I don&#8217;t care. Lots of things are terrible. A hot dog every once in a while isn&#8217;t going to kill me.<\/p>\n<p>When I lived in the City of Kawartha Lakes at the turn of the century, one of my biggest treats on my occasional visits to nearby Toronto was getting a hot dog from a street vendor. When I was in Quebec in 2012, I fell back in love with a <a href=\"http:\/\/travelswithmiranda.uskeba.ca\/theres-nothing-like-quebec-fast-food\/\">steam\u00e9 all dressed<\/a>, just about the epitome of the perfect hot dog in my book &#8212; cheap, savoury, and with a lovely mushy bun.<\/p>\n<p>Tonight, I decided to walk into the village past 6:30 to get supper from a cart. I didn&#8217;t have to go far. There was a hot dog vendor set up next to where the chicken lady has her barbecue.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to try one and was offered condiments and agreed to tomato, onion, and mustard. A spot of relish instead of tomato would have made this\u00a0 the best hot dog I have ever had!!! The problem with a Quebec steam\u00e9 is that the whole thing is steamed. I like the steamed bun. I&#8217;m not so crazy about the steamed dog. I prefer hot dogs seared in a little fat to give them extra flavour. This hot dog had a steamed bun and a seared wiener!<\/p>\n<p>The cost was 13 pesos for a hot dog! Holy smokes! That brings me back to my dad reminiscing about the days he could buy a hot dog for a quarter and get change!<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to get two next week. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, I know hot dogs are terrible, bla bla bla.
