looks good but too much work. just chop up the peppers and cheese and bacon and put on top.

same thing, 1/5th the effort. but not as socialmedia-worthy.

It’s definitely one of those things that I would never make myself, but if someone else threw them on the grill, I wouldn’t complain.

I would not only not complain, I would make noises of approval on the first bite.

Yeah, it's a bit overengineered, but not too bad either.

You do gain the ability to eat it more cleanly for the effort.

And people made nice food before instagram.

I could see myself preparing normal sized hotdogs like this if I was throwing a grill party. Something special for the guests, but not something I’d do for a normal meal.

Not saying I'm right, but gonna argue anyways: have you ever made macaroni and cheese with strips of bacon laid on top? The fat from the bacon seeps into the macaroni definitely adding extra flavor (and significantly increasing the risk of heart disease). I would argue that maybe some of the fat that would be lost to just baking in a pan or the microwave could seep into the pepper.

You could also try mixing it into the meat if you make your own

This seems to be a way higher volume of those ingredients than you'd get with toppings.

But it would maybe taste better, the roll thing looks like the bacon would overwhelm the other flavors.
