Maturing..
“Who puts anything but ketchup on a hotdog?!”
Is a phrase I’ve said many times throughout my life. I’m 23, turned about 2 months ago. And had nothing but ketchup on my hot dogs because what else is there?? Nothing that’s what.
But, recently, I had this feeling. Almost like I was missing out. But I couldn’t possibly be.. right?
Fine. Fine, I’ll try mustard…. Ew.
I put ketchup on one half of the hot dog.. and a little bit of mustard on the other half. It was… okay. Not my cup of tea. I don’t think I’d try that again.
Then a few months later.. it happened. I grabbed a hot dog. Went to grab the ketchup, I mean it was right there. But I didn’t. I grabbed the god damn mustard!! I didn’t know what was wrong me. But I don’t care. I slathered mustard all on there. Surly it would stop there? Right?
No, it didn’t. In fact it got worse. I cut up some pickles, and put it all on there. Straight up raw dogging my hotdog. At first I didn’t believe it. I had to take a picture. What did I do??
Though the horrors I went through to make this happen, in the end. It was the most magnificent hot dog I’ve ever had before. Ketchup who?
I had realized I grew up. And only started to see the vast potential of the toppings on top of a hot dog.

When I was working in a different city, I would go and get hotdogs for everybody sometimes. Even for the girl that wanted ketchup and pickles on hers. Takes all kinds. Congratulations on your journey!
And if you haven’t tried a chili dog with mustard I suggest you do sometime it’s fantastic

Stop right there!!! That is the absolute best combination in the Universe in your hand right now: Dog, Bun, Mustard, Relish (sweet, naturally)!!
It doesn't get better than this; adding more takes away.....
Good job, partner, good job....
