>>11587769
just mustard most of the time. but if i'm feeling really hungry then mustard on the bun first, hot dog, chili, a mix of minced onion and pickled jalapenos, and a few dashes of tapatio or cholula.

the free kimchi from the costco food court

Hi!!

I’m here to talk about the incredible dog that is the Kirkland hot dog,

Did you know that Costco loses money every time it sells a $1.50 hot dog and doesn't care. On our long list of things we love about Costco, the $1.50 hot dog special (dog and soda) is up there.

The drink combination even includes free refills, and I can promise you this is the cheapest place you'll find 100% all beef hot dogs outside of a kids' sport concession stand.

The Costco hot dog has been around for almost 34 years, and it has never gone up in price!

CONTRARY TO MYTH, THE HOT DOG IS A QUARTER-POUND 100% BEEF DOG.

Despite the same price tag, the hot dog is about 10 percent thicker than the original quarter-pound version in 1984.

If you combined the yearly hot dog sales from every Major League Baseball stadium in the U.S., Costco will have outsold them four times over.

In 2015, Costco sold 128 million hot dogs. They tend to sell, on average, 100 million hot dogs yearly. Wild, huh?

Apart from being a 100% pure beef hot dog, each signature hot dog does not contain: by-products, corn syrup, phosphates, fillers, or artificial colors or flavors. One could say that they can get away with using less additives because they sell so many each year, but really it just proves the quality of Kirkland Signature. 100% BEEF

Some stores might have phased out the onion and sauerkraut dispensers, but you can still ask for those toppings on your dog while you're at the counter. They come free of charge, too.

I hope you have enjoyed learning about the Kirkland hot dog and enjoy one next time you visit your favorite Costco!!

I find it hard to believe they lose money on those hotdog combos. I'm sure it's shit margins but I doubt they actually go negative

Kraut and a good hot mustard, onions optional.

Chili, cheese and onions is a close second.

>>11588395
They might lose money once you account for wages, but I'm with you on the actual hotdog economics.

Regular hotdog: Two rows of ketchup either side, then a zigzag of mustard down the middle
Sausage/Brats: horseradish on both sides

>>11587769
Chili, cheese, crushed Fritos. Best with bacon wrapped dog

>>11588395
the hot dogs are loss leaders anon, its a widely used tactic.

>>11588395
The cheap delicious hot dog gets you in the CostCo doors. Then you remember you need toilet paper and a lightbulb, and you can get a 24-pack of both right there, while you eat your dog. It's an advertising tactic that only gets better as the price of a hotdog rises, but CostCo's stays the same.

any and everything but relish. gross

>>11587769
This ad looks like from 80s

>>11587769
Mustard, Relish, Ketchup, steamed bun 99% of the time.

Other 1% is when I add onions on top or I try something else (I tried chicago-style recently, I was pleasantly surprised, might get more in the future).

>>11588654
>>11588682
Im aware of what a loss leader is, I just don't believe it's an actual loss, just much smaller margins

>>11588395
but you gotta agree , they must lose money on those rotisserie chickens. i mean jeezuz

lol OP said wiener

also sauerkraut, mustard, chili, bacon, onions, hot cherry pepper and pieces of whatever i had for dinner last night

>>11589855
Probably break even. Don't forget those are factory farmed chickens they get wholesale for $2.50/bird at the quantity they buy.

I love the danger dogs in SoCal. Bacon wrapped, topped with grilled fajita veggies with salsa and maybe some mustard.

I also recently tried a Chicago dog. Shit’s good

>>11587769

Onions and ketchup. Anything more is pointless and stupid. You're eating a hotdog not a fucking four course meal in a bun.

chili cheese dog w/ jalapeno

The Chicago.

>>11587769
for me it's the whole shebaz. White onion, relish, japalenos, katsup, mustard.

>>11587769
Sauerkraut horseradish onions and mustard are all great

>>11587769
>polish sausage
F

Costco hotdogs are earnestly some of the highest quality hotdogs out there, much better than lots of actual brand name dogs. It defies the typical trend of Kirkland products being shit knock offs.

>>11587769
What is with people and calling franks weiners?

>>11587769
How fucking dare you?

>>11592275
F, my brother.

bacon-wrapped dog with chopped onions and ketchup. mustard is for degenerates

>>11592331
>uses ketchup on hotdogs
>mustard is for degenerates

Oh look, its opposite day.

>>11592421
this. why would you put ketchup on a hamburger or a hot dog when relish does the same thing 100% better?

>>11589855
every grocery store sell cheap roasted chicken cheaper than uncooked chicken.

>>11592288
Frankenweenie.

Just had dinner: garlic frank with sweet mustard, bockwurst with spicy mustard, both with kraut on French rolls. Feels good

>>11588395
The money the lose is insignificant compared to the money they make elsewhere
Especially since you need to pay for memebership just to walk in the store

>>11593035
>Especially since you need to pay for memebership just to walk in the store
you just flash an old costco card and no hassles

don't need a card to buy from the food court

>>11587769
Usually just mustard of any kind and celery salt since its kind of a throw away meal 90% of the time. Mustard and onions if there is time. If someone else is dealing with it chicago dog all the way. chili dogs are awesome too. Ketchup is for childen

pickled cabbage and pineapple pieces

>>11592533
Deutscher ?

>>11592247
why

>>11593275
have you ever had one?

>$6 for a hotdog, one flat rate
>can put LITERALLY ANY of the toppings on the list on it
>not even just one per section, you can check off every single box on that form for the flat rate of 6 dollars
My standard is:
- Every single meat
- Cream cheese, fondue, cheddar
- Spaghettios, onions, mushrooms, escarole, mac-n-cheese, hot fries
- Sauerkraut
- Tomatos, onions, cucumbers, pico de gallo
- black truffle mustard, korean bbq, chimichurri, fry sauce, garlic aioli
Rate/10
