You see it's all about distilling the true essence of highly processed industrial meats in order to bring you a heightened culinary experience.
To begin with the chef must ask himself, "what is a hotdog?"
It's about knowing
Second, he must seek to understand the key elements of a hotdog
Third, he must respect the essential elements of the hotdog
Only then can one truly become the hotdog master
The true path to becoming a hot dog master is instinct.
One must become the hot dog.
