And the hot dog winner is...

Tonight, we had my belated birthday party, the food centerpiece of which was a hot dog tasting. I assembled four competitors:

- Allen Brothers' steak dogs
- Lobel's
- Nathan's
- Sabretts

Though I did no scientific measurements, my random polling of those with opinions yielded the following result: no consensus. Allen Brothers', Lobel's, and Nathan's all received some first-place votes, and Sabretts garnered the most second-place nods.

The contest was fun, and all the dogs were tasty. The sides were great, and the desserts were wonderful.

I'm very lucky to have friends.
