Are you behind the hot dog condiment times?

07.02.2008

The Bite:
C'mon, ketchup. Tastier sausage-toppers are a Fourth of July must(ard), and now there are great organic versions to relish. Here are the best of the bun(ch).
The Benefits: 
  • Sweet meat. We devoured all different types of condiments to find the absolute best, so you don't have to.
  • Cleaner wieners. Less pesticide use in organic products means less chance of them getting on your dog - and in our groundwater.
Personally Speaking: 
He's not proud of it, but tipsy nights for Toshio in SF's Mission District inevitably end at one of the bacon-wrapped hot dog carts.
Wanna Try: 
  • Dulcet Creole Mustard - a bit pricey, but oh-so-delicious mustard with a kick that'll spice up even the blandest soy dog ($8/7 ounces).
  • Hawthorne Valley Sauerkraut - five extremely tasty, salty, handmade sauerkraut varieties ($5/15 ounces).
  • Woodstock Farms Ketchup - bold and sweet with a hint of caramel, it comes in a squeeze bottle with a wide lid ($4/20 ounces).
  • Whole Foods 365 - tastes like a solid version of your fave premade pickle paste, but it's organic ($3/10 ounces).

Cocktail Fact

Marlene Dietrich's favorite meal? Champagne and hot dogs.

Bang For The Bite

Though you avert a tiny bit of pesticide each time you dress your dog in organic ketchup, you'll have to place your buns elsewhere for a big eco-payoff.
