetics definitely play a factor-nothing screams Summer Vacation like a dog that’s walking the line between crisped and burnt-but I think the grilled versions are superior when it comes to flavor as well. While you can prepare them other ways, it is my opinion that unless you end up with blackened blisters and grill marks, you might as well not make hot dogs at all. The undeniable best part of a hot dog is the charred exterior that forms when it’s cooked over an open flame or under direct heat. But at the same time, I felt a deep sense of understanding. “Gross,” I thought, upon seeing photographic evidence of the four-year-old’s habits. What’s left behind is a slightly alarming meat core, pink and irregular.
Don’t think too hard about it: He eats the literal outer layer, consumed, I imagine, by biting at it like you would an ear of corn. Recently I came across a tweet about a small child who only eats the outside of his hot dogs.
