I don't know why hot dogs are always so good. Especially if its cold out and you can see the steam rising off of it. Magic I'm guessing. I can boil, steam, fry and grill a hot dog and not matter how perfect i do it... its just not as good as from a damn cart.
I got a mini popcorn stand for Christmas one year. And I have all the "secret" ingredients to make movie theater popcorn. And I can get pretty close I think but then I go to the theater and it's not really that close. lol
