Fork In The Road hot dogs will spoil you for other puppies

I love a good hotdog as much as the next red blooded American, but I don’t buy them much anymore - until I found these. On a trip through Whole Foods recently, I saw these dogs and the package labeling said everything I wanted to hear - pasture raised beef, sustainable, family-farmed beef, independent ranchers, uncured without nitrates or nitrites, no antibiotics or hormones.

Jeeze, even the paper wrapper was ‘green’.

At the dinner table, however, it’s all about taste. We finally decided that so many of the lower calorie dogs we used to buy were also incredibly low on taste. And you just couldn’t seem to find a real hot dog - as opposed to the fancier chicken sausages and such - that fit my admittedly rigid metrics for health, animal welfare and all the rest.

Then came these puppies. I’ve gotta tell you, these Fork In The Road dogs taste fantastic. They are like the best dog you remember from your youth - providing that you’re as old as I am and remember food that wasn’t from a giant industrial meat farm.

 

They’re snappy. That first bite is into real meat, not filler or water. The smoke flavor is real, not chemically derived. The offer both a bun sized dog, and a longer dog that is just great for grilling or pan frying to schmear with a perfect mustard and top with some grilled onions. Fork in the Road even offers a responsible version of the cocktail ‘weiner’. Whoa!

These dogs deserve so much more than a bun and some condiments. They deserve to be talked up and about. You’ve got to try them!

Now I just wish they’d get off their butts and get their website up and running. A splash page isn’t cutting it.

Fork In The Road Mighty Good Dogs With Pasture-Raised Beef get a resounding thumbs up from me.
