Ahhhhhh,
our nation's capitol. Full of history, monuments, museums
and....sleaze. Too bad the Nationals ended up in Washington DC
instead of Charlotte when they moved from Montreal. The District of
Columbia would be a great town if it wasn't full of politicians.
Somehow,
during my lifetime, we went from our elected officials being
representatives of the people to being tools of establishment
politics. With all of the disdain that our lawmakers in Washington
invoke, this hot dog was designed with them in mind. Here is The
Politician.
Start
with on oversized bun. A big one, over inflated like our national
budget. Then put in a all-bull frank (normally an all-beef wiener,
but in this case it would be bull), lay in some pork, just like every
bill passed in congress. I use some boneless ribs in my dog, add two
slices of bacon because bacon comes from pigs and...well, you can
connect those dot. Lastly, add some shredded mozzarella cheese. I
originally did not intend to put cheese on this dog, but a lobbyist
from the dairy industry bribed me to do so.
While
this dog is delicious, it is named The Politician, so be prepared for
an upset stomach after ingesting it. As well as a bad taste in your
mouth. Just kidding, it really is tasty, but will all of that
political jargon I couldn't resist.
Beer
pairing. Fat Tire is one of my favorite beers. Their brewery is in
Fort Collins, Colorado. That is no where near Washington DC, but Fat
Tire rhymes with Big Fat Liar, so it really is a fitting beer for The
Politician.
