Happy National Hot Dog Day!

If you’ve been cutting back on meat lately—it’s a good idea for all of us—today is the day to release the veggie clutches and dive, mouth first, into a doughy roll filled with charred, porky stuff.

It’s National Hot Dog Day. So whether you choose loaded with toppings, Chicago-style, steamed and simple from a New York City street vendor, or squiggled with yellow mustard at the ballpark, celebrate the humble weiner. Following are some ways to do just that at home tonight.
