We only put cheese on the dogs if they had chili on them too. :) But always cheese on the burgers. Linda

Thank you, Linda. I don't recall us putting cheese on a hot dog when we had them back in the mountains of West Virginia. But, it sounds tasty!

Thank you, Paula. Come on over and I'll throw an extra hamburger or hot dog on the grill. I don't want anyone to go away hungry!

Yummy Milt! Wonderful menu for a barbecue. I can smell the burgers and dogs cooking on the grill! And, as far as I'm concerned, a burger isn't a burger without cheese! Enticing. Congrats and five fives for your win!

Hi Milt, I really enjoy a grilled hotdog. The way you described it made me like it more. What are you firing up on the grill? Best wishes in the contest. Have a nice day and weekend:-) Alexis

Now that there's just me at home, I don't grill anymore, Alexis. I get invited to lots of cookouts, though. You have a nice weekend, too.

I love hot dogs! Can't go too long without having one, they are an event. I like mine warm, with mayo please. Yessss!

Ah, thanks, Anaya. I prefer mustard. I have discovered that folks in different parts of the country (and the world, for that matter) eat their hot dogs with their own special condiments. Endless variety, I'd say.
