More Guilty Pleasures: Costco Hot Dogs

By Julie

Elsha wrote about her snacktime guilty pleasure, so I thought I would confess one of my own. I love a Costco hot dog.

I am not generally a hot dog enthusiast. I prefer hamburgers at a cookout. My high school chemistry teacher once gave our class a detailed analysis of just exactly what goes into the production of hot dogs – right before lunch, I might add - that soured me on said cuisine for some time (my advanced age and moments of desperate hunger have softened my stance over the years). But. Costco.

I simply can’t pass up the deal of a refillable soda and a dog that you can cover in ketchup, mustard, relish, and onions.  What’s so special you ask? It costs $1.50. And it has since 1986. I appreciate that attention to value. In order to maintain that price, they’ve taken lots of measures, including producing the hot dogs themselves. That’s right, it’s a proprietary dog.

In fact, the entire Costco food court is a sea of guilty pleasures, what with the ginormous slices of pizza and the churros. Oh, the churros. That’s a subject for another post one day.

So what’s your shopping food court nosh of choice?

I can't resist the Very Berry FroYo parfait. I have them make it with half the froyo so it's not QUITE so bad. I do with they had more vegetarian-friendly entree choices - their cheese pizza doesn't cut it.

Our Costco recently introduced a hot turkey and provolone sandwich that is ahhhhmazing. So much so, I find myself popping into Costco for lunch. And I hate going to Costco.

We don't have Costco here, but I do love the Sam's club $1.50 pizza & soda combo. So good! So cheap!
