My cousin told me that Americans spent more than $1.6 billion last year on hot dogs but I don't believe her. That is ridiculous.
I do like hot dogs and I think I ate more than my share last summer. But they are not everyone's favorite. My Aunt Louise loves barbecue

she can have a staw dog. I know my Aunt Louise so I can almost smell that barbecue chicken on the grill right now!
