I may not be in the pink of health yet, but the sight of these plump, juicy, pink dogs inspire me to jump out of my sick bed and rustle one up right now. Is it their decidedly phallic shape that calls to me? Or is it simply the divine chili and relish toppings that get my heart going pitter-pat? (Not that one or two of these suckers couldn't stop my heart from going pitter-pat, if I don't keep up my gym regimen!)

Well, all I can say is that today's Wall Street Journal profile of the best hot dogs in America got me to thinking about the glories of Hebrew National, Nathan's and alike.

Mmmm. Barbecue season is approaching. A dog on the grill could be a must-do. Something to look forward to...as I continue to cough up a lung.
