Its gotta be smaller too tho so its bite sized! tiny little steak in a pastry that then gets dipped in ketchup/mustard causing eveyone physical pain at ketchup on high quality steak.
Mini Wellington is a hipster thing where I am. No fewer than three people in my peer group have served them to me. Honestly it works way better than full size imo, because a slice of Wellington just gets soggy on the plate, but a personal mini Wellington gives you the full end to end texture.
Ya corndogs are the wild wild West of toppings do it however the fuck you please. I think it's because they're a fair food and not a street food per se. No rules about fair food other than "how much can you eat without puking"
I personally really enjoy the hot cheetos crust that a local place does on their corndogs. I just wish places would get out of the "ranch/mayo + X" idea on everything. I don't need a hot mayo, a jalapeno mayo, a sweet mayo, a bacon mayo, or any other fucking form of that crap.
When I make corn dogs with my own batter, the little sticks are helpful for dipping the hot dogs in the batter before frying. That said, I bet I could batter them with the stick, and figure out a way to release them into the fryer with some tongs or tweezers so that I can keep the even batter thickness and radial symmetry.
You could just use like chopsticks or a second stick, use one for dipping and the other one to slide the dog off the other stick into the oil. Might lose a little batter at the end of the dog though.
I think if I'm working over hot fryer oil I'd want a secure grip on each part, so I'd probably still be using something pinchy to smoothly pull through. One loose stick seems like it wouldn't be enough control to move quickly and safely.
Well a sandwich usually contains its insides way better than a burger, and is also usually not taller than my mouth. Bit harder to cut into a baguette than a soft bun, as well
In a high cost of living area that’s like seven spicy potato soft tacos each!
Not that the kids’ appetites will be driven by that small line of text on the menu board… (also this reminds me of people who have a no soda policy for the family so they can go out to eat and consistently save like three dollars a person)
My favorite part of modern eating is gating the best deals behind a spyware app so presumably they can sell your data (to your health insurer or something, when the next CEO decides they need a boost)
I constantly thank my parents in spirit, because fuck saying it to their hateful maga faces, for the no soda thing. I have seen far too much evidence for soda's addictive qualities in my patients, and the prices at the store are simply insane. I'm sure the water only life I live is at least partly responsible for the lack of waist ballooning that seems common among my coworkers.
I don't with family/kid, but my example still stands. Meals don't need to be $15-20/person. He'd rather get 2 tacos and a steam game than an extra burrito.
Drinks I fill up when I'm alone, usually during the workday. Not lately though, trying to quit soda.
ETA: I prefer pork in my sausage rolls. I actually made pork fennel and apple sausage rolls today for tomorrow's monthly birthday breakfast at work. They're my favourite, and always a hit.
Make fun all you want but a freshly fried hand dipped corn dog can be amazing. There used to be a walk up window stand that I would pass by when I was a kid and it would be made to order. Perfectly fried and hot. The cornmeal crust is crunchy on the outside, soft and a little sweet on the inside, contrasting the salty hotdog middle. You finish it off by eating the left over little bit of crunchy batter on the stick.
More proof that the corndog is peak snackfood, whatever way you look at it. Easy to eat because on a stick, low risk for spoilage because its made of 100% garbage, easy to cook because you just deepfry, good with sauce, good without sauce. Man, I love corndogs.

Use a fork. Put the stick between the middle tines of the fork, and slide it toward the dog and off the stick (into the oil).
Dunno if that adequately explained how I'm picturing it in my head
