The ultimate Hot Dog experience transcends its humble origins to become a truly gourmet meal based on a simple, easy to prepare food. When you’re looking for fast, fun and flexible, it’s hard to beat a summer grilling with the All American Hot Dog at center stage.
Now, here at the EIB Network, we’re all about simplicity elevated to greatness, which is why we must request that you pause a moment to consider a few points before firing up the charcoal. The most important of these is the dog itself, the palette upon which your backyard artistry will be written.
It goes without saying that all-beef is the benchmark hot dog. The true aficionado, though, demands a lightly smoked flavor, a juicy texture, and that definitive snap when you bite in that absolutely defines the hot dog experience. It should come as no surprise that Rush prefers the Allen Brothers Steak Dog… after all, this is the dog selected as Top Dog by the Chicago Tribune and by Forbes Magazine. This, friends, is a hot dog you can eat with, well… relish.
And since toppings are on the menu, feel free to make your dog the center of a regional American celebration. Here are some idea starters:
• Chicago- The classic: Grilled Allen Brothers Steak Dogs, Yellow Mustard, chopped fresh onion, bright green relish, celery seed (the secret key!), and new pickle on a poppy seed bun. Save the ketchup for the children and infirm.
• New York- Steamed Dogs and buns, topped with brown mustard and sauerkraut.
• Detroit Coney Dogs- A local institution! Top grilled dogs with well crumbled ground beef, chili sauce, shredded cheese, finely chopped onions, and yellow mustard.
Why not take a tour of your favorite American City this weekend without leaving the yard? Let Allen Brothers Steak Dogs and your own toppings and imagination take you away.
The benefits of flash frozen beef:
Wondering about frozen beef? You’re not alone… lots of people call and write Allen Brothers to ask if freezing in any way diminished the quality of their steaks. The answer, resoundingly, is no… in fact, freezing assures the quality of your meal.
Allen Brothers steaks are frozen in large, walk-in flash freezers that get to and maintain super low temperatures, freezing steaks at 30 degrees below zero in 50 mph winds. This freezing, which takes less than an hour for a full box of steaks, stops the aging process, and locks the juices in the center of the beef, right where they belong. Sealed in commercial grade packaging, Allen Brothers steaks hold their quality until you thaw them on a plate in your refrigerator. Just make sure they’re fully thawed and warmed to near room temperature before cooking.
By the way, remember that a frozen steak can be kept for months at home and still taste great, so you can order ahead and be ready whenever company shows up. But you don’t have to wait… any occasion is perfect for a Prime Steak from Allen Brothers.
