JAMESTOWN – Wednesday is a day to shine a light on a summertime staple.

Known as National Hot Dog Day, the holiday commemorates the wieners.

There are many ways to prepare frankfurters, they can be grilled, roasted over a campfire, boiled or pan fried.

Wieners can be eaten plain or covered in a variety of toppings. Those include: mustard, ketchup, relish, onions, cole slaw and sauerkraut.

They’re popular items to eat at baseball games. Stadiums sell more than 25-million of them per year.

Locally, AJs Texas Hots has a daily special of three for four dollars. Johnny’s Lunch in Lakewood serves dogs on a daily also.
